OK, so you read that section and see it as "repeatedly said programs that are aimed at a helping women and people of color should be ended"?

There is another section with programs Damore claimed would be more effective. I am confused why replacing programs equates to ending them. Unless the goal is only to have good intentions, shouldn't the effectiveness of programs matter?

My interpretation:

He uses that to suggest the programs increase racial tensions, not to suggest that we shouldn't be trying to get more people of color involved in tech. He cites this article [0] as his reasoning.

Is there something I'm missing?
