Toobin: Mass Resignations on DoJ’s Civil Rights Division Will Be ‘a Vehicle to Attack the President’s Enemies’ Especially the Colleges and Universities

EXCERPT:

TOOBIN: "Well, you know, the Civil Rights Division gives you almost a perfect window into each administration‘s priorities, because they — all they‘re supposed to do is investigate civil rights. But what is civil rights? There are very different definitions of it, especially now. Historically, this department has been devoted to protecting the rights of people of color, especially when it comes to voting rights. I mean, that‘s been a big priority in the Civil Rights Division. That‘s completely gone. And what‘s going to happen now is that this is going to be a vehicle to attack the president‘s enemies, especially at colleges and universities, that use some sort of DEI, diversity, equity and inclusion, whether in course selection, in picking faculty. And it‘s going to be a big, ugly fight, but it‘s going to reflect what the Trump Administration wants to do."
