SCIENTISTS: Biden-Harris Administration Requires ‘Corrupt’ DEI ‘Politicized Litmus Test’ on NASA Innovation Funding

Academics: Biden-Harris administration's policies are a threat to national security

EXPERT: DEI mandates are a risk to national security as it depletes America’s competitive edge against adversaries.

(FOX NEWS) – The Biden-Harris administration has been conditioning funding at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to advance research in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and Medicine (STEMM) on “diversity statements” and equity requirements in what academics are calling a “politicized litmus test.”

From day one, the Biden-Harris administration announced it would overhaul every single agency with the ideals of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). It ensured there were DEI bureaucracies in place to impose its agendas regularly.

Not only did the DEI mission affect training, internal policies and hiring, but how federal agencies selectively funded and advanced scientific research, according to academics who spoke to Fox News Digital. They added that the DEI mandates are a risk to national security as it depletes America’s competitive edge against adversaries.

“This is a very, very bad idea. It’s corrupt, and it is corrupting,” Princeton professor Robert George told Fox News Digital, adding the DEI agenda “came on like gangbusters.”

“Our science has to be the best in the world,” he said. “If we are not in a position to defend ourselves and to deter that kind of aggression [from adversaries], we’re going to be very, very badly harmed. Our people are going to be very, very badly harmed.”

Those inclusion plans would then be scored, according to NASA’s Amanda L. Nahm, a program officer in the Planetary Science Division. She said that proposals which do not have the “inclusion” agenda will not be considered because they are “non-compliant proposals.”
