Those three words make me (and most normal people) tune out immediately.

Please define “normal people”, and if you can, try to not say something circular that boils down to “people that feel the same way I do.”

Normal people = people who don't want to hurt any particular group, but have little interest in some equity ideology without any clear end goal (most people)

What makes you think that is “most people”!
Also, can you please give an example of a social movement without a clear end goal? What are your thoughts on the civil rights movement of the 1960’s?

DP. What - exactly - is the "end goal" of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives? Besides dividing people into groups and pitting them against one another, of course.

dp here, a goal of the civil rights movement was ending segregation. once achieved, MLK moved onto to economic issues in Chicago, which did not get as much traction.

RE: What makes you think that is “most people”!

Probably most independents, which will determine who wins in 2022/2024

The end goal is increased diversity, equity, and inclusion. Ideally until those concepts are no longer relevant.

As an analogy, I think of the women’s movement. Same thing. (Quite literally, b/c gender is included in DE&I)

FCPS actually hired people whose job descriptions are as follows:

"The chief equity officer supports and leads efforts by FCPS to align actions around the shared value of equity by expanding perspectives, creating the space for courageous conversations, leveraging and building upon strengths, helping all staff to understand the difference between symptoms and root causes, challenging the status quo, clarifying and focusing attention on core purpose, and ensuring that FCPS does all that it can to unlock the potential of each student."

Just a bunch of words that say absolutely nothing.

How about just hiring more teachers to reduce class sizes in order to "unlock the potential of each student"???
But I suppose then they wouldn't be able to say they have a "chief equity officer" and that sound so much more important, right?

Hate to admit it, but I genuinely can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or mocking.

But to be clear: Yes, the goal of DE&I is DE&I.

I think that's the problem: There is no clear end goal; DE&I is self-perpetuating without a clear end-goal except allocating more money for DE&I initiatives.

I think OP is pointing out how your argument is a tautological albeit it in a passive-aggressive way.

Three questions:

1. How did linking to that website illustrate the tautological point?
2. Are diversity equity and inclusion not concrete enough to not be tautological? If not, are there any ideological or ideal based goals that are not tautological?
3. How am I passive-aggressive?

dp

1. How did linking to that website illustrate the tautological point? [/b] It's defining features of your posts
2. Are diversity equity and inclusion not concrete enough to not be tautological? If not, are there any ideological or ideal based goals that are not tautological? You said the same thing twice in a different way - "end goal of DE&I is DE&I".
3. How am I passive-aggressive? I think OP was talking about the link posters, not you.[b]
