Fighting to eliminate DEI in our Schools
Holding educators accountable to teach instead of indoctrinate our children
How DEI is transforming education
DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Diversity purports to be about embracing those in our culture that come from all cultures, backgrounds and beliefs. Equity means supporting those who have historically been disadvantaged. Inclusion is simply making everyone feel included. These are lofty goals and represent, on their face, good intentions. It is hard find fault in such laudable efforts.
So how exactly do the goals above translate into teaching? K-12 and colllege programs have been implementing DEI by separating students into two classed, oppressor and oppressed. Students are taught, as early as kindergarten, that white, middle class, cisgender, educated Christians are responsible for all oppression in our society. At the same time advanced STEM classes and standardized tests are eliminated, “Because they promote racism and sexism,” as opposed to hard work and achievement.
Thirty countries now outperform the US in math at the high school level. Over a dozen outperform the US in science and reasoning. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development claims that the US, “Is now the worst-educated workforce in the industrialized world.”
Given the dire nature of these and other reports it hardly seems the time to implement a program that lowers standards, teaches students to discriminates against people based on race, gender, ethnicity, and religious beliefs.
State and Federal tax dollars are funding the DEI efforts in both K-12 and college programs. They are emptying classrooms and radicalizing students rather that giving them useful skills to help them compete in a global economy.
what can be done to reverse DEI indoctrination of our children?
Across the country, state lawmakers are proposing bills to limit diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at state-funded institutions. The bills could impact a wide range of initiatives, from defunding DEI offices and officers to removing diversity statements from hiring practices. Nearly half of the states in the U.S. have either proposed anti-DEI bills or could be in the process of drafting them.
As of May 2024, 10 bills have been signed into law by a governor: two in Florida, one in each of the Dakotas, one in Tennessee, one in Texas, one in Utah, one in Alabama, one in Idaho, and one in Iowa.
The keys to creating bullet-proof Legislation
Ban DEI Departments
- Bar students, employees, and contractors from being required to attend DEI training
- Include bright-line commands in legislature making violators culpable
- Empower school boards and state agencies to discipline or terminate violators of the anti-DEI act
