The current attorney general interprets most DEI activities just that way. It is her justification for attempting to eradicate it.

It's also the premise of the order. The title starts with "Ending Illegal Discrimination".

That is really newspeak. "Ending Illegal Discrimination" by making it illegal to protect people from discrimination
