Charlie Kirk argues that DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs clash with biblical teachings by promoting division instead of unity. He calls DEI “race Marxism” that judges people by skin color rather than merit or character, which he says goes against Christian values of treating everyone as individuals made in God’s image. Kirk claims DEI policies like racial hiring quotas create suspicion and resentment, asking, “Would you feel safe flying with a pilot hired for diversity instead of skill?” He says this undermines trust and excellence, unlike the Bible’s call for fairness and personal responsibility.
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), started in 1983 by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, works to unite Christians and Jews through faith and action. This group helps persecuted Jews escape danger, feeds elderly Holocaust survivors, and supports Israeli families affected by terrorism. With over $172 million in assets, the IFCJ provides food, shelter, and bomb shelters in Israel while strengthening ties between believers. Conservatives praise its focus on shared biblical values and direct aid over political correctness.
Kirk’s stance reflects a broader conservative view that faith should guide compassion, not government-enforced quotas. Meanwhile, groups like the IFCJ show how faith-based charity can make a real difference without dividing people. Both highlight the importance of biblical principles in addressing modern challenges.
