In academic institutions,” We have a system now that’s broken” , , said , Rep. Burgess Owens, R- Utah, in a Fox News interview. ” On these schools, we have an bad being taught. … It’s a disease. It’s called DEI”.
The acronym stands for diversity, capital, and participation. Owens described La as a” Communist- based ideology , that]believes ] there is an oppressor contest and an subjugated competition”.
And he made sure to point out that white people and Immigrants are the rulers, according to the Left.
Last month, a Harvard law professor , wrote , a row for the school’s report, The Harvard Crimson, expressing his strong opposition to DEI.
Randall L. Kennedy, the Michael R. Klein professor at Harvard Law School, argued that” the process of demanding]DEI] ought to be abandoned, both at Harvard and beyond”. ” I am a researcher on the left who is committed to fights for social righteousness,” Kennedy added. The challenges surrounding compulsory La statements, however, create me wince”.
That allure appears to have fallen flat on deaf ears. Harvard appears to be stuck in its individuality elections, despite the professor’s requests.
For example, the Ivy League university is set to move ahead with segregated initiation ceremonies , called “affinity activities”. National Review , reported:” Harvard plans to keep a’ Disability Celebration,’ a’ Global Indigenous Celebration,’ an’ Eastern American, Pacific Islander, Desi- National ( APIDA ) Celebration,’ a’ First Generation- Low Income Celebration,’ a’ Israeli Celebration,’ a’ Latinx Celebration,’ a’ Lavender Celebration’—which refers to Gay students —a ‘ Black Celebration,’ a’ Veterans Celebration,’ and an’ Muslim Celebration.'”
Importantly, Harvard only lately added its Jewish student people to this checklist soon after being , called out , for the mistake by Manhattan Institute’s Christopher Rufo. Another study that was made was that there is no such distinct festive ceremony at Harvard for white students.
” Harvard DEI is simply out of control,” said Divinity School scholar Shabbos Kestenbaum. He explained that Harvard not only fails to recognize” the dangerous ways in which Harvard DEI has contributed” to problems such as college hatred, but “further marginalizes people into groups of race, nationality, and faith”.
Rep. Virginia Foxx, R- N. C., president of the Education and Workforce Committee, agreed.
” Graduation ceremonies may join kids”, Foxx said. Harvard, according to the statement, “is otherwise dividing its student body even further by delving into extreme DEI ideologies and identity politics.”
The older brother for biblical view and proper engagement, Joseph Backholm, the head of the Family Research Council, stated to The Washington Stand:” These decisions are rooted in a social evaluation that is focused not on what someone does but on who they are.
According to Backholm,” Racial discrimination is n’t always wrong; it just depends on who is doing it and why,” according to DEI. If it’s done by the oppressed to the oppressors, then it’s good. If it’s being done by the oppressors to the oppressed, then it’s bad”.
He continued,” It’s the same moral reasoning that Hamas uses to justify mass murder and rape.” Because they’re identified by the Left as the ‘ oppressed,’ their wicked behavior is sanitized as ‘ resistance.'”
What it boils down to, according to Backholm, is that identity politics “achieves our ability to perform basic moral reasoning by requiring us to prioritize trivial things like sex and ethnicity over meaningful things like character and competency.”
The Washington Stand was the publication that was first.
