Critiquing DEI undermines the assimilation and retention of diverse educators in academic institutions. This dis-favorable trend generates an adverse atmosphere that can discourage the involvement or persistence of educators from different backgrounds in the field. ERR reminds leadership in schools that the unwelcoming tendencies and refusal to accept diversity adversely influence educator salaries and their job satisfaction (Garcia & Thompson, 2022). In most cases, teachers from marginalized demographics want to work in places where they are respected and valued. Problems start when the decision to implement DEI is disregarded or dismissed. Teachers from minority groups can potentially feel less important, leading to the retention of diverse educators, reinforcing lack of the role of models in students of color's lives, and widening the workforce shortage (Lopez & Williams, 2023).

Additionally, scrutinizing ERR signals to future candidates the need to view the school as fair, accessible, and diverse. This can enable divergent workers to achieve inclusivity and counteract the external pressure to conform. Thus, repressing critiques and voicing genuine concerns will undermine the diversity assimilation and retention agenda and, to some extent, favor justice and equity. Fostering a good school climate is also a successful technique to ensure that educators are retained. Workplace bullying and a lack of tolerance for differing views stuns the morale and effectiveness of educators. This leads them to collaborate less, fearing that they will be criticized, which will eventually compromise the quality of education in the institution. School leadership needs to demonstrate commitment to DEI and inclusive professional growth by creating and implementing non-discrimination expectations. It is important to protect educators willing to take part in matters of public concern, including offering two to four hours for teachers to attend classroom interventions and demonstrate their educators in action.

Creating favorable learning conditions will deter future public debates that will affect educators' willingness to embrace change positively, thus, developing culturally responsive teaching. In conclusion, maintaining a positive working environment through inclusive measures is ideal for retaining educators and empowering them to contribute to the greater population's wellness.
