On this President’s Day, not even a month into the second term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America, uncertainty and chaos have escalated to unprecedented levels through the use of seemingly haphazard presidential executive orders and decrees from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) that face little to no oversight from an apparently impotent Republican Congress.

We are currently witnessing a dismantling of established federal agencies by an unelected billionaire with no resistance from a muted Republican-led Congress. Closer to home in Indiana, within hours of being inaugurated as Governor Mike Braun, signed a flurry of detrimental Executive Orders, such as Executive Order #25-14 which states executive branch state agencies may not use state funds or resources to “support diversity, equity or inclusion positions, departments, activities, procedures or programs if they grant preferential treatment based upon one person’s particular race, color, ethnicity, or national origin, over that of another person.”

On today’s edition of Bring It On!, hosts, Clarence Boone and Liz Mitchell, tackle this issue with former University Chancellor, Dr. Charlie Nelms, and Director of Undergraduate Studies in African American and African Diaspora Studies, Dr. Valerie Grim.
