Pick a topic and someone is gonna have a really bent take on how things would be... and keen on jamming that take down someone else's throat so they can feel better.

I raised DEI as an example of a field started with good intentions to solve very real and important problems that, in my experience, completely lost its way. That's not to say there isn't good work being done or good people doing it, but from what I've seen DEI has in many ways been whittled down to a combination of public relations and CYA policies.
DEI has definitely become a political trope, but regardless of what Newt Gingrich or any other talking head might say, there are plenty of valid critiques that can and should be made of the field if its going to get back on track.
