Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are essential to fostering a positive work culture. Through exposure to diverse perspectives, you can improve employee morale, promote business ethics, and drive creative problem-solving and innovation.

Imagine there’s no college
You’re never late for school
No spell upon you
You’re just another guy

Imagine all the snowflakes
Praying for some shade...

Foo-oo, oo-ools

Fools may pay tuition
But they’ll never foot the bill

They hoped that dope would kill us
And the world would come undone

Imagine no tuition
I wonder how they can

Nothing to learn or work for
A victimhood of man

Imagine no tuition
Never have to pay...

Hooray-ay-ay!

Wow...that’s a lot of horsecrap in that one quote.

The idea is to pull together towards a goal set by the company owner...not not endure the distracting agendas of people hired to work.

“Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are essential to fostering a positive work culture. “

The idea is racist. It assumes, in grave error, a conformity and uniformity of values and “perspective” from persons of the same racial/ethnic demographic and it presumes, in grave error, they cannot have the same values and “perspectives” of persons of a different racial/ethnic demographic. It says you are who you are by what (race/ethnic group) you look like, not by your own independent ideas and beliefs.

DEI is racist, period.

The Black chief diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) officer of Columbia University’s medical school, Alade McKen, plagiarized extensively in his doctoral dissertation, lifting entire pages of material, without attribution, from sources that include Wikipedia, according to a complaint submitted to the university on Wednesday.

The allegations implicate approximately a fifth of McKen’s 163-page dissertation, “’UBUNTU’ I am because we are: A case study examining the experiences of an African-centered Rites of Passage program within a community-based organization,” submitted to Iowa State University’s School of Education in 2021. More than two of those pages are a near-verbatim facsimile of Wikipedia’s entry on “Afrocentric education,” which is not cited anywhere in the dissertation. ...

Other pages lift paragraphs from well-known African scholars, including the University of Rwanda’s Chika Ezeanya-Esiobu, while making small tweaks to their prose, such as reordering certain clauses or changing a “were” to a “was.” ...

Some of the scholars McKen allegedly plagiarized appear in the dissertation’s bibliography but not in in-text citations. Others, like Ezeanya-Esiobu, an expert on “indigenous knowledge” who has worked with numerous international agencies, including the World Bank, aren’t cited at all. ...

Vote-obsessed Biden appointed Lisa DeNell Cook a Black Federal Reserve Board member
<>another horrendous DEI case
<> DeNell Cook’s entire academic career was found to be fraudulent.
<>she faked research data,
<>she’s another plagiarist,
<>she lied on her resume.

Lisa DeNell Cook is in charge of our monetary policy.

I forget where I first heard this, long ago, but it sure proves true today:

Diversity is an obstacle to overcome, not a goal to be achieved.

I forget where I first heard this, long ago, but it sure proves true today: "Diversity is an obstacle to overcome, not a goal to be achieved".

If it wasn't Martin Luther King, close enough. We should be judged by our qualities and not on skin tone or where we rate on their ever-changing "scale of victimhood".
