While I agree with your assessment of the situation, even then I wouldn't have a government policy which forces the DEI policies out. If the management, board, and ultimately shareholders of business want to run the most "progressive"/"woke" hiring and HR policies imaginable: they have the right to do so. Mind you I probably wouldn't want to even be a customer of such a company let alone work for it, but a private entity should be able to act as they see their best interest dictates.

What about title VII banning discrimination on the basis of race (among other factors)? That's outright illegal

There's likely enough ammunition on social media rn for plenty of litigation wrt this

Sorry, I had thought I'd established context better than I had. My broader point was about what what I would prefer the law to be rather than the way it is.

So I meant "moral right" rather than "legal right". The substance of morals and laws coincide much less frequently than the language used by both pursuits.
