Biden’s Department of Energy is “encouraging” the prioritization of minorities when doling out grants for projects.

As reported by Daily Wire, the announcement from the DOE emphasizes that “underserved communities and underrepresented groups” be included in any projects that apply to them for grant backing.

The official dispatch specifically states that the diversity focus is a deciding factor in the selection process of what’ll get approved.

In some respects it’s made mandatory.

“Applicants are required to submit a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan that describes the actions the applicant will take to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment, support people from underrepresented groups in STEM, advance equity, and encourage the inclusion of individuals from these groups in the project.”

On the Biden administration’s first day in office they published their policy agenda putting identity politics at the forefront. It declares “systemic racism” in the United States to be a full-on thing, and pushes for “equity across the Federal Government.”

“Equality” not being mentioned at all, but with “inequality” being used as a word only twice. In comparison with the usage of “equity” as a term twenty-one times.

This isn’t the first department under the Biden administration to make race a factor. Months ago, over in the Department of Agriculture, white farmers who applied for a federal COVID loan forgiveness program were shut out.

It was last week that a federal judge temporarily blocked that program.
