Tim Walz issued one executive order in his first month as governor of Minnesota.
One. No issue in the entire state of Minnesota rated this much attention, because Walz was addressing a desperate emergency in our state.
Minnesota, you see, didn't have a Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity Council, and he needed to fix that. It was so high a priority for him that he made himself its chair in addition to establishing the council.
Our State must be a leader in ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to thrive. Disparities in Minnesota, including those based on race, geography, and economic status, keep our entire state from reaching its full potential. As long as inequities impact Minnesotans' ability to be successful, we have work to do. Our state will recognize its full potential when all Minnesotans are provided the opportunity to lead healthy, fulfilled lives.
Diversity, inclusion, and equity are therefore essential core values and top priorities to achieve One Minnesota.
For these reasons, I order that:
1. The One Minnesota Council on Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity ("Council") be established.
2. The Governor will serve as the Chair of the Council.
3. The Chief Inclusion Officer will serve as the Chair of the Council on behalf of the Governor...
[further racialist bullshit ommitted]
As you can see, Walz made this a whole of government approach, and unlike most politicians he has been following through. Racial preferences have expanded into every bit of government. Even when treating a disease like COVID, being "BIPOC" puts you at the front of the line in getting treatment.
