RIP, DEI: The End of Our Captivity
Yes, a captivity. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (hereafter, DEI) can properly be called a captivity. Americans were held hostage by this alien ideology born in the claustrophobic classrooms of the Marxist credo for decades. Its noose has finally loosened.
So enveloping was this agitprop that the commanding heights of academe and conventional intelligentsia cast aside outdated things like free speech and launched a campaign of cancel culture, the flip side of Nazi book burning. For years, average Americans crouched in fear at the ubiquity of this Enemy.
No wonder you found yourself rubbing your eyes when The Wall Street Journal recently reported:
Universities are suspending research projects, canceling conferences and closing offices in response to a volley of orders from President Trump banning “diversity, equity and inclusion” across the United States government. The directives threaten vital federal funding and have thrown university leaders into disarray.
To avoid running afoul of the orders, which include “the termination of all discriminatory programs”, some school leaders have assumed a defensive posture on anything associated with DEI.
It seemed as though we were awaking from a nightmare. We had to pinch ourselves. Was its stranglehold abating?
But as the president severed its tentacles, the only thing he was doing was restoring simple common sense. But in the thick fog of Leftist disinformation, simple common sense begins to become uncommon. So uncommon that it soon becomes simply dangerous. Indeed, cause for arrest, as many pro-life folks discovered. Chestert
