Columnist Says Anti-DEI Backlash is Coming, and Recent Events Show He May Be Right

Radical leftist policies in higher education, inflicted under the guise of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI),” appear to be facing increasing opposition, Daily Signal Columnist Jarrett Stepman says.

In a column published on September 13, Stepman references a report in the New York Times discussing how DEI has become a hiring standard at colleges and universities, notably through diversity statements, as “nearly half the large universities in America require that job applicants write such statements.”

Generally, diversity statements assess the way in which potential hires adhere to DEI talking points. One such example is the diversity viewpoint standards outlined by the University of California Berkeley, in which the highest-scoring candidates are required to have “clear knowledge of, experience with, and interest in dimensions of diversity that result from different identities, such as ethnic, socioeconomic, racial, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and cultural differences.”

Similar DEI-focused hiring standards have also been revealed by the National Opportunity Project to have been implemented in the public school system in various districts across the country.

And this despite efforts to jail and indict them for J6 and similar disruptive terroristic actions like speaking at school board meetings and parent teacher meetings.

DEI = Divisiveness, Elitism and Indoctrination.

Lots of supposed liberty-type intellectuals love to tell us “Woke has peaked” or “China has peaked”, which I think usually means “so we don’t have to fight them”

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is nothing but a bunch of angry people making people angry

It is time to UNIFY this country, not diversify it. A divided house cannot stand.

Stanford University has at least 80 administrators dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. This is about five DEI employees for every 100 faculty members. Nineteen of these administrators work in a central DEI office. The office is led by a Vice Provost for Equity and Inclusion & Chief Diversity Officer. The Chief Diversity Officer is supported by three Assistant Vice Provosts for Equity, Inclusion & Academic Affairs. --Heritage Foundation

Does Stanford University have more administrators than students?

What could TEN THOUSAND Stanford administrators do? "Stanford now has more than 10,000 administrators who oversee the 7,761 undergraduate and 9,565 graduate students—almost enough for each student to have their own personal butler. " thefp.com/p/stanfords-wa…Mar 23, 2023

Sorry. A "backlash" isn't going to work. We're not talking about gramma's version of liberalism. And the democRAT party died long ago.

What has seized control of America is something never seen before, viz. Satanic anti human destruction.

"Liberals" think they want it, but they're too stupid that they are included in Satan's plan to destroy mankind. And liberals/communists will be fed into the chipper along with everybody else. Remember, the Billionaire Elites are going to reduce the world's population to under 1 billion.

Hmm. So if I apply for a university position, I wonder if they would accept my essay on why genetic diversity is important and inbreeding has such bad outcomes?

They don’t really support diversity. All they want are people that look different on the surface but who all think the same thoughts and share the same ideology. This isn’t diversity. It is the intellectual equivalent of inbreeding.

Taxpayers need en masse to refuse to pay property taxes until school districts get back to an EDUCATION MISSION. Or maybe better to sue school districts and school boards. The pathetic reading, math, and writing test scores prOve schools are NOT ON MISSION.

“”Liberals” think they want it, but they’re too stupid that they are included in Satan’s plan to destroy mankind.”

No truer statement could be made. They have NO clue that they are one the same boat as I(we) are and as soon as a small cabal or elitist take over they won’t be crap.

“Taxpayers need en masse to refuse to pay property taxes...”

I have thought for a long time the economy and taxes will be the weapon of choice in the current Civil War. I think we’re inching closer to a taxpayer strike each day.

Of course it can’t go on forever, but the big question is how much destruction will they cause on the way down.

Eh, excessive admin costs are probably only a doubling of tuition. All the 'free' money FedGov hands out through loans and financial aid that anyone can qualify for are why tuition is hitting 5x or 10x what it should be.
