DEI is on the run
Washington Examiner ^ | 1 Jan 2024 | Ed Board
FR Posted on 1/1/2024, 9:05:31 AM by Rummyfan

Diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, in higher education was deceptively sold as a set of policies designed to promote “the fair treatment and full participation of all people,” particularly groups that “have historically been underrepresented.”

But DEI offices have proved to be epicenters of division and ideological conformity, stirring hostilities and imposing an intolerant monoculture.

Fortunately, 2023 saw more than a dozen states start to take action against the DEI hydra, with six achieving concrete steps that other states should follow.

In Florida, colleges and universities are no longer allowed to allocate any money to DEI programs. Institutions across the state have, in consequence, eliminated DEI jobs, such as chief diversity officers. This is greatly to the good of real education and social cohesion. These officers are often in charge of college “bias response teams” that function as “woke” police on campuses. A Supreme Court case is set to shut many of these programs down, but states can take proactive steps now to solve the problem faster.

Texas passed its law curbing excesses this year, eliminating all DEI office training for staff and, more importantly, eliminating diversity statements in hiring. Universities nationwide use mandatory diversity statements to enforce ideological conformity in disciplines as varied as physics, history, and psychology. Junking these loyalty oaths is a key step to diversifying thought on campuses.

Let's see what college administrators do for a living when attendance collapses.

They could learn from fleas and ticks that it's not a good idea for a parasite to kill its host.

Good article.

Universities like Bates need to have their endowments seized and paid to white men throughout the country as reparations.

How many decades of anti-white hate are enough?

When this picture out of Communist China was first published, Americans were smug.
It can’t happen here. Well, now it is happening here.

It’s called Communism and it’s evil and opposite to everything great about American Liberty.

Social justice warriors are now freely promulgating hate and racism with out any pretense. Should we start calling them Judeophobic or are they just garden variety bigots?

I think the most absurd part of the story is a geology prof getting into it about race relations with a student.

“It’s about the rocks…not the race” is all the professor needed to say. Repeatedly.

Engaging with fools is never a good tactic.

Have you heard of voting with your feet? This refers to relocation within a federal republic such as ours, from failing places to more successful places.

Think of the marketplace as voting with your dollars. Take your money elsewhere. Patronize schools with values you embrace.

The problem with voting with your dollars is that many schools are well-endowed and, so, are largely immunized from tuition, contributions, etc. This endowment issue is even a bigger problem in the mainstream churches that don’t give a hoot about the contributions, or lack of contributions from current members.

So, we need BOTH voting with your dollars AND working from within to take back the schools, churches and charities that we can.

The article is good, except the author takes a stance that this is the exception or perhaps an extreme.

This is a mild account of the the routine experience of instructors and professors in the social sciences and humanities.

In all universities that I know of.

DEI is communism. It descends from Gramsci’s “Crtitical Theory’ head of the Italian Communist Party in 1924. The recent incarnation, revised his work and turned it into “Critical Race Throry’. DEI is their communist rules for destroying Western Culture, in order to to install communism.
