The SCC Files: No one wants to claim ownership of DEI “training” event at the college.
It’s amazing how the politicos and the apparatchiks scatter when someone turns the lights on.
We already told you about a DEI propaganda event, thinly disguised as “workforce training”, has been scheduled to occur on the campus of Sandhills Community College in August. Marketing materials assign sponsorship credit to organizations such as Moore County’s Board of Education, the county’s economic development board, the Moore County Chamber, and the college itself.
Almost immediately, folks affiliated with those organizations began fielding tough questions. Multiple Sandhills Community College trustees confirmed to us that they were not briefed about this event, nor did anyone seek authorization for the college to sponsor the event.
Here is Moore County Board of Education chairman Robert Levy responding to questioners on Facebook:
So, where does someone get off claiming — without permission from a person in authority — an organization (1) OKed the use of its logo on marketing material, and (2) is an event sponsor?
Here is the full list of local sponsors and partners for the August event:
(The Small Business Center is also part of Sandhills Community College.)
The release promoting the event also cited something called The Lumina Foundation as a sponsor. The following screenshot from their website should give you plenty of clues as to where they fall on the political spectrum.
The college’s logo on this event’s promotional material continues to seriously raise questions about the commitment of Sandhills Community College to remove the stink of DEI from its campus.
If you are a Moore County Chamber member, your membership dues are likely being used to pay for this nonsense. Moore County taxpayers also deserve some reassurance that their hard-earned tax dollars are not being used to pay for this kind of nonsense.
DEI is about dividing us into racial, gender, and other politically-approved categories. It’s anti-capitalist. It’s also about punishing a significant chunk of our society for alleged past wrongdoings that modern-day citizens had little to no involvement in. We need to push for a society that encourages hard work and offers rewards based on merit. No reparations. No special favors.
If these organizations are truly innocent, they should publicly disavow this Marxist / racist event and demand that it be cancelled. If not, they are probably jerking your chain with their denials.
Sean Ono Lennon, son of John Lennon of the Beatles, had the best take on what DEI stands for, “Dumb Evil Idiots”. That seems to be what you have a lot of in Moore County – Dumb Evil Idiots.
Why is Moore County, of all places, so infested with this DEI nonsense? I thought this was a solid Republican county. Sounds like the General Assembly needs to intervene and put a stop to this craziness–once, of course, they are through being entertained by all the corporate leeches at the U.S. Open Golf Tournament this week.
Ask Fallon McIver Brewington who is involved. She’s the one quoted in the article. She’s a college VP and runs the Workforce Training division (previously Continuing Ed). Also check out her Instagram page. She is a classy broad. Great rep for the college. Community business leaders depending on the division for trained workers should feel confident their needs will be met. Dr Dempsey hand-picked and placed her into this position without advertising the position or interviewing anyone else for it. He knew she’d be the best for our community. Not a diversity hire, most qualified to apply. Oh, that’s right, she didn’t.
A tech CEO has the answer to DEI. In his company, he is promoting MEI instead – Merit, Excellence, and Intelligence. Elon Musk has tweeted his approval.
