      And the Associated (with Democrats) Press finds conservatives pouncing. Or is is seizing?

      On X, formerly Twitter, he wrote “SCALPED,” as if Gay was a trophy of violence, invoking a gruesome practice taken up by white colonists who sought to eradicate Native Americans.

      Uhm, what?

        Ackman’s tweet is terrifying.

          Yes, it is.

          Wonder if he would take Gay's old job?

            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.

              I might have mentioned before, but when I was doing graduate work at Syracuse University in 2016, I was surprised that "safe spaces" were literally physical locations. Signs in a coffee shop would declare the space "safe space for all" or something... until then I thought it was just a joke/phrase! Of course, I was tempted to test if the space was really safe for "all" or if it was really just a place to be safe from opinions that might hurt your feelings.

                The question that Ackman hints at, in a general way, is this: Would any person with a CV consisting of 11-12 publications be considered qualified to be president of Harvard University, or would a higher academic standard be invoked?

                  I think the publications could be waived for a person of stature.

                  How many pubs does Condi Rice have?

                    Can't find her CV, yet.

                    But Stanford's faculty page lists 5 books.

                        The demarcation between reporting and advocacy has never been perfect, but this is not in the blurry middle ground.

                              Again, all these things DEI are only a search for power and advantage. The proponents offer up a utopia, but what will really result is a bloodbath.

                                I imagine that anybody who works in the DEI division of large corporations, is starting to feel a little nervous about their future.

                                Education is extremely important.
