Washington, DC – Congressman Alford introduced the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) Dead on Arrival (DOA) Act, a bill that would eliminate all DEI programs across the federal government. This move follows the Democrats' efforts to codify DEI curriculum in the federal government.

The bill, co-sponsored by Representatives Harshbarger, Burlison, Rosendale, and Duncan, has sparked a debate on the role of DEI programs in government institutions.

Congressman Alford explained his motivation for the legislation, stating, “As a nation, we should place our focus on our commonality and the things that unite us. We certainly should not allow rotten initiatives such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs to grow within our government. That is exactly why I am introducing legislation to prevent any federal agency from instituting DEI in their trainings. My colleagues and I on the Armed Services Committee have worked tirelessly to ensure these curriculums are eliminated from our military. Now, it is time to take it a step further and eliminate DEI across the federal government.”
