Sounds sort of crass, doesn’t it? Diversity, Equity and Inclusion? What could be wrong with such a mantra? Wouldn’t we want everyone to be included in opportunity?
My answer is simple: Thanks to left-wing educators like Randi Weingarten, DEI takes precedent over such things as training, experience and knowledge. It must be considered first. Example: we all recall the potential Supreme Court justice who could not define the word “woman”. It was far more important that she was female and black than whether she was competent and unbiased.
Our current education policies are destroying this country. “Readin, Riten and Rithamtic “ are no longer taught. What matters now are gender affirmation and socialist lunacy. If you were to ask the average high school graduate to name the three branches of federal government, you would get a blank stare. Only thirty percent of those entering college can read at adult level according to statistics I’ve obtained. And cursive writing? What is that?
Someone far more intelligent than I once said, “Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.” A knowledge of the past prevents future mistakes. That’s why we older folks know socialism has never worked. Why isn’t the current high schooler being taught that? Instead, they are taught that socialism is the answer to all of the woes of society.
As I’ve indicated previously, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are neither equitable nor inclusive. Many are excluded simply because they don’t qualify to be included. Does that make sense? If so, I’m far too old!
