Read "The End of Race Politics" by Coleman Hughes. It's hard to support the continuation of DEI bureaucracy when grappling honestly with his arguments.

You should be anti-racist. Like why is this so bothersome to you?


Because the goal post keeps moving. And I disagree that I should devote all my time thought and action to being anti racist, which is what it actually means, along with constant examination and active intervention of self and others on race. There are a lot of issues I can take an active stance on, like anti poverty, or anti elder abuse. I would like to choose when and where to devote my efforts without recrimination. I am not Mother Theresa and also have a life to live. So I don't agree that I should be anti racist or am somehow failing in the full meaning of that word. Not being racist suffices for most people most of the time.


Nobody is asking you to devote all your time. Stop being so dramatical.

When you go to a DEI training they do ask you to devote all your time. You do not know what anti racist as contrasted with not racist means. Look it up. You are clearly not anti racist.

Same! Nothing will drive you away from crazy liberal ideology than spending time on DCUM

Me too! I had a negative view of DEI before, but had no idea how toxic it really is. More convinced now that DEI is on its way out.


A “negative view” of DEI? Yikes.


You sound triggered.

And I don't think you know what "anti-racist" means, doubt you comply to this "should" yourself. Or even aspire.

, you know, bcs “all men are created equal” is not inclusive. You can’t make this stuff up it’s so ridiculous.


What % of the population did "all men" actually include in 1776?

Sounds like a great exercise to put founding documents into context.

Nobody is calling anybody racist. However, everyone that is racist is definitely anti-DEBI for a lot is the same reasons people are throwing out here.

If you’re actually being called a racist it’s probably for a valid reason…


That's just what the grifters tell themselves to keep the grift going. Seems like some people will need some job training soon once the funding for this garbage dries up. A lot of DEI officers have already lost their jobs. The writing is on the wall.


I’m a parent of kids in private school. I’m glad our communities are getting a healthy dose of DEI. Private school parents probably need it more than anyone else. Just look at this thread.

How very fascist of you to dictate what the majority needs if they don't want it.


I'm not dictating anything. I just said I'm glad this is happening in our communities of extreme privilege. We should all teach our kids how incredibly fortunate they are and to be aware/sensitive that 99% of the world isn't so lucky.

The parents may need it. But the way to get to them isn't by indoctrinating and brainwashing their kids.


Supporting DEI efforts is as much "indoctrinating and brainwashing" as anything else they teach.
