Students and staff at universities across the United States are being forced to undertake diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training courses—which impresses upon students issues such as white privilege, the need to dismantle systems of oppression (including the United States itself), and so on.

Now, however, the Iowa Board of Regents has approved recommendations to scale back DEI initiatives.

NTD spoke to award-winning international journalist, educator, and author Alex Newman, who is also the president of Liberty Sentinel Media. He spoke about what plans to roll back such programs can actually achieve, and what students are experiencing on American campuses right now.
