Redirect DEI Funds
"So how strange...obscene that America’s professional class largely reacted to the murder of #GeorgeFloyd...not by lavishing resources spent in his name on helping #poor people, or the formerly/currently incarcerated, or people w/ addictions, or the descendants of slaves & sharecroppers, or children of single mothers, or graduates of underfunded high schools, but rather by hiring #DEI consultants to gather employees together for trainings." -#ConorFriedersdorf/#TheAtlantic
"when [NewCollege] hired its first dean of diversity, equity, and inclusion in 2022, it wasn’t surrendering to the woke left. It was responding to an explicit mandate from a DeSantis appointee... a banker appointed by DeSantis led an aggressive top-down push for sweeping new DEI initiatives in all of Florida’s public colleges, compelling every campus, including New College, to put more emphasis on DEI." #ConorFriedersdorf https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/03/new-college-florida-ron-desantis-takeover/673556/ ht @grantimatter
"And this, the willingness to cast the failure of white people to effectively confront and contain the manifestations of violent white supremacy as Black civil rights failure, deserves a strong response." #SherrilynIfill #ConorFriedersdorf #BlackLivesMatter #PoliceViolence #WhiteSupremacy https://sherrilyn.substack.com/p/a-response-to-conor-friedersdorf
