Trump, meanwhile, has made ending DEI in the United States a key part of his second term, issuing an executive order shortly after he was inaugurated to remove it from public services, universities and beyond. His administration has also taken an aggressive stance against DEI in the courts.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his for-profit companies, Jackson is the founder and CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/gobeyondprofit.org\/who-we-are\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">goBeyondProfit,<\/a> a Georgia nonprofit. The philanthropic venture describes itself as a &#8220;no-cost resource for Georgia business leaders interested in evolving their corporate generosity efforts into a business strategy,&#8221; and adds that Jackson has &#8220;long shared the belief that businesses can and should be a force for good in the world.&#8221; In 2021, goBeyondProfit launched a DEI initiative focused on keeping &#8220;race in mind&#8221; in the workplace, which included a video series for CEOs to learn the &#8220;do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts&#8221; of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). The &#8220;Telly Award-Winning video series&#8221; aimed at helping companies implement DEI initiatives remains active on the nonprofit&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n<p>One of the videos promoted critical race theorist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/founder-boston-universitys-antiracist-research-group-departs-center-prepares-shut-down\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ibram X. Kendi&#8217;s<\/a> book &#8220;How To Be An Anti-Racist,&#8221; which has been characterized by critics as a leading text of modern race-conscious ideology that rejects colorblindness and defends discrimination when used to achieve equity. The initiative also featured experts who argued &#8220;doing nothing&#8221; on DEI was &#8220;cringe worthy&#8221; and framed workplace race issues through slavery and Jim Crow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/gop-governor-hopefuls-pro-trump-pitch-voters-clashes-paper-trail-inside-own-company\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>GOP GUBERNATORIAL HOPEFUL&#8217;S PRO-TRUMP PITCH TO VOTERS CLASHES WITH PAPER TRAIL INSIDE HIS OWN COMPANY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Among those experts was then-Jackson Healthcare DEI executive Matthew Harrison, who, in the DEI initiative&#8217;s videos, touted how the share of &#8220;people of color&#8221; hired into new roles at Jackson Healthcare rose from 9% to 25% after the company implemented the diversity measures discussed in the initiative&#8217;s instructional videos.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson\u2019s business orbit has a history of DEI-friendly messaging and efforts that could complicate one of his central campaign pitches: that he is the candidate best positioned to root out DEI and restore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/pentagon-cites-meritocracy-officer-removals-draw-democratic-criticism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">merit-based policies<\/a> in Georgia. Jackson\u2019s campaign platform says he would prohibit DEI programs in state government, public universities and classrooms, while his campaign messaging has vowed to &#8220;ban DEI insanity&#8221; and &#8220;criminalize reverse discrimination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to ban every bit of idiotic DEI insanity and criminalize reverse discrimination,&#8221; he recently posted on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News Digital reached out to Jackson\u2019s campaign, Jackson Healthcare and goBeyondProfit for comment, including questions about whether Jackson was aware of the &#8220;Race in Mind&#8221; initiative, whether he approved of the DEI materials at the time and how he squared the nonprofit\u2019s past race-focused workplace efforts with his current anti-DEI campaign platform.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rick hires like the Georgia Bulldogs: only the best players hit the field, and he will prohibit reverse discrimination as governor,&#8221; a Jackson campaign spokesperson said in response to Fox News Digital&#8217;s questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The campaign added that &#8220;many of Georgia&#8217;s most successful and conservative business leaders&#8221; have been &#8220;program ambassadors or members&#8221; at goBeyondProfit, citing Chick-fil-A&#8217;s involvement and the involvement of Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus until his death.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, at the height of the social justice movement following the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/george-floyd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Floyd<\/a> and others, Jackson&#8217;s goBeyondProfit launched &#8220;Leading a Thriving Workplace with Race in Mind,&#8221; a DEI initiative that included a &#8220;Telly Award-Winning video series&#8221; aimed at helping CEOs navigate the &#8220;do\u2019s and don\u2019ts&#8221; of DEI and make &#8220;impactful changes&#8221; in their workplaces.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/nearly-all-fortune-500-companies-still-maintain-corporate-dei-commitments-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>NEARLY ALL FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES STILL MAINTAIN CORPORATE DEI COMMITMENTS: REPORT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The goBeyondProfit video series featured DEI experts, including Harrison, a former Jackson Healthcare executive, urging CEOs and their companies to invest in DEI, measure progress, examine racial pay gaps and use race-conscious hiring practices to increase <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/dei\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">workplace diversity.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In one video, Harrison described implementing a &#8220;Rooney Rule&#8221; hiring policy at Jackson Healthcare after he took over talent acquisition in 2019, saying the company increased the share of &#8220;people of color&#8221; hired into new roles from 9% to 25% within a year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Personally here at Jackson Healthcare, I took over leading talent acquisition here in June of 2019 and put that in place, and within a year, we saw our increase in the number of people of color that we hired into new roles. It went from 9% to 25% and that\u2019s the only thing we changed,&#8221; Harrison says.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/how-trump-uprooting-radical-60s-foundations-poisonous-dei-crt-programs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>HOW TRUMP IS UPROOTING RADICAL &#8217;60S FOUNDATIONS OF POISONOUS DEI AND CRT PROGRAMS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A separate speaker from the DEI video series discusses the importance of tying DEI metrics to employee evaluations, encourages &#8220;taking those proactive steps and being anti-racist&#8221; as discussed in Kendi&#8217;s book that CEOs were encouraged to read, implored &#8220;employers do periodic pay equity reviews for their employees,&#8221; and urged executives to financially invest in DEI work, saying companies needed to &#8220;put your money where your mouth is&#8221; on DEI efforts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That same speaker framed workplace race issues through slavery and Jim Crow, saying slavery was &#8220;America\u2019s first race-based economic system&#8221; and arguing that the &#8220;vestiges of slavery&#8221; still live on &#8220;even in the American workplace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oddly, the American workplace is the one place where we should be having more of these conversations, but ironically, it\u2019s the one place where we\u2019re least likely to do,&#8221; Harrison adds in one of the videos. Meanwhile, at another point in one of the videos, Harrison described how Jackson Healthcare started a &#8220;race series&#8221; using an outside vendor in order to prevent it from being viewed as &#8220;this HR mandate&#8221; by employees.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/us-chamber-commerce-accused-leading-woke-corporate-america-trump-dismantles-dei-agenda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>US CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ACCUSED OF LEADING \u2018WOKE CORPORATE AMERICA\u2019 AS TRUMP DISMANTLES DEI AGENDA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A related goBeyondProfit blog post authored by Harrison and the other DEI expert from the video series encouraged executives to take an Implicit Association Test to measure subconscious biases and create a &#8220;Bias Breaker&#8221; list cataloguing their known biases, including those involving &#8220;gender, sexual orientation, race or skin color, weight, age, and the list goes on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This revelation about the DEI past of Jackson&#8217;s companies is not the first time the issue has come to haunt his campaign. Fox News Digital reported in March that Harrison, who wrote his thesis on &#8220;Colorism,&#8221; said during a 2020 podcast interview that Jackson Healthcare and its leaders &#8220;get and see the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in our workforce.&#8221; He even credited Jackson for inspiring &#8220;a learning experience about race during the interview. Meanwhile, Fox News Digital also reported last month that one of Jackson&#8217;s companies focused on healthcare staffing produced numerous materials ridiculing Republicans&#8217; One Big Beautiful Bill Act.<\/p>\n<p>The unearthed DEI efforts come as a brutal Georgia GOP gubernatorial primary nears its conclusion, with the election slated for next Tuesday, followed by the general election in November.<\/p>\n<p>At times, the primary race has centered on which candidate can claim the mantle of President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> fiercest ally. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/burt-jones-campaign-rolls-out-girl-dads-burt-coalition-aiming-preserve-fairness-girls-sports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Georgia Lt.

donating $1 million to Trump&#8217;s MAGA Inc. as he launched his campaign, modeling his campaign launch after Trump with a celebratory elevator descent, and telling local media he can&#8217;t name a single <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/executive\/white-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">White House<\/a> policy from the Trump administration he doesn&#8217;t like.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson has blasted Jones as part of the political establishment, while likening Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, another one of his main primary opponents, to the Biblical character &#8220;Judas&#8221;
