Diversity Equity Inclusion
Inclusion for us, exclusion for them
Inclusion for us, exclusion for them
Loneliness, bullying, exclusion can happen anywhere in the school population. We should be sensitive to our children feeling hurt or excluded by others, who perhaps do not realise the suffering they inflict, which can happen in all sorts of ways, and not only to specific minorities in certain ways.
- A hurting child may be from the bad sex, boys, as well as from the good sex, girls (in Progressive talk.)
- He could be from the bad race, white, not from a better race (through the EDI lens.)
- And he might have no interest in minority adult sexual identities – and that is how we want our pre-puberty children to stay – thank you Stonewall and the Progressive Educational Establishment.
DEI, however, is not interested if there is no sacred minority in play.
The Left want to exploit our care for children to embed their divisive identity politics. A key strategy of the Left has been to play on parents’ natural protectiveness of their children by framing their initiatives as anti-bullying. The prospect of a child being miserable while away from us at school because of bullying is a natural concern that parents may feel.
The recent push to teach children at an early age about minority sexual orientations was justified on the grounds that it would counter bullying. Through constant repetition by activists and the media, “homophobic” is one of the adjectives most closely associated in the public’s minds with bullying. However, the detailed surveys on bullying by the organisation Ditch the Label show sexual orientation to be down at no. =7 in the causes of bullying.
You do not hear the phrase hobbyphobic bullying, for example, even though having the wrong hobbies is a cause in 30% of bullying, and sexuality in only 11% of bullying. Why is that? The Far Left do not have an agenda to change children’s hobbies, or change societal attitudes on them, but they do on sexuality.
Jonathan Haidt Professor of Psychology NYU, co-author of “The Coddling of the American Mind”, founder of Heterodox Academy organisation for academic freedom.
“The main reason that professors have been fired in US universities in the past few years is not saying something Racist but questioning the Diversity Policy”.
“There is an easy way to tell which side is wrong. The answer is it is the side which shoots its dissidents. If they do that you can pretty much count on the fact they are wrong”.
Ben Shapiro: DEI holds that all arguments boil down to power dynamics so arguments, reason are useless
Jewish Political commentator Ben Shapiro: “We say inclusive but what we really mean is everyone but you – and that is inclusion”.
Inclusion stops free debate and free thought, by wheeling out the supposed vulnerability of the identity groups being exploited by the Left to silence alternative viewpoints.
EDI is not concerned about discrimination against certain groups, like Jews
When Stanford University was accused of ignoring anti-Semitic incidents, its DEI committee dismissed the allegations, stating that because ‘Jews, unlike other minority group[s], possess privilege and power, Jews and victims of Jew-hatred do not merit or necessitate the attention of the DEI committee’.
Musa Al-Gharbi: Diversity and inclusion can perversely exclude the marginalised
Consider attempts to purge institutions of non-left perspectives. In general, immigrants and racial and ethnic minorities tend to be more religious and more culturally conservative than whites. The same tends to be true of people of more modest socioeconomic backgrounds in comparison to social elites. When an institution inculcates an environment that is hostile to more “traditional” values and worldviews, it may do this in the name of diversity and inclusion, but it will often have the perverse effect of excluding, alienating, and/or creating a more precarious situation for those who are already underrepresented and marginalized in elite spaces.
