A group of House Republicans has raised concerns regarding the allocation of taxpayer money towards government diversity programs. In a letter addressed to the Office of Management and Budget, these lawmakers emphasized the need for transparency in revealing the extent of funding directed towards diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Missouri congressman Eric Burlison, a member of the House Oversight and Education committees, is leading this inquiry. When questioned about the approximate annual expenditure on government DEI programs, Burlison highlighted the findings of an investigation conducted by his team. They identified around 270 line items in the federal budget related to DEI, amounting to billions of dollars in total.
