The statement 'This is worse than just wasteful' is part of a public discourse as it engages with a public issue concerning government spending on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives in education. The tone suggests a critical stance towards the allocation of funds, implying that the spending is not only wasteful but also harmful in some way. The intent appears to be to provoke a discussion or critique of the Department of Education's funding decisions.
