    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          I wonder how much truth there is to Obama stepping up to support her, and I wonder how much clout he has.

          I would google it, but I don't really want to google "obama gay".

                  By the way, the Harvard Corporation statement at least mentions her transgressions. Not with specifics but it at least mentions that there were some.

                    And though she has resigned as president, she still keeps her job at Harvard as a (cough) "scholar."

                    The salary is about $900K, which is more than I made in 7 months.

                        I thought that was from the Bee when I read it.

                              Gee, don't you imagine the Columbia President is counting her blessings about a scheduling conflict right now. That was supposed to be the fourth witness at the hearing.

                                          What I learned, however, was that DEI was not about diversity in its purest form, but rather DEI was a political advocacy movement on behalf of certain groups that are deemed oppressed under DEI’s own methodology.

                                          Under DEI, one’s degree of oppression is determined based upon where one resides on a so-called intersectional pyramid of oppression where whites, Jews, and Asians are deemed oppressors, and a subset of people of color, LGBTQ people, and/or women are deemed to be oppressed. Under this ideology which is the philosophical underpinning of DEI as advanced by Ibram X. Kendi and others, one is either an anti-racist or a racist. There is no such thing as being “not racist.”

                                          Well summarized.
