I testified to Congress again today, my 4th time doing so. Here’s a link to my testimony.

The White House sent 12 others and me a two-sentence email on behalf of President Trump. Details here…

What should be the consequences of making up fake, nonexistent research studies and using them to inform federal health policy? Read my newest article before answering…

Here’s some encouragement for the week, months, and years ahead. Let’s keep hope alive in this stormy season and beyond.

I desperately want to be wrong about this. Tragically, I am not wrong.

My response to the twisting of MLK's "judged by the content of their character" quote to justify colorblindness. As someone who has read dozens of King's writings, this misrepresentation irritates me EVERY TIME it happens, including last week during the Congressional hearing in which I testified.

I am testifying to Congress at 10:15am EDT today. The hearing, “Restoring Excellence: The Case Against DEI,” will be live streamed via YouTube. Watch at the link below.

Why aren’t they saying or doing anything right now? I’m asking for a friend…

I offer practical guidance here on ways to address last Friday’s frightening ‘Dear Colleague’ letter from the U.S. Department of Education. Please share widely.

My newest article is NOT about litigation against employers. Instead, it's about suing those who've become social media famous for lying on DEI professionals and boasting about their roles in getting those workers fired. They should be held legally accountable, if possible.

I am grateful to be #1 in Government and Policy and #8 overall in the field of education. But I am even more thankful for opportunities to teach various publics, help shape public policy, and improve what happens in public educational institutions. race.usc.edu/2025/01/28/h...

Remember, fired DEI professionals are people — people whose lives and careers are being devastated by evil, divisive politics and misinformation. The people deserve better, I insist in my newest TIME article.

Perhaps you will find insights I offer in this new article useful as the politicized DEI disposal dangerously intensifies during this political era.

U.S. President Joe Biden sent this letter thanking me for my service to our country. I want him and Vice President Kamala Harris to know how grateful I am for theirs. I will continue to honor them as I serve the remainder of my term over the next 3 years.

Here’s the link to my newest article. As noted therein, I think it’s disgusting that anti-DEI opportunists are using this crisis to further advance their reckless, divisive misinformation agenda. It’s not what we need here in L.A. right now. Make it stop.

Join us live now on MSNBC
