Easiest way ever to meet diversity quotas for both women and URMs. Two birds with one stone.

Like the Harvard presidency?

So true. 2020 is so in the rear-view mirror. Covid and SJWs.

"The County Council of Montgomery County, Maryland is seeking a highly skilled leader of people, organizations, and systems to serve as its next Executive Director. Top candidates must be exceptional communicators and relationship builders, grounded in deep emotional intelligence. They will bring demonstrated experience leading talented and diverse teams, managing large and complex budgets, and advancing racial equity and social justice. They will have a proven ability to lead by example with humility, transparency, and the highest ethical standards. Experience in Montgomery County or county government is not required, however an eagerness and capacity to learn quickly is necessary to thrive in our dynamic work environment."

If you object to this, that says a lot about you.

"Social justice is justice in relation to a fair balance in the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society where individuals' rights are recognized and protected." So Marxism. Got it.

“Social justice” = what’s yours should be mine. For free.

All people. But the law should be focused on equality before the law and equality of opportunity, but not equality of outcomes. Or on “equity” — whatever that’s supposed to mean.

Racial equity requires racial discrimination. If you support this, you are a racist.

If we do that, how will white progressives virtue signal to each other?

It's really time to drop all this DEI bullshit.

I think the council should be concerned with racial equity but the problem is a lot of the discourse on racial equity out there is pretty dumb and the DEI consultants don't like to be questioned so there is a lot of BS.

Equity requires discrimination. It's terrible.

The left wing parties of all other nations are not like this. They push for affordable healthcare and work with unions to get more sicks days for employees, that sort of thing. No one except the American Left is so obsessed with "equity" and race, when the problems are so obviously economic, first and foremost. Poverty and race issues overlap, but are not the same problems. There is no way to actively put a thumb on the scale for certain ethnicities or races without being unfair to all the others.

Sorry, but this really annoys me.

+1 This shift basically from public economics and economic development to policing peoples’ feelings is so weak it’s hard to know where to start.

Whoever wrote the job description, likely the headhunter, is ridiculous.

Eh I think the council has plenty of women both on the council itself and on the staff.

In terms of who would take over, that's a tough question. I suspect the person most likely to get that job happens to be a white man. Second most likely is a white woman. Third most likely could be a black woman, but I would be really surprised if that person wants it and if the council chose that person. The director is a really important job but is not as visible as some other positions. I don't think the council will focus on this.

Unfortunately the council's staff has historically been very white. There are more BIPOC staff now but they are not senior level and council seems to have trouble retaining staff of color.

Are black people URM in MOCO? Or MCPS?
