"The DEI police came to my unit" Veterans Affairs.

read below, posted on Reddit. I think they would yank down those type of recruiting posters that show a diversity of people: woman, man, person in wheelchair, black, white, Asian, elderly.

The DEI police came to my Unit

We just had a Veterans Affairs police officer and some random guy in a suit come around our unit at the VA looking for any DEI material on the wall. I'm generally not much of a doomer but this is starting to feel a little fascist.

Edit: I'm going to clarify since this has been pointed out a few times. By VA police I mean our campus Veterans Affairs police. I realize that, despite this being a fed page, some people might think I meant Virginia police. The VA cops I know are cool people who I chat up all the time. I wasn't trying to say that the cops are being used as like stooges. The cop was just escorting the guy around. I more so mentioned the cop because the optics of the situation. That along with how seriously they are taking this nothingburger situation. Also they left with no posters on my unit, because we didn't have any DEI items. I'm not sure why trump or any other non-government employee this we are just swimming in DEI. The only DEI we do is giving hiring preference for Veterans and people with disabilities. Hope that clears things up.
