Fear of what though? What the root cause? I’m willing to bet it’s not fear of being put in jail for having DEI practices in place. I’m willing to bet a case of craft beer it’s the fear of losing money that’s driving it. They didn’t give a shit about the people unless you’re a majority shareholder.
Money is important though. People may lose their jobs if they don’t obey. Programs or even entire orgs will shut down.
I am not saying they should capitulate but also sometimes you need to pick your battles also. I have heard some nonprofits are purging certain words but planning to keep doing the same work. Is that the right choice? I don’t know but if it allows services to keep going to the vulnerable then maybe.
