One Oregon county voted to table a six-figure diversity, equity and inclusion proposal that a county commissioner argues is dividing the community.
the Equity and Inclusion Office"leads a culture of learning and awareness of equity and inclusion by guiding, supporting and collaborating with employees and residents in order to foster welcoming communities, and create greater connections where all people thrive and belong."
"I love this country and I'm proud to be a gay man raising a diverse family in the best country in human history," West said during a budget deliberations meeting last week."I don't want to live in an America where my son is told that his father victimizes him because of the color of his skin, because of some type of privilege in the ether."" he continued.
Despite his pushback to the proposal, West said he remains hopeful society can revert to a time when DEI wasn't the centerpiece of many community-based discussions.
