UNC Hosts a Symposium on “Race, Racism, and Racial Equity”

Race has arguably become the single most important defining characteristic of a person in today’s society. Rather than concerning itself with scholarship, character, personality, or work ethic, today’s universities now treat students and faculty as if their race supersedes all of their other qualities.

One example of this is UNC-Chapel Hill’s Race, Racism and Racial Equity (R3) Symposium.

According to the UNC Office for Diversity and Inclusion, the symposium is “a series of virtual events that bring together scholars and researchers from across campus to share their work with Carolina and the broader community.” The events are co-hosted by the University Office for Diversity and Inclusion, the Jordan Institute for Families, and the UNC School of Social Work‘s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The fifth event, hosted virtually in December 2021, detailed research currently being executed at the university about “systems of oppression” in the justice, education and health fields.

Rather than trying to prove that minorities are collectively suffering due to systemic oppression, it is seemingly understood as fact by universities across the country. For them, differences in outcome are proof enough, and many researchers fail to look at any other explanation for varied economic, social, and academic outcomes.

The first section of the talk was delivered by Dr. Ayesha Hashim, an assistant professor of educational policy and leadership at UNC. She spoke about her research into district-level school reform, specifically the effects of the suspensions ban and restorative justice program in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Hashim’s research looked into the suspension bans in K-12 schools and how they, in her view, helped marginalized students.

In LAUSD, schools were prohibited from administering suspensions for willful defiance (non-violent behaviors). Other suspensions had to get approval from the regional offices.

True proof of the total lack of any academic rigor in that joke of a university.

Guess the geography dept thinks that we’re on a Disc World. The physics department has a perpetual energy course. The woke math department where the sum of any two numbers is whatever the most warped LBGTwhatever says it is.

We won’t even talk about the lib arts collection of clowns.

It’s always easier to convince lily white liberals how racist they are when they live in an area relatively devoid of “POC”.

Racial equity...treat everyone exactly the same according to their ATTITUDE and their BEHAVIOR. But wait...there might be divergent outcomes, and that would be RACIST!
