AT&T just made a bold stand against the flawed DEI agenda that’s been creeping through corporate America’s backdoor for years. The telecom giant is ditching its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, a move that’s long overdue in an era of woke overreach. With the shifting legal ground thanks to recent Supreme Court decisions and executive orders, companies like AT&T are finally waking up and realizing that pandering to the social justice crowd isn’t just foolish—it’s a legal headache waiting to happen.
This isn’t just a decision born of legality; it’s a strategic pivot back to common sense. AT&T is smartly refocusing on what truly matters—being the best at what they do: connecting Americans through unparalleled fiber and 5G networks. They plan to build the most robust communications infrastructure in the country, and DEI distractions were simply cluttering up their vision. No more wasting time on nonsensical quota-driven hiring. AT&T is reaffirming meritocracy, where jobs are earned, not handed out as participation trophies.

The change doesn’t stop at hiring practices. AT&T’s overhaul affects employee groups and supplier contracts, too. The days of treating organizations differently based on the word salad of diversity are over. Contracts will be awarded on performance, not on political correctness. And supplier deals will be stripped of any demographic biases, putting value first—where it belongs.
And let’s not forget about those ridiculous surveys. AT&T’s decision to drop out of virtue-signaling industry surveys is a breath of fresh air. They’ll focus on what really matters: cultural objectives that align with their business goals and help their employees thrive—not trendy, feel-good checkboxes that serve no real purpose.
This isn’t a decision made in isolation. Universities, companies like Meta and Walmart, and even the federal government are backing away from the DEI cliff, proving just how un-American this forced agenda is. AT&T’s bold move should set a precedent. It begs the question: Doesn’t America deserve a workplace where merit and ability shine brighter than the divisive DEI rhetoric?
