Lefties run amok at UNC-Chapel Hill while trustees RUN for other offices.
Brad Briner, the Republican nominee for state treasurer, ran a commercial during the recently concluded primary election where he claimed he is not for DEI and its nasty relatives. Yet, we haven’t heard a peep out of him about the university’s “DEI Fellows” program or other activities sponsored by the Office of Diversity & Inclusion. 
Dave Boliek, a Republican likely headed to a runoff in the race for state auditor, is also a UNC-CH trustee.
For those of you who may not be familiar with DEI, it is basically marxism retooled for the 21st century. DEI preaches about “oppressors” — mainly white males and other straight, church-going people — needing to make amends to the so-called “oppressed” – mostly women, gays, and everyone else who doesn’t fit cleanly into the “oppressor” category. With DEI, race, gender, and sexual orientation are among the attributes that overrule competence, talent, experience, and education when hiring, promoting, or choosing candidates for various other educational and professional opportunities.
So, what is the university’s DEI Fellows program all about?
[…] The University Office for Diversity and Inclusion DEI Fellows Program is a one-year program aimed at sophomores and juniors who are interested in proactively advancing diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at Carolina and in their home communities.
DEI Fellows engage with DEI experts to further develop their own leadership skills and competencies, receive mentorship from subject matter experts through weekly workshops and panels, engage in community-based active learning, and take part in career networking and coaching.[…]
Oh, and let’s not forget the endorsements of the program:
Ok. So what kind of things can you learn about as a DEI Fellow at Chapel Hill?
It’s a veritable “snowflake” harvest.
How does this nonsense honestly help our young people compete in the 21st century economy?
So, if your kids come home from their matriculations at Chapel Hill — or if some recent UNC grads show up to interview at your company — and start calling you a bigot and threatening hunger strikes or walkouts, you now where it all came from.
Smacking this stuff down is the kind of reform many of us have been looking for from our veto-proof “conservative” majority at the legislature. Most of the folks on the university boards were appointed over on Jones Street.
What are we waiting for?
I take back my quasi-defense position of Boliek and Preyer a few weeks ago regarding the Board’s “doing its best” to change the leftist culture at UNC.
You lied, Boliek. As is so typical of every pussy-assed so-called conservative in this carcass of a state, you were just trying to appease us, get the grassroots off your back. Either you are against DEI or you are for it, either you cut DEI or you don’t and as this insane fellowship proves the Board is for it. Y’all SUCK.
But the blame also lies squarely on the Higher Ed chairs: FECKLESS loser Jon Hardister, pro-life but do nothing else Amy Galey, milquetoast Mike Lee and who the hell is this guy Ray Pickett. They just keep funding this shit.
And speaking of funding: all of the aforementioned gave a blank check to Kenan-Flagler. Is anyone paying attention to that shithole? Anti-White boy affinity groups galore, scholarships only to Black kids, a female-led marketing department that will not return tests or let students see what they got wrong on exams (the opposite of teaching), professors who are majority foreign and a female Dean who is obsessed with all things girl. So much for educating global leaders…
Anyway, the UNC rot is systemic as is its anti-White boy hate, conservative/NCGOP “leaders” really don’t give a F and are a bunch of frauds and we, frenz, are so very fu$ked. Tragic.
DEI fellowship or otherwise named Plagiarism 101 without repercussions
Michelle Morrow, our Superintendant of Public Instruction nominee, has called DEI “Discrimination, Exclusion, and Indocrtination”. Sean Ono Lennon, son of John Lennon of the Beetles says DEI stands for “Dumb Evil Idiots” They are both spot on.
Florida has already kicked this racist and Marxist crap out of their universities, and other states have following Utah’s governor signed a state law banning DEI just a few weeks ago and is the most recent. The DEI ideology is as racist as KKK ideology, just coming from a different perspective. It is high time for North Carolina to follow the other states that have banned it in education.
Briner is as phony as a three dollar bill. He voted in the Democrat primary in 2020, and he is employed by an enemy of democracy, gun rights opponent Michael Bloomberg. He is little more than a Democrat plant, exactly what one would expect liberal Senate boss Phil Berger to have recruited for office. Boliek is the same breed of cat.
Briner does not care about the solvency of the State Pension System or Health Plan. He has stated that he wants to undo Dale’s good work. He wants to take those systems and chop them up between himself; Berger; Bloomberg and Wall Street. He will leave the employees of the State and all the Taxpayers with the bill. There are 2 Democratic candidates for State Treasurer. I will be voting for the one that is the Democratic nominee.
Boliek is also connected to the Berger machine and he himself was a Democrat until recently. Hopefully in the runoff the voters will go with Jack Clark. I’ll be working to get him the nod. If the Republican voters are stupid and support Boliek, I can always vote for the Democrat in that race without issue come November
The Briner primary is a good example of why we should require a majority vote to win a nomination. A 30% threshold to avoid a runoff is an absurdity, yet that is the mindless system we now have thanks to last minute shananigans in the legislature by Berger and Moore. Even a 40% threshhold like we used to have would have forced Briner into a runoff where his real allegiances could have been exposed. Briner is Exhibit A as to why we need to go back to a majority vote requirement. I wonder if he is even electable in a general election as I know a number of pro-gun Republicans who will vote against him due to his toxic Bloomberg connections.
The old Soviets called them “Political Officers” and one was required for any business entity to stay out of trouble. It looks like Amerika 2.0 will call them DEI Officers. Thanks UNC!
This has been one helluva cover-up by supposedly Republican-appointed UNC trustees. Thanks for bringing these facts to light. We have been betrayed by GOP leadership.
Again.
Hum. I wonder how many agains equal a trend? How many trends equal an expectation.
There is an interesting article up at “The European Conservative” about how a handful of billionaires created the “Transgender Movement.” It can be read here: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/interviews/how-a-handful-of-billionaires-created-the-transgender-movement-an-interview-with-jennifer-bilek/
