    In a rare occurrence, a republican seems to have come to his senses and grown a spine.

    ”Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) signed a bill into law on Tuesday which would roll back governmental and university Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs in the state.

    The bill, HB261, would prohibit the use of DEI-related terminology in programs at public schools, colleges and universities, and state government agencies, as well as “open any specific race- or gender-based efforts to all individuals.”

    The new law will also prohibit employers from asking questions about a prospective hire’s opinion on DEI ideology. Gov. Cox previously referred to these varieties of diversity statements as “awful, bordering on evil,” characterizing it as “forcing people into a political framework before they can even apply for a job with the state.”

    The move sets a new tone for Gov. Cox, who previously appeared to express favorability toward some of the principles related to DEI. At the start of his term in January 2021, Cox signed the Utah Compact on Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. The compact included various directives toward achieving “racial equity,” including the declaration that “unraveling centuries of internalized and systemic racism requires bold anti-racist actions and policies right now.”

    The compact concluded by declaring Utah’s newfound focus on racial justice that, “our commitment will not just be a passing moment, but a legacy movement of social, racial and economic justice.” For Cox, therefore, this newfound opposition to the DEI ideology that he once affixed his signature in support of represents a remarkable about-face.

    Cox and the state of Utah have now joined the ranks of a number of red states and conservative organizations that are taking action to oppose DEI policies and ideology.”

    A weasel changes direction. Not surprised. Not trustworthy but headed the right way for the moment.

    Some of these politicians are simply watching those on side of freedom, liberty, and opportunity push back, and the election of Javier Milei and other successes is starting to cause them to get the cold sweats.

    If they begin to believe that catering to the woke / racist crowd is not a net positive for them, they will abandon the position in a heart beat.

    The trick is to identify those individuals and organizations and mark them, as they cannot be trusted and you cannot have confidence in their statements in support of anything. Abandon them, and elect a Constitutionalist.
