| 0:00.0 | It's Wednesday, January 28, 2006. I'm Albert Mueller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and |
| 0:12.0 | events from a Christian worldview. If you were to rewind history just about half a decade, go back |
| 0:17.7 | five or maybe even six years, and you compare that moment with this moment. |
| 0:22.9 | One of those interesting things you would note in America, and furthermore, you could go beyond |
| 0:27.4 | the United States and global culture, is that certain initials that were absolutely prominent |
| 0:33.0 | five years ago are now a bit embarrassing. And frankly, many corporations and other institutions are |
| 0:39.6 | moving as quickly away from some of these initials as possible. But most of them don't want to |
| 0:45.1 | acknowledge that's what they're doing. So, you know, three of these initials are DEI, |
| 0:50.3 | diversity, equity, and inclusion. These initials became an agenda, or the agenda became initials. |
| 0:57.2 | And when you had the American political left, and again, it's not just in the U.S., but let's just |
| 1:01.1 | think about North America. As you think about the cultural landscape, you had so many on the |
| 1:06.9 | cultural left pushing agendas, and it was an enormous array of issues that came under |
| 1:12.1 | the category of DEI. Basically, it was identity politics. It was preference based upon |
| 1:18.6 | categories of people who were declared to be oppressed in one way or another. It included |
| 1:23.7 | intersectionality, the idea that there are overlapping identities in which you could have |
| 1:29.9 | ever-increasing oppression. So just to make the matter very clear, intersectionality worked |
| 1:35.1 | in terms of leftist theory this way. If you were a woman, you were oppressed. If you were |
| 1:40.6 | an ethnic minority woman, you are doubly oppressed. If you are an ethnically minority |
| 1:46.0 | woman who's also a lesbian, then you are triply oppressed. And on the left, you actually had the |
| 1:52.0 | kind of contest, and I'm not making this up, that came down to who's most oppressed, or I'm more |
| 1:57.8 | oppressed than you are. And of course, the answer to that in terms of policy |
| 2:01.3 | was preferential treatment. But you see many institutions and organizations that now claim |
