DEI Is a Disaster at Ultrawoke University of Michigan

Some want to go all in on diversity/equity/inclusion by electing a DEI candidate president of the USA. Others have seen what DEI is doing to the University of Michigan:

Since 2016, Michigan has spent around a quarter of a billion dollars on DEI.

This is a state school, largely funded on a coercive basis by taxpayers.

According to a 2021 report from the Heritage Foundation, Michigan employed 163 staff members in DEI positions, by far the largest DEI workforce of the universities studied for the report.

And yet:

A 2021 student and faculty survey conducted by Michigan showed that participants thought the campus climate was less positive than in previous years, before the current DEI efforts. Students reported that they interacted less with people of different races and religions.

Surprise, surprise. Playing identity groups off against each other — demonizing some while demanding the worship of others, characterizing everyone as either oppressor or oppressed — does not produce social harmony.

How could it? Cultural Marxism is a wrecking ball, useful for demolition, not for construction. It is a divide and conquer strategy to destroy America devised by foreign Marxists.

Kamala Harris: Yet Another DEI Plagiarist

As Jerlando Jackson, Claudine Gay, Sherri Ann Charleston, Shirley Greene, Alade McKen, et al. have taught us, where you have DEI hires, you have plagiarism. Kamala Harris is the ultimate DEI hire, so this is unsurprising:

Scamala has presumably been making money off the book, which would make her a crook.

Still again we see that Harris is a continuation of the trainwreck Biden:

Biden/Harris DoJ Forbids Math Tests

Math is racist. The federal government has spoken:

The Biden-Harris Department of Justice has undertaken a slew of lawsuits against local police and fire departments alleging that it is racist to require hires entrusted with public safety to know basic math.

Democrats believe blacks are too dumb to do math. Therefore, requiring the basic skills required for competence at policing and firefighting would have a “disparate impact” and be racist.

For an example of a math question relevant for firefighters,

One question asks if a building is 350 feet away, how many 60-foot hoses would be needed.

The Biden/Harris Department of Injustice is also suing to stop physical fitness tests on the grounds that they have a disparate impact on women, who for obvious physical reasons don’t always make the best police officers and firefighters.

Last week, Durham, North Carolina was forced to settled with the DoJ:

Durham Fire Department must pay nearly a million dollars to people who failed the test, and hire up to 16 of them.

We already know where this is heading nationally because we have been there at the local level:

After D.C. Mayor Marion Barry made firehouses in the nation’s capital a racial spoils program, firefighters repeatedly turned out to be gun-toting, violent criminals. Public outrage over the hiring program culminated in 2014 after a 77-year old man had a heart attack directly in front of a fire station and begged for help, but none of the firefighters ran to his aid.

Today’s Democrats are not merely tyrants but malevolent, ideologically deranged tyrants who hate American civilization and reality itself. Either we pry them from power, or our society perishes.

Punished for Looking “Beyond Gender and Identity”

Under liberal domination, prioritizing DEI over merit isn’t just encouraged; it is mandatory. Those who fail to comply will be punished:

Mike Shaw, who until recently served as the Oregon Department of Forestry’s second-in-command, was put on blast by Megan Donecker, the department’s former DEI strategy officer, for looking “beyond gender and identity in hiring, seeking only candidates most qualified for the job,” OregonLive reported.

Shaw was placed on administrative leave.

Shaw first drew Donecker’s ire when he dared suggest the agency — which has over 1,400 employees and a biennial budget over $577 million — take a measured approach to DEI initiatives, likening plunging into them headlong to driving too fast on “an icy road.”

He should have elaborated that the icy road goes over a bridge that is out — as will be demonstrated if DEI candidate Kamala Harris prevails in November.

Our society is largely governed by moonbat bureaucrats like this:

Megan Donecker, who describes herself as “an accomplice to marginalized communities,” now works as a DEI consultant. That’s where the big bucks are in her line of work.

The Americans FEMA Is Willing to Rescue

It may be true that repurposed FEMA exists primary to help illegal aliens, not American citizens, and even that the agency is not merely useless in an emergency but impedes rescue attempts by private citizens. But that’s no reason to risk the government’s wrath with “dangerous” criticism. After all, FEMA does care what happens to some Americans — namely, nonwhites and those who orient their lives around sexual perversion:

In a virtual meeting from March 2023, FEMA Emergency Management Specialist Tyler Atkins alarmingly said the agency was prioritizing LGBTQ people because they are ‘already disadvantaged.’

To be “disadvantaged” is to be heavily advantaged under moonbat rule.

Atkins appears to be a woman who has undergone grotesque sex change procedures. Her pronouns are “he/they.”

[Atkins] then passed the conversation to Maggie Jarry, a senior emergency management specialist at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

She claimed that rather than helping as many people as possible, FEMA should instead adopt a policy of ‘disaster equity’ that prioritizes people from minority communities.

The bureaucrat spells it right out:

“The shift that we’re seeing right now is a shift in emergency management from utilitarian principles — where everything is designed for the greatest good, for the greatest amount of people — to disaster equity.”

This is official policy:

A similar line can be found on FEMA’s own website, where it lists its ‘Goal 1’ as: ‘Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management.’

Moonbattery being a totalitarian ideology, everything is politicized so as to impose equity — i.e., to help those liberals like at the expense of those they don’t. This includes disaster relief.

Lousy Liar Karine Jean-Pierre Promoted

Under moonbat rule, failure is a career path with an upward trajectory in accordance with the principles of DEI. Consider the conspicuously incompetent Karine Jean-Pierre, whose qualifications consist entirely of being a left-wing lesbian with a Haitian background.

See her caught in yet another of the lies she tells so unconvincingly:

Via Daily Wire:

When asked if FEMA funding is being used to house illegal immigrants, Jean-Pierre denied it, calling the claim “categorically false” and “a false statement.” But FEMA openly states that its funding has been used to house illegal immigrants who have entered the United States under the Biden-Harris administration.

Here’s why lying was politically expedient:

While FEMA has diverted funds to house illegal aliens who have entered the United States under the Biden-Harris administration, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said that FEMA doesn’t have enough funding to sustain operations through hurricane season. The comment came in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which killed over 160 people.

The point isn’t that K.J.-P. lies but that she does so too brazenly to be convincing, despite telling lies on behalf of the Biden/Harris regime being her job description. Having the temperament of a spoilt 6-year-old doesn’t help:

“Misinformation” as used by Democrats means speech that will justify imprisonment after they consolidate power.

Based on her job performance combined with her intersectional identity, you know what comes next: a promotion.

Her colleagues rejoice:

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been promoted to senior adviser to the president, ABC News has learned. …

Jean-Pierre made history in 2022 when she was tapped to become the press secretary, becoming the first Black woman and the first openly gay person to take on the role.

What, no mention of her parents being Haitians?

The regime openly admits that DEI inspired the absurd promotion:

A White House official said that her promotion shows the faith that Biden has in her, as well as his commitment to having diverse and inter-generational voices guiding him in his decisions.

Look at the bright side. At least she isn’t in command of a ship.

Lesbian Captain Sinks Her Ship

Moonbattery does not appear to be seaworthy. It isn’t only Germany’s solar ferry that has taken on water. Consider New Zealand’s navy:

HMNZS Manawanui, the Royal New Zealand Navy’s newly upgraded hydrographic salvage and support ship, ran aground [Saturday] night during a reef survey off the southern coast of Samoa. The vessel subsequently caught fire and sank, marking the first peacetime loss of a Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) ship. While no injuries were reported, the incident resulted in an oil spill.

Let’s hope the environment doesn’t mind.

The New Zealand Defence Force stated that the cause of the grounding is currently unknown and will require further investigation. …

While New Zealand officials are praising the ship’s commanding officer, Commander Yvonne Gray, for her swift action, some question whether more could have been done to save one of only five fully operational ships in the underfunded and overworked RNZN fleet.

Thanks to DEI, this may be the English woman’s foremost qualification to command a New Zealand naval vessel:

Commander Gray and her wife Sharon moved to New Zealand after falling in love with the country during a campervan holiday.

Any questions on why government officials are praising her?

Walz Appointee Calls for Overthrow of USA

If Kamala Harris would pick someone like Tim Walz, what kind of people would Tim Walz pick? The answer: Brian Lozenski.

Stanley Kurtz reports:

Brian Lozenski, an associate professor of urban and multicultural education at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minn., was appointed by Governor Tim Walz’s state education department to help write the statewide “implementation framework” (similar to a curriculum) for Minnesota’s new “ethnic studies” standards.

The release of this framework has been delayed, evidently until after the election, for reasons that become obvious when you consider that Lozenski has explicitly called for the overthrow of the USA.

Lozenski is no outlier. On the contrary, he has been the leading voice advocating the addition of a radical version of “ethnic studies” to Minnesota’s social-studies standards (citizenship and government, economics, geography, history, and now ethnic studies). Lozenski is also the key organizer and thought leader for the radical leftist advocacy groups that Governor Walz has effectively put in charge of rewriting Minnesota’s social-studies standards.

Imagine an entire nation of the most radical moonbats. That’s what we will soon have if Democrats retain control of the government and through it the schools.

Lozenski’s 2022 book, My Emancipation Don’t Fit Your Equation: Critical Enactments of Black Education in the US, is his most important academic work. On May 27, 2022, Lozenski recorded a Zoom video, posted to YouTube, about his book. That video event was called “Education in the Blacklight: Fugitivity, Abolition, and Accommodation.”

In this video, he explicitly calls for America to be destroyed using the wrecking ball of critical race theory.

Lozenski presents his doctrine:

“The first tenet of critical race theory is that the United States as constructed is irreversibly racist. So if the nation-state as constructed is irreversibly racist, then it must be done with, it must be overthrown, right. And so we can’t be like, ‘Oh no, critical race theory is just about telling our stories and divers[ity].’ It’s not about that. It’s about overthrow. It’s insurgent. And we, we need to be, I think, more honest with that. And it’s funny that they [so-called supremacists], you know, they don’t understand critical race theory, but they actually tell some truth when they’re like, yeah, it is anti-state. You can’t be a critical race theorist and be pro-U.S. Okay, it is an anti-state theory that says, The United States needs to be deconstructed, period. Right. Like that’s, you know, and so I think, I think it’s an interesting argument there. And that’s why I’m a critical race theorist [laughs].”

Cultural Marxism is at bottom Marxism, the same system that produced 100 million corpses under Mao, Stalin, et al. That’s why Lozenski pushes the concept of “racial capitalism,” according to which economic freedom must be abolished because it is inherently racist.

Personnel is policy. Under Democrat rule, that policy will be the systematic destruction of our country. Lozenski spells it out:

How to Win Miss Georgia Teen USA

In the olden days, beauty contests were won with beauty. Nowadays, it’s a matter of checking identity boxes:

Miss Georgia Teen USA 2024 Ava Colindres made history as the first Asian-Latina-African American to hold the title and she has used her platform to encourage others to celebrate the beauty of their differences.

That is, the beauty of DEI, which is working out well for Miss Colindres.

Being an actual female, she lags behind the times. Way back in 2021, Kataluna Enriquez won Miss Nevada USA by being not only black but also actually a guy. He too has a Hispanic name. So far as I know, he isn’t also Asian though.

Soros Operation Fractured by Its Own Ideology

What goes around, comes around:

A George Soros-funded nonprofit that steers left-wing prosecutors in major American cities is in turmoil after much of its minority staff accused their leader of being racist …

Sherry Boston, the elected district attorney of Dekalb County, Georgia, accused FJP [Fair and Just Prosecution] Executive Director Miriam Krinsky of racism for excluding her from a New York City event…

Krinsky, who is white, replied by disparaging Boston and saying she was excluded from events because of merit, not race.

Didn’t you get the memo, Ms. Krinsky? Merit is racist! That’s why we have DEI instead.

Boston isn’t the only presumed DEI beneficiary to revolt against Krinsky’s racist oppression.

“The workplace culture under Miriam’s leadership is oppressively authoritarian,” disaffected employees, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Daily Wire in an email. “Miriam manipulates a predominantly young, minority staff—exploiting their inexperience and the existing racial dynamics within the organization to tighten her grip on power.”

A leftist tightening her grip on power? Tell me it isn’t so.

The staffers said they had faced retaliation for sounding the alarm about racism within the group, and that the leaders of the anti-police movement were quick to weaponize law enforcement to inflict it.

Let’s hope they didn’t call the cops on lawbreakers. That would constitute more racism.

Yet again we see that leftist ideology is a wrecking ball. It is useful only for demolition and cannot be used to create anything sustainable — not even a sustainable wrecking ball.

The purpose of FJP is to allow George Soros to implement control of the pro-criminal DAs he has used his ill-gotten fortune to install throughout the USA,* destabilizing the country with an explosion in crime:

An August investigation from the Media Research Center found Krinsky held sway over law enforcement officials with jurisdiction over more than 3 in 10 Americans. The report found that Soros uses FJP to maintain contact with the left-wing prosecutors he helps get elected with massive donations. FJP often writes public statements and op-eds in elected officials’s names, and summons them to “mandatory” training sessions.

Break out the popcorn while we watch cultural Marxist organizations torn limb from limb by the Frankenstein’s monster they created to destroy America.

Fat Jokes Banned at Northwestern University

Those willing to construct an identity around being morbidly obese have been recruited into the cultural Marxist coalition. Consequently, weight-related jokes are not permitted at Northwestern University:

The university included weight and height on its list of “protected characteristics” in its 2024 discrimination, harassment and sexual misconduct policy, placing the traits alongside attributes like race and gender.

By entering academia, you renounce your right to free expression even outside the college world:

[S]tudents are told to refrain from posting “derogatory, demeaning, or hostile materials” related to weight on the internet.

The thought police regard jokes as serious business:

Punishment for violating the harassment policy ranges all the way from a verbal warning to expulsion, depending on how severe the university determines that infraction was, according to the policy.

Grovel before the moonbat educrats and they may show mercy, so long as you are not a repeat offender. Otherwise:

Disciplinary measures could potentially include verbal or written warnings from the school, forced counseling, “[r]equired training,” being put on probation, and suspension or expulsion from the school, among other measures.

The gag order applies not only to students:

Professors could also have their tenure status taken away.

The same restriction applies to jokes at the expense of those who are black, sexually perverted, Muslim, et cetera. It is even forbidden to tell jokes that offend those who have secured cherished victim status through their “reproductive health decision making” — i.e., by aborting their children.

Like other totalitarian ideologies, moonbattery cannot withstand humor and therefore cannot allow it.

University of South Carolina Students Must Affirm DEI

Is the main purpose of universities to educate or to indoctrinate? The taxpayer-supported state school University of South Carolina provides the answer by mandating “diversity and inclusion” training:

In a module on “Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging,” which included 10 multiple choice questions, the training asked students how “diversity and inclusion help create a healthy, positive campus environment.” Students who said these values do not create such an environment—or that they give “unfair advantages” to “people from marginalized identity groups”—were told that their answers were “incorrect,” according to screenshots shared with the Washington Free Beacon by the First Amendment watchdog Speech First.

Students who don’t answer at least 80% of the questions politically correctly are not allowed to register for classes.

The next step will be to force all students to publicly affirm their allegiance to our official state religion, Critical Race Theory.

Molson Coors Backs Off From DEI Moonbattery

The brewer said it would no longer participate in a scoring system by the Human Rights Campaign, an advocacy group that gives scores to companies based on LGBTQ+ inclusion in their workplaces.

In addition, Molson Coors said it would no longer have supplier-diversity goals, which typically aim to buy supplies from companies owned by minorities or women.

Despite woke posturing, sexual perversion and discrimination against white men are not hills many corporations are willing to die on. Nobody wants to be the next Bud Light.

Islamic Conquest by Moonbattery

Muslims have been trying to eradicate Western Civilization for 1,400 years. At first they largely succeeded, violently driving Christianity from the Middle East and even conquering Constantinople, the capitol of Christendom for a thousand years after the decline of Rome. For the past few centuries, they fell so far behind the West that it seemed they would never finish Mohammad’s mission. But then came moonbattery, featuring open borders and the welfare state:

The cultural consequence:

What they did to Constantinople’s Hagia Sophia, they will soon do to Westminster Abbey.
