The problem with all this DEI ideology and its apparatus and bureaucracy is that it fails to address the root causes of black and Hispanic underachievement, but just pushes up the problems up the chain so that higher levels of the academic world and now the professions feel obliged to somehow remedy the failures of public education to prepare significant numbers of minority students for academic or employment success. Their failures have almost nothing to do with racism as the racist Kendi argues, but with a host of problems related to family life, lack of two-parent family, a culture that does not value value education, deficient pedagogical practices, mentoring, and more. DEI is a way that white elites can relieve themselves of perceived guilt by shoving the problem under the rug.
This problem has been growing decades, first with social promotion in K-12, the increasing need for remediation in colleges and universities, excuse making among campus ideologues blaming whites people generally for these failures, and professional societies embracing the DEI ideology that seeks to dismantle the whole meritocratic system. In the process, it treats black and Hispanics as children and fails to hold them to high standards. It deprives of the agency they require for success and hands them diplomas not worth the paper on which they are printed. And all the while, the racial achievement gap is just as wide as it has been for 30 years or more.
Well done! DEI is largely misleading bureaucratic nonsense, cooked up by the ever-expanding corps of grifting administrators. Thank you for speaking up.
