UNC’s affinity groups: Keeping America segregated and agitated
The Marxists who currently control public education in this state and country have made it clear they have no use for MLK’s maxim about judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
Their latest weapon, DEI, is a nasty little system that breaks people up into groups based on their genetic code or psychological disposition: female, black, Asian, indigenous, LGBTQXYZ++%$@*, Muslim, foreign-born, and the like. These folks, we are told, are “the oppressed.” DEI, we are also told, is aimed at achieving reparations — some say justice — for “the oppressed” from ”the oppressors.”
In case you weren’t aware, “the oppressors” are pretty much white, straight, church-attending men who may have voted for Donald Trump at least once.
It’s all just a slight variation from Karl Marx’s theme about the struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. Dare to complain about the racket being run, and you risk being labeled a – *gasp* – “racist” or — *Gasp, gasp*- BIGOT.
At one time, we were told that dividing people up according to their genetic code is bigoted and unlawful. Now, it’s all the rage among the political left and the public education bureaucrats.
One of the hottest trends right now in this area is something called “affinity groups.” What, pray tell, are “affinity groups” ?
So, by putting this crappe into practice in colleges, the point is being hammered home that you are not safe unless you are surrounded by people just like you. The opportunity for learning life lessons is extremely limited.
Growing up, I had the opportunity to attend schools with students from all over the US and the world. Arguably, I learned just as much, if not more, outside the classroom than I did inside it. Or than I would have by hanging around just with kids who were just like me.
To me, morons come in all shapes, sizes, colors, faiths, genders, political party registrations, and sexual orientations. (So do good people.)
Speaking of morons, let’s take a look at what the powers-that-be at The University of North Carolina have going on. Since 2011 or so, the GOP has controlled the General Assembly and had a huge say in who gets appointed to the governing boards for all our state’s public universities. For several years, House Speaker Tim Moore has had his BFF Clayton Somers stationed at UNC HQ in Chapel Hill as a “shot-caller.”
State Rep. Jon Hardister (R) – currently preoccupied with running for Labor Commissioner – has been chairing the Higher Education Committee for the last House session. He has shown little to no interest in attacking this nonsense. (Perhaps, an indicator of his effectiveness as labor commissioner?)
Republicans have been in prime position for more than a decade to restore some sanity to our state universities. Alas, they’ve chosen to populate the governing boards with empty-suit campaign donors who have no clue about — and have no interest in – the goings-on at our campuses.
Take a look at some of the affinity groups that are chugging along under the cover of alleged Republican leadership. Let’s start with UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School:
(“Latine” is not a misprint. According to the libs, it is a gender-neutral way to describe people of Latin-American descent.)
Yes, this IS what it looks like: segregation, with benefits. Scholarships are set aside for people of certain genetic makeups. Academic and professional opportunities are set aside for “the oppressed.” Your DNA matters a whole lot more than the quality of your performance.
Oh, the wider university community in Chapel Hill has even more kooky DEI and affinity organizations. They have a LGBTQ Center AND a “Queer Graduate and Professional Students Organization.”
There’s also a “Womxn (not a spelling error) of Worth Initiative” AND a First Nations Graduate Circle AND “Allies for Minorities and Women in Science and Engineering.” (Apparently, there is a crisis regarding white male enrollment. I don’t see a damn thing out there for white male students. I guess that’s on purpose.)
Crap like this does nothing to prepare one for the real world — you know, what happens after graduation and you have to leave campus and get a real job. It actually creates a whole new generation of whiners demanding even more unreasonable “reforms” from employers. You know, like what they were given – based on their DNA — during those five or six years on campus.
What happened to striving to be the best you can be?
You struggle to save and pay for your children to attend one of our state campuses. Yet, DEI hamstrings them – especially young while males – from achieving on-campus and taking flight in the business world.
We’re apparently supposed to sit there, smile, and take comfort that the screwing of our kids is being done for the benefit of allegedly “oppressed” sub-categories of the human race.
Republicans have simply “surrendered” UNC-CH to the radical left without even a fight.
I think I’m correct in saying that all 100 NC countys have the option to select an educational curriculum other than the one that the state BOE offers. IF I’m correct it’s damn well time for that option to be exercised.
Fantastic expose! Everything you wrote about is true if not worse in reality.
The state of that university and Hardister’s failure to do one flipping thing about it IS a disqualifier from any future public office. Same with Amy Galey, Mike Lee and Ray Pickett…all self-loathing White parents who apparently hate their White kids.
For all you naysayers who will wax poetic about “well don’t send your kids to university,” wake the F up. Like it or not, a college degree is still the ticket to many industries. And, most importantly, White boys have a right to go to college, to be rewarded for excellence and to not face bigotry at every turn.
It is a moral imperative that White parents stop being such rubes and demand better from these four do nothings, loser Moore and the entire Board of Trustees. At a bare minimum, White patents should be flooding that Board with letters, calling those four Higher Ed losers, showing up in their offices and start fighting back.
And to you smug NC State alumni who think your school is just fine for your White son, you are FOOLS. There is no school on a faster anti-White woke trajectory than that institution.
When will White parents say enough IS actually enough??
Enough is Enough is correct in total of what you said. But as NC State alumni with degrees, that university has become just as bad as the rest of UNC-Duke. Back when I graduated in the 70”s, it wasnt as liberal, But since then its become much worse. I can see that every time I go over there for professional workshops and conferences and have contact with professors and their staffs. State has become a disgrace of wokeness and liberal commiecrats.
Where this all comes from is Herbert Marcuse and his Critical Theory. Critical Race Theory is an offshoot of that, devised by Marxist law professors building on Marcuse’s work.
Marcuse was the chief ideologue of the German Communist Party during the Weimar Republic. When Hitler took over he fled to the US and took a university professortship. Following the usual Marxist philosophy, he kept waiting for the proletariat to rise up and overthrow Hitler, and when they did not, he concluded that Marxists needed to create further divisions in society. He then developed Critical Theory to create those additional divisions in society.
What our universities and often public schools are up to is pure Marxism, and it needs to be stopped. We have too many weak sisters in the legislature who are just not up to it. One legislator who was in a position to do something due to his committee assignments was RINO Jon Hardister, who is now running for Commissioner of Labor., but he did nothing. Conservatives need to make sure he is defeated in his primary.
Lots of the NCGA members have graduated from UNC. They will support their school. Eww. No matter how liberal, no matter the indoctrination, no matter how racist, no matter how sexist….no matter how they tried to take away your right to choose to vax. This school and most schools LAUGH because they are POSITIVE that the Money will keep rolling in…and SADLY, they are correct.
Jon Hardister DID help me with ECU. I reached out to ALL on the higher Ed committee and he was the ONLY one that responded. Thanks Jon.
The UNC trustees, all Republicans, could stop this nonsense tomorrow if they wanted to. That’s the problem–do they want to?
It appears that they are RINOS. If they weren’t, they would have put a STOP to a history of nonsense. Don’t forget about Silent Sam. What is allowed will continue, including our tax dollars for these Indoctrination Camps.
Fred is absolutely correct that NC State has become extremely liberal and anti-Republican. I can’t understand why the GOP trustees the legislature appoints to the NC State trustee board don’t do something to correct this? It’s the biggest asset the Wake County Democrat Parrty has.
What the legislature ought to do is to require diversity of thought on all campuses, mandating at least 30% of faculty in each department be conservative and at least 30% liberal, and use an ideological preference in new hires to balance faculties.
They also ought to follow Florida and some other states to defund DEI on campuses.
