And did we mention that Black History Month and Women's History Month and Pride Month have been targeted? Gone, y'all. And this is just the tip of the iceberg!

🍎Scholarships like "STEM For Girls" that support girls studying in those fields will be eliminated. Why? Because the awards are gender-specific.

🍎Vendors that commit to DEI, like Sysco, would no longer be allowed to provide services to schools. Why? Because DEI would be "illegal".

🍎Girl Scouts who meet at schools will be harmed. Why? Because their organization is for girls.

🍎Professors of majors like African American Studies, Women's History, Feminist Literature, etc will not be able to teach their subjects. Why? Because those are gender- and race-oriented.
