As parting shots go, it packed quite a punch. But then it had been coming for some time.
In an open letter announcing his resignation from Portland State University in Oregon, assistant philosophy professor Peter Boghossian condemned his former employer as a “social justice factory, whose only inputs were race, gender and victimhood and whose only outputs were grievance and division”.
What had once been a bastion of free inquiry was gripped by “a culture of offense where students are too afraid to speak openly and honestly”.
His broadside echoed right across the United States. […]
Today, most US universities have entire departments headed by members of the equality “police”. It recently emerged, for example, that Michigan University has a total of 82 “diversity officers” with a combined annual salary of more than £7.5 million.
Top speakers like Dr. Bernice King, daughter of Civil Rights campaigner Dr. Martin Luther King, or Robin DiAngelo, author of the bestseller White Fragility, can charge up to £20,000 per campus speech.
One professor told The Mail on Sunday that one of the most prestigious universities in Los Angeles now forces professors to undergo compulsory two-hour “diversity training” sessions each week, overseen by a consultancy that charges a reported £250,000 a year.
Never mind that one conclusion of the drive for justice is the very thing America fears most: the return of segregation and the growing racial divisions that implies. Last week, Western Washington University announced “black only” housing as part of its diversity and inclusion program. …

So that’s how dimocrats want to treat blacks. It’s really obvious to most people.
Will take decades now that the 0bama/Biden/Pelosi/Soros/ have sent them back to slavery days and they don’t even recognize it. Democrats still own the blacks.
Wish they would wake up but looks like it’s never going to get better. We were almost there, then along came the devil’s advocates.
It’s been a common joke for years here on FR about how all those people with degrees in “Ethnic Studies” or whatever would end up working at Starbucks for $10/hr. It seems maybe we were wrong. There does seem to be ‘gainful’ employment opportunities opening up out there for them. In the same way that lawyers create their own need, maybe these people are just doing good marketing and job creation for themselves.
They are hiring Political Officers.
Remember when we used to make fun of the Soviet Union for that?

Should we be tolerating that. At this point, the only option left is secession.
The left doesn’t want to coexist. After states secede, they’ll be plotting war.
Well, white masters were against educating slaves so why would the Democrats want them to get an education now. It is just a scam to move the chess pieces and take over cities.
Defund the universities enough to end this divisive political system.
Then Obama was elected.
Lepton’s post immediately after yours puts it more succinctly.
Political Officers to insure “RightThink”. All the outrage over the costs of higher education can be addressed right there with firing these useless parasites. Then on to eliminate all “Studies” that waste money on future fast-food employees.
“Diversity” is hate.
