America’s campuses, particularly those in California, spend tens of millions of dollars on administrators and programs to combat issues like sexism, homophobia, and racism on campus. But are these problems in any way prevalent at our universities? Or is this diversity bureaucracy a big waste of money? Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute explains.

Last year I attended a software conference in Aberystwyth university. It has commercial sponsors and is usually a great experience.
Last year it was sponsored also by the university diversity program. The university sponsored itself?
As a direct consequence we were subjected to coloured presenters who were, without a doubt, only there because of their skin colour.
We also had to suffer being told about a presenter’s homosexual diseases while he tried to align it with ethics. He worked for big pharma.
A homosexual who was continually being infected with sexually transmitted diseases who worked for big pharmaceutical corporations telling us about ethics.
Diversity and inclusion sponsored.
I’m not going this year.

Good move MO. I’m wondering what diversity and STDs have to do with software. Sounds like an old Delbert cartoon strip.

Dilbert has been censored now I’m sure.

Amazing… Bill Maher and Spicoli both agreeing that this Marxist cancer exists is a big step in the right direction.
DEI is a self-feeding extortion loop fueled by guilt trips and threats of urban violence.

When I was a student in the 60s, I had a prof, perhaps a grad student or adjunct, who recommended Cloward and Piven to me. And also a famous book on ethics by a philosophy professor. I also discovered Saul Alinsky in Playboy. There was a history professor who laced his history of America with comments on how bad everythingt in American history was. That was just the beginnings. It sounded like mere correcting some defects in American history. But it was like the first stage of a disease that has multiplied and spread throught the body politic till it has become almost a juggernaut of far left schemes. They expand in every way they can by multiplying and inventing injustices to correct. It seems endless, and the so-called correctives of injustice are worsse than the harms they are claimed to fight. Vote the leftists out of office, take away their sinecures at universities and in governments. Send them packing, they have served their purpose. Start with Joe and his appointees and staff. Get them into retirement. Put Joe back in the basement with his ice cream cones and Mattlock reruns. That is all he deserves.

Voting may help…however, it is the Deep State that controls just about everything. It was the US Army Intelligence that funded Chinese researches in the UC system to elaborate on making a pill to make “conservatives” not be concerned about fiscal deficits. Can’t make this stuff up. Ps: Not Taking the Pill

Collage education has been a scam for a long time. Anything other than hard core science education, is an endeavor in futility. BTW what happened to Bill Maher. Does he got hit on the head with 2×4 truth stud? Or just got awaken from a long liberal coma?
