Diversity Is Great, DEI, Inc. Isn't.

Norman Rockwell, “Spirit of America,” 1974

We recently appeared on “How Do We Fix It?”, a wonderful podcast in search of constructive and practical ideas to address the many problems that plague our age.  

We had a fantastic time talking to the hosts Richard Davies and Jim Meigs about free speech, academic freedom and campus politics. We discussed DEI, Inc.—what the term means and why we think it’s useful. And we argued that an ascendant discourse of harm is at the heart of today’s threats to campus free expression, from the chilling effects of many DEI initiatives to the even chillier effects of anti-CRT legislation like Florida’s Stop WOKE Act. Thank you to Richard and Jim for giving us their permission to post our discussion on Banished.
