It is long past time for a separation of STEM faculties from the rest in ALL of our universities.
I am sick and tired of the terms “academic” and “professor” being applied to the ill educated and obviously low achievement idiots currently infesting the marshmallow major departments in the vast majority of our universities.
I’d like to see the full text of these “diversity statements” to know whether prospective teachers or students are required to express SUPPORT for LGBTQ issues, as opposed to merely agreeing not to discriminate against various classes of people. If so, it amounts to an unconstitutional religious test.
Diversity statements are closer to the requirement for any middle class or higher position in the Soviet Union to be politically correct, take constant political education/indoctrination classes and be supervised by political officers/checkists whose job was to make sure everyone was in absolute agreement with approved truths.
It is a manifestation of the communitarian principles in social justice that you aren’t individuals but merely part of a group, group struggles in place of class struggles.
