Hot on the heels of the news that Clemson University is spending more than $25,000 on “diversity education” for faculty members, administrators have revealed a mandatory diversity course for new students.

Chief Diversity Officer Lee Gill made the announcement in an email to students addressing the “efforts to create an even more welcoming and inclusive environment” promised by President James Clements.

You might not be interested in Diversity but Diversity is interested in you.

Whites are bad.
Whites are evil.
Whites are racist.

There - I just saved you 25k.

Diversity is at best an empirical value. It is not a virtue.

If I was transported back and my knowledge of today I would as soon as the instructor introduced itself ask:

“Can you please cite one widely-publish study that links any positive outcome from diversity for its own sake? Please do not include anecdotes about teams seeming to work better together.”

Just one more thing trying to make white people feel even more guilty for being white.

Hell, we are paying through the nose for welfare. Now we gotta hear them all complain about how insensitive we are to their plights.

I am genetically Slavic. The root word that defines me is SLAVE.

Where the hell are MY reparations?

Clemson is a State university. Does this mean that the State government approves of this?

Pushing whites into a minority will then produce a white minority which will require universities to have white diversity classes to bring back white diversity that was made diverse by these diversity classes teaching diversity.

freedumb2003 you are my kind of HERETICK. And all along I though SC was a place of Conservative order and propriety. (Then again Linseed Graham continues to be re-elected) So, I could be deceived.

Clemson has a race-baiting Diversity Czar who pulls down $185k. He has to have something to do. What our side can do is expose exactly what this Czar will be teaching.

Excellent!
I’ve already got my term paper done.
(if the author doesn’t mind if I plagiarize)

Lord knows the Prof will never have seen it!

>http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2014/07/diversity-destruction.html<

...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one’s own family. 

Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.

Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse. 
Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse. 
And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday’s Diversity is today’s intolerable lack of Diversity.

Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.

Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.

The word “Slavic” is derived from the Slovene root “Slava” meaning “Glory” or “Celebration.”

It has nothing to do with slavery which comes from the roots “Rob” or in Russian “Rabski.”

Sadly, it won’t work that way. Long before we are a true minority (not the mythical <50% where liberals claim that we will no longer be the majority), the Millennials and their children will effectively sell the white race into bondage.

Stupids compliance classes are part of life, they might as well get used to it now. I just had to go through our annual save of BS mouse clickers. They added HIPAA this year, 15 years I’ve been with this company and I count the number of times I’ve had anybody’s medical data at hand on zero finger, but I still had to take HIPAA training. Dumb training is just life.

Others critiqued Chief Diversity Officer Gill’s $185,850 per year salary, such as Abir Mandal, a PhD candidate in Economics.

“The Chief Diversity Officer makes more than many of our professors who actually studied something valuable,” Mandal observed. “Now there seems to be an option to contribute to the tree of victimology and earn an above market premium.”

That'll get you a sternly-worded letter to your department chair, although it's perfectly correct. So why would anyone pursue a degree in Grievance Studies? This is why.
