Diversity, equity and inclusion policies and practices are in the crosshairs of ideologically disparate public interest law groups, showing the campaign against institutionalized race essentialism and "neoracism" has legs beyond the political right.
The Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism, cofounded by black intellectuals including "Woke Racism" author and Columbia University linguist John McWhorter, is representing Tabia Lee, tenure-track faculty director of the Office of Equity, Social Justice, and Multicultural Education at Silicon Valley's De Anza College.
The college declined to renew Lee's contract due to her advocacy of "multiple approaches in performing anti-racism work" and refusing to coddle a Black Lives Matter founder, among other violations of the "critical social justice orthodoxy at De Anza," Lee, who is black, wrote in a statement.
Neither the job description nor the hiring process mentioned "working only under certain ideological frameworks for anti-racism," she wrote in an email. "I have not ruled out a lawsuit." FAIR staff attorney Leigh Ann O'Neill said Lee would have a "very strong" case.
The Legal Insurrection Foundation, the nonprofit research arm of Cornell law professor William Jacobson's conservative website, recently launched the Equal Protection Project to handle its DEI-related advocacy and litigation, including a suit against a Rhode Island school district's racially exclusive loan forgiveness program.
Jacobson told Just the News the project "is a way to focus our actions moving forward and to generate tips and new cases (which are already coming in but not filed yet since we just launched)." Its litigation director Ameer Benno is a former Manhattan assistant district attorney.

Tabia Lee was on the Tucker Carlson show last last night complaining about her contract not being renewed at a college because she didn't fall in line with the college's views. Seriously, lady? You get a make-believe degree in Diversity, and a make-believe job as "Director of the Office of Equity, Social Justice, and Multicultural Education", in the woke capital of America...and you can't believe the wokesters at the college are making up new rules as they go along? Sheesh.
Millions of blacks voting for Trump in 2024,must have white scum dems in a panic....

Ironic that dei is a Latin word for God. These people are worshipping an idol rather than the real God.
