Woody White, the former Republican state senator and New Hanover County commissioner left his last elected office in 2020 — but he's remained influential, particularly in conservative circles. Though not for the first time, he recently published a forceful call to end DEI in North Carolina's state university system and other government bodies. However, White has been apparently unwilling to discuss his comments — and few in his spheres of influence seem eager to engage with his critique of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
