Immediately after taking office, Republican governors in Indiana and West Virginia took swift and decisive action against DEI in their states. Praise God!

From The Federalist. Indiana and West Virginia’s new GOP governors signed executive orders on Tuesday effectively prohibiting the use and funding of neo-Marxist policies throughout their respective governments.

Citing the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 decision barring affirmative action in institutions of higher education, Indiana Gov. Mike Braun ordered that all statewide agencies “shall not utilize state funds, property, or resources” to support so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion positions, departments, activities, procedures or programs if they grant preferential treatment based one person’s particular race, color, ethnicity, or national origin, over that of another person.” …

Braun’s directive prohibits Hoosier State agencies from using funds and resources to mandate individuals to participate in DEI-related trainings, provide DEI-related statements, or “disclose their pronouns.” …

Much like Braun’s edict, West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey’s order similarly bars entities that receive state funds from utilizing monies and resources to subsidize DEI-related positions, activities, and programs that “grant preferential treatment based on one person’s race, color, sex, ethnicity, or national origin over that of another.” …

Braun and Morrisey’s directives cracking down on the pervasiveness of neo-Marxist ideology in state governments were two among several signed by the GOP governors since taking office this month. …

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your precious word of truth. We thank You for Jesus, His sacrifice and Your resurrecting power. Thank You for revealing the lies and deceit in the ideology of DEI and other Marxist teachings. Thank You for the bold leadership from Governor Braun and and Governor Morrisey and Your wise counsel that surrounds them. Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor. May Your word be the true source of measurement in all decision making, as we are created in the likeness and image of You. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Father, thank you for these governors and those who are banning DEI in their states. Raise up all the states to do this. Help us as intercessors, to not grow tired of praying for your work, even when it seems all is going well. It is in those times that we relax. Help us not to because evil is waiting for us to forget to pray.

Where are the rest of the governors? Do they not believe in qualifications for job duties?
