Merit-Based Education and Employment – band DEI

POLITICAL ADVOCACY PLATFORM:

MERIT-BASED HIRING AND PROMOTION
MERIT-BASED ACADEMIC ADMISSION

1. MERIT-BASED HIRING AND ACADEMIC ADMISSION IS THE LAW: The United States
   Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Equal Pay Act of 1963 prohibits discrimination
   based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
   • Employment determination (hiring, firing, promotion) or a determination of admission to
     college or a magnet secondary school cannot discriminate based race, color, religion, sex,
     or national origin.
   • Equality of opportunity that produces diversity of outcomes with no pre-determined quotas is encouraged. Inequality of outcome based on favoritism given to certain race, color,
     religion, or national origin over others is illegal.
2. “DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION” (DEI) PRACTICES FAVOR UNEQUAL OUTCOME
   FAVORING CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS OVER OTHERS
   • DEI-based preferences use demographic data (such as race, color, religion, sex, or national origin) to influence decision-making at all levels, including determination of employment (hiring, firing, promotion) and academic admission.
   • DEI erects artificial barriers between demographic groups, where one group is favored
     over another based on their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. According to DEI
     practices, decision-making based on “merit” alone is inherently unjust since certain groups
     are handicapped by systemic racism or bigotry and require special dispensation to succeed.
   • “Diversity” refers to “marginalized groups” that have been subject to historical
     discrimination such as blacks, non-white Hispanic, native American, and the LGBTQ.
     Caucasians and Asians (includes Hindu Americans) are considered “dominant” due to their
     visibility in positions of power. “Equity” focuses on fairness and justice for members of
     the marginalized group. “Inclusion” is about making members of the marginalized group
     feel like they belong, their perspective is heard, and they are valued in any setting.
   • Marginalized group members qualify for preference (i.e. an invisible set aside quota) in employment (hiring and promotion) and in academic admission regardless of their
     qualifications. Marginalized group members are given preference in curriculum
     development, training, research grants, government funding, organizational policies and
     practices, and organizational culture.
3. DEI-BASED PREFERENCES DISCRIMINATE AGAINST HINDU AMERICANS
   • In DEI preferences for marginalized groups, performance metrices such as academic
     excellence, hard work, and volunteerism for the social good are devalued in importance.
   • The dominance of Hindu Americans is visible in elite academia, in preeminent professions such as law, medicine, investment banking. Their presence is also noticeable at the highest levels in corporate America, in politics and in government. Hindu Americans are thus
     qualified as a “dominant” and a “privileged” class because of their success. DEI practices
     are artificial barriers to thwart Hindu American success based on merit.
4. AMERICAN HINDU COALITION FIGHTS FOR THE RIGHTS OF HINDU AMERICAN
   YOUTH.
   • IN THE COURTS:
     -Students for Fair Admission vs. Harvard – won judgement against Harvard for discriminatory DEI practices against Asian American students (include Hindu Americans).
     -Parents Coalition for TJ vs. Fairfax County School Board (Virginia) – Court recognized
     DEI discriminatory practices against Asian American students (include Hindu Americans)
     in admission policy for Thomas Jefferson High School of Science & Technology (TJ).
     -Pending – litigation to ban DEI practice in employment (hiring, firing, promotion)
   • IN STATE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE: Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin: Education
     reform to ban DEI practices in magnate school admission.
