Despite Trump’s grip on DEI, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says red states have a duty to uplift racial justice

As a popular governor in a ruby red state and Republican-controlled legislature, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is sort of a unicorn in Democratic politics.

GOP Kentucky House votes to close DEI offices at public colleges

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The Kentucky House voted Friday to choke off funding for diversity, equity and inclusion offices at public universities following an impassioned debate that had a GOP lawmaker dismissing DEI efforts as a failure and Democrats defending them as pillars of support for students from underrepresented groups. The overhauled bill passed the House by a vote of 68-18, sending it back to the Senate, which passed a much different version. House members stripped away the Senate’s language and […]
