Diversity really means forced conformity of opinion.
Equity means special government privileges for a select few only.
Inclusion means cancelling and banning those who don't agree with the other two.

I’m glad I retired. In the real corporate world, you better have an agenda and bullet points for a meeting. These teachers are not preparing students for the outside world. They are going to fail

And to think that this is just a community college, not a major university.

As a professor friend once quipped, "The reason the infighting is so bad in academia is because the stakes are so low."

That was then--the 90s. Now, some DEI tsars are getting paid to be fascist dictators.

Top DEI staff at public universities pocket massive salaries as experts question motives of initiatives
A review of salary data shows that the universities of Michigan, Maryland, Virginia and Illinois, plus Virginia Tech, boast some of the highest-paid DEI staffers at public universities, a Fox News review found. These institutions' top diversity employees earn salaries ranging from $329,000 to $430,000 – vastly eclipsing the average pay for the schools' full-time tenured professors.

It actually sounds like Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged is coming to pass.

At one time De Anza and Foothill were very good places to get your first two years done at a very inexpensive cost

I imagine she feels a bit like Dr. Frankenstein when his monster got loose and started terrorizing the community. You made the thing, now what are you going to do about it?

“Cultural Revolution, next stop “re-education camps” or ...“

It is the Chinese communist model of the Cultural Revolution.

That is where the term “woke” was coined, for awareness of politically correct thinking, speaking and acting.

Young “Red Guards” energetically cancelled their elders for any slight deviation, in a self-consuming spiral of increasing extremism. The Khmer Rouge modeled their purges on the same inspiration.

Same as the French Revolution, it’s human nature. That’s why anyone who thinks it can’t happen here, is deluding themselves.

All will vanish overnight when the Big War comes. It will be cool with the early victories come Our woke army rides into battle, Pride flags flying in our super tanks. Not so much when they burning hulks. Not so cool when we send up 20 of our F-18’s to support the troops and only two come back. The woke junk will be gone with the first defeat. It will be gone when a sub sinks our super carriers, and they fear to leave port. Even the tin patriotism of Rock stars will not be enough to revive the pride movement. Then the hate and fear of the nation will focus on Biden, Harris, Hillary and the gang. I hope I am wrong.

Except HR depts are going to side with them. Enforcing normal professional standards will be seen as ‘toxic’ and ‘offensive’ as they’re against DEI concepts. Remember, it’s about ‘equality of outcome’, not merit or international competition.

Of course, it is absurd. The whole ‘equality of outcome’ is nothing more than communism wrapped in different clothing. Yes, you will end up with the same ‘equal’ level of living standards, equal misery and poverty. You can either raise all boats through high expectations and competition or lower all boats by limiting everyone by the lowest common denominator.

These people are fools living in an easy age. Do they believe China will follow this garbage? The long term implications are horrifying. It’s really not funny to see them already eating their own, it just tells you how bad it is getting. I know for a fact that I’ve not attained positions due to being a straight white male. Some of the promotions are quietly laughed at. What is ironic is that the liberal white women that have supported all this nonsense are about to be targeted too - just being a woman doesn’t bring enough intersectionality points anymore.

Hail to the disabled black trans-female lesbians!!!

It is ultimately self-defeating. The problem is they’re going to destroy everything in the process and drag us through it too.

One Ayn Rand quote that is applicable here:

“The right to agree with others is not a problem in any society; it is the right to disagree that is crucial.”
