On Friday’s spread of HBO’s” Real Time”, former New York Times , writer and current writer and Mind of Strategy at the Free Press , Nellie Bowles argued that a total reversal of the remaining- wing excesses of 2020 does contain “apologies to the people who got in a lot of trouble when they opposed those MIT DEI statements, come state, or maybe some people may get their jobs back” but that has n’t happened.
Guest Bill Maher said,” ]W] electronic just had the third anniversary of the George Floyd crime, which, naturally changed a lot in this region. The main thing that should always be in the headlines should always be that it was a good thing that more of America became more anxious with racism, that’s the main thing. But, like with everything in America— like with everything, we not only relate, we overreact. And now it seems like some of these things that came out immediately appear to be being reversed. For example, defund the police, that was a big thing, people are n’t doing that anymore. And candidates who are for it are n’t winning. DEI, it seems to have slowed down a little bit, and some individuals claim that we did too much of that. Forcing variety claims, MIT said they’re not going to do that again. That’s where, when you — to get the job, you had to read out, here’s what I would do to help the cause. It’s like, okay, just be a good human being, we do n’t have to get the statement like we’re in the Soviet Union”.
Bowles responded,” I do n’t believe that we’re in a point where this is being walked back or this is being completely reversed until we see maybe like some apologies to the people who got into a lot of trouble when they opposed those MIT DEI statements, let’s say, or maybe some people would get their jobs back, a lot of people lost their jobs in the kind of spasms of cancellations over the last few years.” You do n’t see any of that happening”.
