“Equity” as defined by them.
Can’t wait to fly on planes engineered by equity.
.
Or have doctors trained for “equity.”
They can be sued by lawyers trained for "equity."
‘equity’ don’t mean a damn if you cannot do the job!
The devil is clever. Liberals are supremely stupid. Conservatives are lethargic.
All major US airlines have now started equity flight training. The programs are for minorities and females. There are scholarships for some of the costs. The airlines guarantee pilot positions to those that complete all requirements. United just graduated its first class to get their private pilots rating. Now they move on to instrument and commercial ratings.
"Equity is the New Communism — The Left is using equity to seize control over every American institution"
Misguided Biden Administration equity policy is just another politically correct attack on state sovereignty to try to keep desperate Democrats and RIINOs in power imo.
Patriots are reminded that the Supreme Court had clarified in Minor v. Happersett that the 14th Amendment's equal protections clause does not mean that women automatically had suffrage like men do for example.
"14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws [emphases added]."
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnished an additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
It remains that 10th Amendment-based laws can discriminate on the basis of any criterion that the states have not amended the Constitution to expressly protect.
The bottom line is this imo. ALL the states desperately need to put a "permanent" stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, and likewise unconstitutional interference in the affairs of the sovereign states, by effectively "seceding" from the unconstitutionally big federal government.
The states will "secede" from the corrupt feds by repealing the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A).
If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.
If you think this is new, you fell asleep in history class. Equal outcomes, AKA equity, has always been the goal of commie trash.
Always.
That is how they trick the stupid and then identify the ones to slaughter after gaining power.
So if you have to ignore merit and standards and coerce the hiring of women and minorities, then they are saying that women and minorities are by far not as supremey and cannot possibly ever compete on a level playing field. If they were supremier, then people would be falling all over themselves to hire them and would not require coercion.
Brilliant Thomas Sowell.
But, now that they've infiltrated everywhere AND have perfected election-stealing - to include judgships, school boards, city & county councils, etc, - I don't see much to be done about it.
Even in a Mad Max world, after everything has crashed and burned, what remains of so-called civilized institutions will still likely be controlled by the dregs of the current sort of despots and their henchmen.
I welcome being 71 years of age rather than 11.
“Equity” is a euphemism for black.
Just as the Bolsheviks used the peasants for their ends.
DEI (”diversity, equity, and inclusion”) has RUINED American universities!!!!
It has to end, with Harvard leading the way!!! FIRE all DEI administrators and staff, beginning with Harvard’s new bogus president, Claudine Gay!! Bring back merit instead!!!!
DMV is full up.
