“Affirmative Action”

Nike is being investigated by the US government over allegations it discriminated against white employees and job applicants.

The company failed to respond properly to a subpoena seeking documents about its diversity programmes, including “race-restricted mentoring, leadership, or career development opportunities,” according to the US equal employment opportunity commission (EEOC).

The agency is seeking a court order to force the athletic footwear and clothing giant to hand over documents “related to systemic race discrimination”.

A Harvard professor who spent 40 years teaching at the Ivy League institution blasted the university for the changes it made after the Chinese coronavirus and George Floyd riots, citing woke, anti-white and anti-male resolutions in a searing essay announcing his retirement.

Professor James Hankins explained that his decision to retire was “not a sudden one,” and was made in the fall of 2021, after having “endured almost two years” of Harvard’s rules related to the coronavirus, which he called “tyrannous invasions of private life.”

Yes, so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion is on life support. President Trump’s executive orders have driven a stake through the heart of DEI programs in the federal government, and his agencies are steadily bringing universities, states, and cities to heel.

But woke policymakers are not giving up. A new tool is emerging to steer benefits and spending toward favored racial groups in the name of “equity.” The new tool is geography. 

The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) over a collective bargaining agreement giving preferential treatment to non-white teachers and shelling out other benefits based on race.

After settling a three-week strike of the Minnesota Federation of Teachers in 2022, MPS included a provision in new teacher contracts that let teachers who were not white bypass the normal system of layoffs and involuntary assignments (which are typically based on seniority), indicating the school system now has a policy of retaining racially “underrepresented” teachers over white teachers who have been there longer.

A civil rights complaint recently filed against the University of Central Arkansas alleges that 10 scholarships run by the public university illegally discriminate based on race or sex, appearing to favor female students or students of color.

The complaint uses screenshots taken from the school’s website to back up its claims, flagging scholarships that accept applicants who are specifically “African-American students,” “underserved minority students,” and “Hispanic minority students.”

“White teachers are not eligible.”

A lawsuit recently filed by the U.S. Department of Justice alleges that the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) and Providence Public School District (PPSD) violated federal law by establishing a loan forgiveness program that is open to every ethnicity—except whites.

Perhaps the name of the program—“Educators of Color Loan Forgiveness Program”— ought to have been a clue that it was incentivizing illegal discrimination.

Last week, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton joined MSNBC to opine that White, Christian men are the problem in America. “The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was…Dominated by, you know, let’s say it, white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology,” Clinton said. She added, “It’s just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for.”
