Diversity Thursday
equality is the hardest easy concept to understand
We should savor the victories when they come our way. Elections matter, and the average American does not want to have sectarianism, division, and hate injected in to their children using their money.
As we've said here for 18-years, those promoting division based on race, creed, color, and other immutable characteristics have no place in a diverse 21st Century Republic.
Elections mean things because for some reason, it can be hard to find leaders with the moral courage to do the right thing.
Governor DeSantis on Tuesday announced a legislative proposal to eliminate programs, courses, and bureaucracies dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and critical race theory (CRT) at public Florida universities on the grounds that taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to subsidize harmful, divisive ideologies.
“We are going to eliminate all DEI and CRT bureaucracies in the state of Florida. No funding, and that will wither on the vine,” he said at a press conference. The removal of such departments, he suggested, will serve as an “ideological filter” and “political filter” for the schools.
The proposed legislation would prohibit DEI spending in state university budgets, which would effectively starve DEI departments of resources, giving them no choice but to discontinue classes and fire administrators.
If you are a regular here, you know we've documented the bloat, growth, and expansion of the Navy's branch of the diversity industry - especially at our educational institutions in detail.
One day, hopefully soon, someone like Governor DeSantis - perhaps DeSantis - will be elected as President and will do at the federal level what we are not doing in Florida.
The amount of wasted time, wasted resources, and empty hours listening to tenured radicals tell service members - most born in the 21st Century, that they should first and foremost see each other by the most artificial characteristics and then use that difference to position for advantage, conflict, and disorder firmly stuck in aspic from the perspective of the early 1970s..
Take a moment to listen. Good stuff.
Take the "W."
Remember, there is nothing stopping every (R) governor from doing this in their state but moral courage.
There is also nothing from stopping a (R) President - the Commander in Chief - from ordering his military to do the same, as it should.
That is terrific! Congratulations!
The US is a global financial empire abroad and an oligarchy at home, not a republic. DIE is how that imperial government promulgates divide and rule, and DeSantis’ pushback on it is righteous but doesn’t go far enough. ‘Immutable characteristics’ are the central driver of everything from intelligence to criminality to social trust, and the attempt to ignore them has failed and will continue to fail.
