minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•15 days agoIt’s not DEI “language” it’s literally a ban on people. You can’t use the words “disability” or “disabled” anymore for example. That’s not banning DEI(A) language, just erasing a group of people.

I have to read 1984 again to see how this goes.
