Christopher Rufo has done a fantastic job posting screenshots of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) training, mostly from public schools but often meant for teachers so they can integrate things like critical race theory and academic queer theory into their classrooms.
On his way out the door, President Donald Trump ordered all funding pulled from government agencies that were paying for seminars on critical race theory. Of course, that was reversed the second Joe Biden got his hands on a pen. Nevertheless, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is pulling funding for DEI departments from Florida public universities.
Biblical studies professor Doug Ponder shared a shot of a page from a friend’s DEI training. Earth is going to blow up tomorrow, and you can only fit eight of 12 people on your escape rocket. Whom do you choose to save? The accountant with the substance abuse problem? The accountant’s pregnant wife? A 21-year-old female Muslim international student? A 60-year-old Jewish university administrator? The racist armed police officer who has been accused of using excessive force?
A friend of mine, who works in a public university, sent this to me earlier this week 👇🏻
It's p. 1 of the DEI training his department is forced to take, starting w/ an exercise that asks which intersectional identities you'd save and which you'd leave to die.

Yeah, bro. I asked his permission to share because I think people need to see just how bad things have gotten in major government-supported institutions.
Easy to think the folks calling this stuff out are Chicken Littles, but they're not when these things are really happening!

It’s just a lesson in privilege: You learn about your white privilege by leaving behind the Native American because she doesn’t speak English. Being white and having English as your first language is white privilege, the basis of all American institutions.
That is ridiculous trash.

Only the medical student has a useful skill for colonizing a new planet. The rest can pack sand, regardless of their fucking identities.

I can't believe there are "professors" that are teaching this tripe.

If this is real, the only thing it's training someone to be is a egomaniac supremacist who thinks they get to decide such things…any moral person would refuse to make the decision.

The subjects should refuse to answer. WOKENESS is a disease, and diseased people should be treated, not left to run loose and attack others with their demented ideas.

Too bad "DEI Administrator" isn't on that list. That would be an easy one to rule out.

One of my classes in high school had a similar activity (but without the diversity box-checking), and I refused to participate. If a painfully shy teenager could stand up to it, adults should have the gumption to refuse to participate.

Is the point of the exercise to "correctly identify who *should* be saved" or is the point of the exercise to uncover your biases?

Do I have to take eight or can I just take a couple and leave the rest?

It’s a ridiculous scenario meant to reveal your hidden biases. It’s the same thing they do with privilege worksheets, in which public school students check off all of the characteristics they have that make them either privileged or oppressed. And companies and universities and government agencies pay thousands of dollars for this “training,” which will be forgotten in a day.
