Hopefully, this new law will stop public universities in NC from requesting "diversity" statements from applicants. Hiring committees started requesting them a few years ago and it is the most ridiculous thing I've ever see as a condition of potential employment. Applicants try to outdo each other in virtue signaling their prior work in promoting diversity and mention things such as flying rainbow flags or reading a book by a black author as a reason for their being hired over a more qualified candidate.

My friend’s granddaughter just graduated from West Point.

For some class they had to write essays about their lives and were graded. The grades weren’t based on form or style.

The more pathetic a student’s life was, the higher the grade. If you were down with the struggle, it was good.

She didn’t do well. Super smart girl, BUT she’s white, Protestant, was raised in a middle-class intact family, and there were no divorces ever in the family history. She actually got marked down for those things.

Excellent! Keep shoving them all right down Roy Cooper’s throat. He has held up a lot of good legislation from being passed in this state for years. Seeing the Republicans come back and force feed him every single last bit of it - and make it stick - is a wonderful thing.

Suck it Cooper.

I watched a commentary on why Target and Budweiser can’t make an apology. If they lose their ESG rating, they lose their credit line. They may have more than sufficient money coming in to meet their obligations, but it won’t be available when the obligations are due. This is what the credit line lets them do, pay off the obligations when they’re due. If they don’t pay the obligations, then they’re out of business. This is called “compelled speech.” This doesn’t mean the companies aren’t really woke. It just means they can’t even make an apology to save their company because doing so may cost them the company. Rock...hard place.

hr should stand for Highly Ridicules.

And they need to go back to the original job they did. It's called PAYROLL Department.
