The University of Kentucky is the latest school to close its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices, joining public colleges in Texas, Florida, and Alabama in eliminating programs that encourage discrimination based on race and sex.

The university has decided to close its DEI office after the state legislature questioned whether the identity-focused programs have hindered discourse on campus, University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto said on Tuesday.

I was on a zoom meeting at work and the VP asked if any of us took any of the " online discussions" meaning DEI struggle sessions to get to know fellow employees better? I said no. I have better things to do than to listen about what a horrible person I am because of skin color. She moved on real fast.

My co-worker, a conservative white male, started library school online. His professor introduced herself as "queer, Black, and disabled." (Pronouns: she/her.)

My co-worker regales me each day with horror stories of the Zoom meetings, which constantly bring up "intersectionality." He has earned a reputation as a troll, constantly interrupting their confessional-like arguments with rebuttals. He even complained to the dean. That went over like a lead balloon.

He just submitted a term paper on servicing "marginalized" communities. I wonder if he'll pass the course.

Beshear’s speech at the convention Monday night was embarrassing. All about babykilling and then he switches on a dime and starts talking about his “Faith” and “the Golden Rule” and the “Good Samaritan”. Just bizarre. They’re so sick that they see abortion as a good thing and those who defend life as evil.

I am betting they have a covert plan for the NEW DEI.

Every organization that ever engaged in DEI should issue a written apology to all of their white students/employees etc. along with a significant refund of tuition or stipend or reparations.

Hate is hate—and they need to pay the price for spewing anti-white hate.
