Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.
The focus this time: Whatever isn’t prohibited is mandatory.
First, a little mood music:
Carrying on…
Apparently you aren’t deemed fit to coach football unless you view the game ant its players with wokeness through an “equity lens”.
“Should Governor Tim Walz ever hope to return to being an assistant football coach in Mankato, he might look to Minnesota State University for his next gig.
“The public university seeks a defensive assistant coach for its football team. But while it would be “preferred” that the applicant has experience coaching a defensive position and recruiting athletes, it is mandatory they embrace DEI.
“‘Demonstrated ability to serve a diverse population and apply an equity lens, including social justice and/or anti-racism, to the role,’ is listed as a ‘minimum’ qualification for the job.
“‘Ability to coach and teach highly-talented student-athletes to succeed in a challenging academic environment,’ on the other hand, is simply a ‘preferred’ qualification.”
Despite being illegal in California according to the California Constitution for nearly thirty years, racial discrimination is still practiced in California public colleges and universities.
“A nonpartisan group recently filed a lawsuit against the University of California system in federal court, alleging racial discrimination in admissions decisions.
“One member of the group and former UCLA professor told The College Fix the school’s ‘second-chance review policy’ is to blame. Meanwhile, a UC spokesperson said the school does not consider race in admissions and the lawsuit lacks merit.
“The newly formed Students Against Racial Discrimination — which includes a mix of Republican, Democrat and independent students, parents, academics, and citizens — argues in its lawsuit that UC’s admissions process gives ‘discriminatory preferences to non-Asian racial minorities,’ allowing ‘applicants with inferior academic credentials to obtain admission at the expense of rejected candidates with better academic credentials.’
“As a result, many Asian-American and white applicants are denied admission to UC schools because of their race. This ‘also harms Hispanic and black students who are often placed at a significant academic disadvantage, and thus experience worse outcomes, because of the university’s use of racial preferences,’ the lawsuit states.
“The practice also breaches constitutional and civil rights laws, including the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and California’s Proposition 209, all of which ban discrimination based on race or sex, the lawsuit states.”
Apparently it is oppression for people to even try to understand one’s cultural heritage.
“The Los Rios Community College District continues to enforce a moratorium on ‘images and reproductions of Native American human remains and cultural items’ after a new policy to narrow the ban was stalled, waiting for Native American tribal partners’ approval.
“The moratorium, which went into effect in October 2023, prohibits professors from teaching and researching using Native American cultural items, human remains and images or reproductions of these items or remains”.
