In conversations with most college officials, many CEOs, many politicians and race hustlers, it’s not long before the magical words “diversity” and “inclusiveness” drop from their lips. Racial minorities are the intended targets of this sociological largesse, but women are included, as well. This obsession with diversity and inclusion is in the process of leading the nation to decline in a number of areas. We’re told how it’s doing so in science, in an article by Heather Mac Donald, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, titled “How Identity Politics Is Harming the Sciences.”
Mac Donald says that identity politics has already taken over the humanities and social sciences on American campuses. Waiting in the wings for a similar takeover are the STEM fields -- science, technology, engineering and math. In the eyes of the diversity and inclusiveness czars, the STEM fields don’t have a pleasing mixture of blacks, Hispanics and women. The effort to get this “pleasing mix” is doing great damage to how science is taught and evaluated, threatening innovation and American competitiveness.

And this is only the tip of the iceberg. It's shocking how literally insane the elites of our country have gone in their allegiance to lunatic social theories and political correctness. The "normals" are going to need to make a strong effort to reclaim sanity in our institutions, or it will get much worse from here on out.

DeleteFor sure.

ReplyDeleteI disagree, the 'targets' are and remain White males. Especially those of the Christian faith.
Y'all have a nice day.
They're after everyone who won't go along with their all consuming plans.
DeleteAn interesting point but can you point me to another group, that has suffered this kind of discrimination other than Caucasian males? The quote posted above, from the article, specifically states 'racial minorities' but includes women. Who else is left but Caucasian males?
DeleteForgive me if I have missed something for it is unintentional.
