"The Education Department warned schools in a letter on Friday that they risked losing federal funding if they continued to take race into account when making scholarship or hiring decisions, or so much as nodded to race in “all other aspects of student, academic and campus life.”

I don't even know where to begin...I feel like I'm in that Harry Potter movie where the Ministry of Magic keeps issuing inane decrees[/quote]

Give me one example of schools using race as a factor when hiring someone or extending a scholarship to someone. Crickets.... schools are one place where racism isn't a factor. School age children haven't yet learned how to be racist at an early age. Perhaps us adults could learn something from our young children.[/quote]

Montgomery county uses 4 criteria when analyzing school zone boundaries. The primary one is diversity.[/quote]

Bologna! [/quote]

“ Our Board Policy, FAA, Educational Facilities Planning, identifies four main factors for consideration when establishing and making changes to school boundaries. These include:

Demographic characteristics of student population
Geography
Stability of school assignments over time
Facility utilization”

Drawing up school boundaries doesn't include or exclude certain children from going to public school based on race. It simply determines WHERE they go to school. No child is being denied public school due to the color of their skin and [b]no one is getting hired or fired because of their skin color[/b] and those things are relevant to this topic. [/quote]

What about those tens of thousands of six-figure DEI management and school admin jobs that literally popped up overnight during covid? They seemed to be pretty much AA exclusive positions. And since many of these jobs never existed before, what was the relevant work experience needed to qualify for the position?[/quote]

Education experience, leading a team, administration and project management. DUh. And I think you are making stuff up about these jobs being given mostly to black people, but even so, maybe it's because they have more experience fighting for inclusion and representation than say, I don't know, YOU?
[/quote]

You're kidding, right? These jobs literally have some combination of D, E, and I in the job title and they were/are almost exclusively occupied by AA, with a handful of Hispanics, and pretty much no Asians. Literally go to any corporation's website or school district, if not individual school. If you don't believe me, type in Google, "VP of Inclusion" or "Chief Diversity Officer" + "[fill in the blank corporation or school]" and see for yourself. [/quote]

Lol... there are no jobs that were created out of thin air titled "VP of Inclusion" or "Chief Diversity Officer". Turn off your fake news channel and stop spreading lies. [/quote]

Are people really this stupid or ignorant? These jobs demanded no real qualifications and were singularly focused but had no direction. Only six-figure salaries for token AA executive positions.

"In 2020, amidst the Black Lives Matter movement, many corporate leaders announced new commitments to diversity. Some called this time 'the diversity tipping point' and CDO roles became one of the hottest jobs in the marketplace."

"The rate of new CDO hires in 2021 was nearly triple the rate of hires in the previous 16 months. In fact, among Fortune 500 companies, 53 percent now have a CDO or equivalent role and more than 60 have since May 2020 appointed their first-ever diversity leader."

"A new report from The Wall Street Journal reveals that in 2018, “less than half the companies in the S&P 500 employed someone” in the CDO role, but by 2022 — in the wake of the BLM movement — nearly 75% of S&P 500 companies had that role. Since then, companies have experienced a 40% turnover, and job seekers are reportedly “skittish” about taking on a role that focuses squarely on diversity."[/quote]

Nothing wrong with a business entity seeking to maintain a diverse workforce as long as they aren't hiring less qualified applicants over more qualified applicants based on race or gender. [/quote]

The majority of less-qualified hires are White. That has always been true. [/quote]

Link please [/quote]

Don’t need a link. Ask any woman who has had to carry a department while her idiot white male peers cozy up to the VPs and get bonuses and promotions for slapping their name on her work. [/quote]

I see opposite these days and I am a minority. [/quote]

Where.  I never see unqualified minority women be in charge while other people carry her department.[/quote]
