DEI for Consevatives

Post by deacon blues »

From Atlantic magazine: The Trump administration has demanded that Harvard hire additional conservative professors or risk losing even more of its federal funding. (Even as it made that demand, it insisted that Harvard adopt “merit-based admissions policies and cease all preferences based on race, color, national origin, or proxies thereof.”) In response, Harvard’s president said that the university is expanding programs to increase intellectual diversity on campus. The era of DEI for conservatives has begun. :shock:
So trump is saying DEI for my people, but not dirty rotten liberals? :o
It's getting weird folks. :?
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

I see it as a further step in a fascist takeover of America.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Trump's motto: Let's hire the worst possible.

Pretty sure those ICE people wearing masks are former Proud Boys.
