There are parody accountsA
And Woodson is a good coach, you definitely believe what you want.
and then there are Parrot'ie accounts. He just keeps repeating one word that we was taught.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion employees will no longer have a job at University of Florida
The university said they are firing the employees in compliance with the Florida Board of Governor’s regulation 9.016 on prohibited expenditures.
If you don't feel included then it's because you have chosen not to be. Those pulsating veins in your head could rupture and lead to a stroke.
But I don't think you're a serious person anyway, just seem to get off vomiting as many adjectives as you can.
The DEI scare reminds me of the panic which beset my conservative parents in the 1930s and 40s as they saw universities such as Chicago and the Ivy League schools (especially Harvard) teaching communist ideology.
Robert Hutchins who was the Chancellor at the University of Chicago was a prime example of how our universities were being turned into laboratories of a harmful ideology in the minds of my parents. Terms such as Socratic dialogue sounded as if they were pure Marxism to my parents.
Supporting these fears was the Chicago Tribune which landed on our front porch every morning.
Contributing to these fears, in my opinion, is the fact words such as "diversity", "equity", and "inclusion" can have different meanings to different people which allow painting all DEI initiatives with a broad brush and as part of a unitary, harmful ideology. The critics who claim DEI is brain washing our students in the wrong direction fail to acknowledge the various voices, strategies, and success stories which also can be taught under the guise of DEI and can contribute to a positive discourse.
In other words, each DEI course being taught must be critiqued on its own merits or lack thereof . The critique of course will be influenced by our own personal ideology.

If you want to fixate on melanin levels or what’s between someone’s legs you are free to do that in some weird college course if they offer it. It has no place in a tax payer funded school.
DEI Is a disaster on many levels.
Chief among those is to the extent it stigmatizes whites for being racist it is against the law.
Second, to the extent it provides an excuse for poor black achievement, it is terrible social justice policy.
Black male academic performance in the United States is a total disgrace. It is getting worse. We can’t address a black male’s inability to read or do simple math by hiring a black female to be president of an Ivy League school. That approach is only meant to impress other mostly white elites— not to fix the problems.
From drugs, to poor employment, to bad education, to lack of fathers, Black males suffer from the negative weight of many social factors. Our primary response is DEI and black elites in positions of influence. That is all DEI bullshit. We need to get in the streets, neighborhoods, homes, and schools and get black youngsters in elementary school and teach them how to be responsible people who can read, write, do math, and achieve things besides buy a 9mm. Only after this happens will diversity, inclusion, and equity take hold.
CoH, suppose DEI could be seen as an attempt to excuse under achievement in the black community. Some of the programs may actually do this.
On the other hand, since programs under the guise of the title DEI differ in content, the above criticism may be completely inappropriate.
I think any DEI course has at its core an effort to build a just culture in any given organization. This smacks of Orwellian top down pixie dust. I am definitely not opposed to just and congenial organizational cultures. But I think the focus on race and gender is counter productive and nurtures divisions. Instead let’s start with how the guy in the corner office treats the people who clean the floors.
CoH, a lot in your post with which I agree.
Every time when filling out an application which includes my color, race, religion, heritage, extent of education, etc.... I gag. Why can't I just be me ?
Suspect when Blacks see essays about people of color who commit crimes, fail at school, didn't have a live- in Dad, etc...they gag and just want to be seen as a distinct one of a kind human being even if they weren't honor roll students or never met their biological father.
Tread lightly hoot. You might be mistaken for a conservative
Along with Ward Connerly ( the anti affirmative action guy) I believe in an equal and color blind society.
Don't think this makes me either conservative or liberal.
When an active Republican I got quite a few frowns from my buddies when suggesting we actively try to recruit more Blacks and union members. Interestingly in recent decades a good many union members have found a home in the GOP. Thinking people of color such as Blacks and what we call Hispanics will be next.
If anything defines 'woke', it's the banning of the VJ-Day kiss.
I mean, WTF?
"Biden's VA"?? That's rich. You think they micromanage every memo?
The White House. press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, confirmed during a Tuesday press briefing that the VA would not be banning the photograph.
“I can definitely say that the memo was not sanctioned. It’s not something that we were even aware of"
The memo was written by RimaAnn O Nelson, the department’s assistant under secretary for health for operations.
The VA secretary, Denis McDonough, announced the reversal of the memo on X, only hours after it began circulating online.
McDonough said: “Let me be clear: This image is not banned from VA facilities – and we will keep it in VA facilities.”
A spokesperson for the department told the Guardia that the memo was sent out inadvertently and had been quickly “rescinded”.

Seems like if RimaAnn (who recently got a major promotion under this administration) was acting unilaterally and without authority she should be let go."Biden's VA"?? That's rich. You think they micromanage every memo?

But lack of accountability is the name of the game in this administration. The VA head ain’t much better.
Notably, Denis McDonough has previously rewrote the VA motto with gender-neutral language and made veterans’ outreach and inclusion the department’s top priorities.
It’s Biden’s VA alright and it’s infected with the same cultural Marxist tripe that permeates throughout this entire administration.
