                        WHAT IS WRONG WITH DEI?

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, one of the topics going around America 
today and around this institution is: What is wrong with DEI? I bring 
attention to an article in The Washington Times earlier this week in 
which they pointed out that America's colleges and universities are 
sometimes having voluntary separate graduation ceremonies depending 
upon race or sex.
  The only purpose for this is to put it into people's heads that 
forever they should be divisive and they are not 100 percent American, 
but they should always consider themselves Hispanic American or Asian 
American or what have you.
  We see the same thing in America's large corporations, where our 
grossly overpaid CEOs are hiring these people to divide people once 
they go out in the working world.
  I call upon the regents, the State legislators, and the boards of 
directors to take action and get rid of this occupation in their midst, 
the sole purpose of which is to permanently divide Americans.
