How the State Department’s Discriminatory DEI Programs Undermine U.S. Diplomacy and Betray American Values

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. The United States needs a professional Foreign Service whose members are selected through objective, meritocratic criteria and are accountable to the President.

  2. By de-emphasizing the Foreign Service Officer Test, the State Department has sidelined merit and equal opportunity in favor of “equity” based on race or sex.

  3. In the name of “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” the State Department has instituted discriminatory criteria for recruitment, promotion, and job assignment.
