States push back against Diversity, Equity, Inclusion in universities
The Center Square ^ | 5/31/23 | Casey Harper

A coalition of education experts, governors and lawmakers are pushing back against the "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" policies that have become the norm in public colleges and universities around the country. Several states have legislative efforts underway to require intellectual diversity, and professors tell The Center Square they welcome the change.

Texas is the latest state to take on DEI, a broad category that employs teams of administrators to enforce equity and racial policies at the educational institution.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed legislation this week that would stop taxpayer funding for DEI programs at public colleges and universities.

Critics say these DEI programs have become taxpayer-funded “indoctrination” into ideas pushed by one political party.

Scott Turner, who works with the National Association of Scholars, told The Center Square that “the DEI problem is ultimately political in nature, so the responses must themselves be political.”

Tax-payers should NOT be funding DIE departments in universities. That is leftist indoctrination-support that our tax dollars should not be required to fund.

Diverse does not means sparrows living with robins. It means sharing the world about them....and no more.

State legislators need to step in and do a lot more. This is a first step. Taxpayer dollars should not be spent on any “studies” degree or the courses particular to those majors. Administrators need to be slashed, easily by 75%.

As for administrators at local school districts the same thing should occur. The other day, I had to take a detour and I found myself at a stop sign. Directly across the street was my local school district’s administration building. I never really noticed it before. It was a huge two story building that was nearly half the size of the adjacent middle school. Lazy ass leftists need to be sent to the private sector and get a dose of the real world. I can only imagine the thought of that would scare the hell out of these scumbags.

These “ universities “ are blackmailed into establishing DEI offices. They are told that they won’t be accredited, or given a Phi Beta Kappa chapter unless they comply.

Which students do these WOKE DEI departments target, almost exclusively? Well, it’s not Asian males or females. It’s not Black males or females. It’s not White females.

Let’s see. Who does that leave?

Why, the enemies of the workers, peasants, and proletarians, of course!

I read that during the last fifteen years the "D.I.E" Politic Polezei (former grievance study slugs) have grown to make up a quarter of college/university admin positions. Yet people wonder why tuition keeps soaring while the quality of graduates keeps dropping.

The only thing these people should be doing is fixing the ice cream machine and asking if I want fries with that.

Diversity is sanctioned and mandatory observation of perversity. Inclusion ALWAYS excludes those who espouse moral characteristics of the Bible. Equity demands that the gods of this world are to be elevated ABOVE the God of Creation. DIE. Diversity - except those who believe in morality. Inclusion - except those who believe in morality. Equity - except for those who believe in morality. The blind will never see how this is set up. It is cultural Marxism! Delete God from society and replace it with the gods of this age. Submit to perversity and you will be honored. Buck the system of these fallen gods and you will be destroyed!

That makes sense. They are not qualified for any job in the real world and they don’t have do any real work in the academic world

Does anyone know the racial make up of the DEI administrators at a university? Is it close to the racial make up of the university or are DEI administrators exempt from diversity goals?

No idea. It’s purely about the content of their character.

This is an entire industry created to make money off of fomenting hate and division.
