[quote=Anonymous]Leaving the question of Confederate statues aside, Saddam Hussein and Hitler, let us take a look at the actual subject of this thread.

Stone Ridge (currently on a DEI roll for whatever reason), keen to show its families how proactive they are on this, makes a big announcement about TKAM to its MS families.

Decisions on curriculum are made all the time. Textbooks are changed. Topics for study are changed. This is an ordinary thing. The MS English teachers can get together and decide to teach whatever they want. They can make a decision in the best interests of the students based on an objective decision.

I don't think anyone would have an issue with this.

Instead of stopping there the school decided it needed to publicize the decision. There is no need to publicize a decision like this unless you're trying to win DEI points, which then makes one suspect the decision is a cynical one not a pragmatic one.

Come on, SR, I know you're desperately trying to prove to everyone how woke you are, but it doesn't really ring true. Aside from the total lack of diversity in your academic leadership your DEI work consists of bolt-ons. Stuff you got from a website, a book, or a conference.

Real diversity and equity is organic and comes from a healthy culture. You can't impose it by fiat, or even by grandstanding like this. [/quote]
