Bob Woodson on Why DEI Is Being Ditch
Some universities are repealing and replacing their\xa0diversity, equity, and inclusion\xa0policies.\xa0\nAt the end of May, the\xa0University of North Carolina\xa0system voted to repeal and replace its DEI policy for a new policy that \u201caims to ensure efforts to support students on UNC System campuses do not infringe on academic freedom, equal opportunity, or institutional neutrality,\u201d according to the university.\xa0\nIn Utah, the state recently passed legislation to halt all DEI activities in the state\u2019s universities.\xa0\nConservatives have long raised concerns over the harmful implications of DEI programs, which\xa0Bob Woodson\xa0argues are \u201cinstitutionalizing racism in the name of addressing social injustice.\u201d\nWoodson, founder of the Woodson Center and author of \u201cRed, White, and Black: Rescuing American History from Revisionists and Race Hustlers,\u201d says \u201cit\u2019s insulting to black America to assume that social justice can only be achieved by changing the rules, dumbing down standards, and compromising the basic integrity. We fought in the Civil Rights Movement so that we can move beyond race and define ourselves by the content of our character, but this is turning the clock back.\u201d\nEnjoy the show!\n Hosted on Acast.
