"compelling and substantial interest in pursuing and attaining the educational benefits of diversity."

I am now just an aging boomer who is now retired, so maybe my mind is slipping a bit, but I have always heard that "diversity is a strength" "diversity is a core value" etc., etc., etc.

Diversity in everything except for thought....

But in all the compliance training sessions I've had to endure during my 40+ years of work, nobody has explained to be what makes it so "compelling and substantial".

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem if the most qualified person is another skin color than me, comes from a different part of the world than me, has different reproductive organs than me, etc.

But equality has never been the objective.

Some nebulous quality of "equity" (where either the outcome is the same, or, if different, I come out on the losing end)...and nobody's ever been able to explain how that is beneficial. Maybe I slept through that part of the annual compliance brainwashing session each and every year.

The only benefit is that the otherwise incompetent don’t riot because they get the same compensation as the competent.

Just Orwellian word salad.
