What Can South Carolina Learn From California’s Wildfires?
“Many are now realizing that it’s best to hire people based on merit, not melanin content or sexuality…”

I think DEI is a bunch of BS, but this article fails to make a single documented connection between those initiatives and the wildfires in California. The west coast’s approach to woodland management, or rather a lack of it, goes way back. Weather patterns certainly play a big role. This writer wants us to believe that the occurrence of DEI hires made some kind of meaningful impact on this situation, and I find it hard to believe.
It’s not even like non-DEI hiring practices put the best and brightest in important decisions. Look around at our government and industry. So many times, it’s who you know or who your daddy was that determines whether you get a position or not. Hell, if best and brightest was the determinant of who took a role, most of our legislators would be panhandlers.

So make it worse by hiring people based on a preference of skin color or sexual diversity?
No. meritocracy and impartiality are the tributaries that flow into a thriving river. “I have a dream that my 4 little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

1. Put competent people in charge of forestry and fire policy – these fires are nothing new and are a direct result of California’s giving in to the enviroloons. Cut fire breaks, do prescribed burns,build and maintain an adequate storage pond and line system regardless of a stupid 2 inch fish that has largely gone extinct anyway.
2. Spend money on things you can actually fix AND that you’re mandated to do, like maintaining your water supply and your fire trucks
3. Stop electing woefully incompetent “leaders” because they check some equity block you think makes you look like you “care”
Fire hydrants are designed to work for a single home, not an entire neighborhood. Case closed.
If you’re so worried about DEI look for the latest example, Pete Hegseth, a guy with no qualifications to run the DOD and admits he will have to hire people smarter than him.
The hysteria over DEI and CRT is SHT. Get a grip, sister.
Publishing this moron’s articles is more DEI than anything going on with respect to CA’s wildfire fighting.
DEI is discriminatory and promotes division. Hiring should always be merit-based. Voters have shown that they want to move past the days of race and gender quotas. The left just won’t let go. President Trump says it best. “Illegal DEI and DEIA policies not only violate the text and spirit of our longstanding Federal civil-rights laws, they also undermine our national unity, as they deny, discredit, and undermine the traditional American values of hard work, excellence, and individual achievement in favor of an unlawful, corrosive, and pernicious identity-based spoils system. Hardworking Americans who deserve a shot at the American Dream should not be stigmatized, demeaned, or shut out of opportunities because of their race or sex.”
