The University of Saskatchewan’s law school allows some of its Indigenous students to take more time on exams for the purpose of “equity.” So, when this blew up into a faculty controversy in 2022, with proponents of the benefit aghast that anyone would ever question the idea as others quietly made their concerns known to student leaders, one member of the law school tried to make peace between the factions — only to be punished by the university for his efforts.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has done something truly conservative. His government’s proposed rule changes for colleges, universities and school boards are aimed squarely at shifting power away from the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) crowd and weakening their control over education.
It’s welcome news for anyone who thinks that public education should be about learning and diversity of ideas, not a playground for political activists.
I hope he’s right.
The police forces should not “mirror” society but “protect” it.
Officials hoping to change police entry requirements to increase diversity are facing pressure from Sweden Democrat politicians who stress that forces should not “mirror” society but “protect” it.
A new report from Sweden’s National Audit Office complains that one-fifth of female applicants to the police fail the strength test—which involves lifting a weight from the ground to the chin—and that one in three applicants with a foreign background fail the aptitude test.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are the new buzzwords of the day, expressing our modern woke culture and society.
But for the next four years, DEI will DIE, but perhaps resurrect under a future Democrat administration.
DEI has “DIEd” since President Donald Trump has “shut down all DEI offices across the federal government.”

When it emerged as the guiding organisational principle of the British state, multiculturalism was sold, in the words of the hugely influential Parekh Report, as “perhaps the country’s biggest single national advantage”. The arrival of peoples from all over the world, bringing with them their unique perspectives, cuisines, religions, dresses, and cultures, would allow Britain to move on from “a narrow, English-dominated backward-looking definition of the nation” into something altogether more vibrant and exciting. Multiculturalism was to “widen a society’s range of options and increase its freedom of choice, for it brings different cultural traditions into a mutually beneficial dialogue and stimulates new ideas and experiences”. All those within society would thereby gain the opportunity to escape the narrow constraints of the culture they happened to be born into, instead becoming free to choose from the plethora of practices they would encounter every day, in doing so creating all sorts of dynamic new cultural mixes.

Senior officers in West Yorkshire Police intervened to ensure that an ethnic minority candidate who failed her interview was given the job, according to leaked documents seen by The Telegraph.
The female officer was initially rejected but eventually given a post after her case was taken up by the force’s chief officer team, which includes Chief Constable John Robins.
To get around her failure, West Yorkshire Police then scrapped interviews for officers transferring to the force, the documents show.
Speech First has uncovered records from more than 50 public medical schools across 46 states, revealing that these institutions are training left-wing advocates who prioritize race in treatment, promote gender identities contrary to biology, and downplay obesity’s health risks. As its report shows, under the guise of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), medical schools enforce conformity to leftist ideologies, such as labeling all white men as racists or disconnecting gender from biological sex. It also shows that free speech is on life support, with dissenters of these ideas and practices facing far-reaching consequences.
Long before he entered politics, Mark Carney was a full-throated supporter of social engineering via progressive policy. His platform, released Monday, has confirmed that his government will be no different in that regard than that of Justin Trudeau.
Carney’s plan shallowly pushes diversity both in form and in substance. Form-wise, his platform alleges itself to have been “reviewed through an equity lens using a GBA+ analysis,” meaning that for each commitment has been mulled over extensively by the privilege police.
The costed Conservative election platform released this week largely eschews the hyperpolarizing language that had defined Pierre Poilievre until recently. The word “broken” shows up seven times in the 30-page document, but nowhere does the Tory platform apply that descriptor to Canada as a whole, as Mr. Poilievre had been endlessly doing until the federal election campaign began. Rather, the platform refers to “broken” Liberal promises and our “broken” immigration and health care systems. Hard to take issue with that.
Hundreds of companies are deliberately shunning white men for jobs amid pressure to make workplaces more diverse, a survey has found.
A poll of 1,216 of American businesses with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies found that one in 10 avoid hiring white men altogether and six in 10 human resource (HR) managers put diversity over qualifications when selecting candidates.
The study, conducted by website Resume Builder, also found that one in three HR managers believe that “reverse discrimination” occurs because of DEI policies. Three-quarters suspect that these policies were introduced “in part for appearances”.
DEI, even going back to when the approved acronym was DIE (yes, it was that not so long ago), has always been a scam.
By that, I don’t mean that it was a well-meaning policy intended to accomplish one goal that unintentionally spawned a scam, like Affirmative Action. Affirmative action was a misconceived solution to a genuine problem for which there was no good solution other than time.
We all think we know what is causing the breakdown of the planet’s climate: burning fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide, change the chemistry of the air and trap more heat from the sun, leading to rising temperatures.
But Tao Leigh Goffe, an associate professor of Africana, Puerto Rican and Latino Studies at the City University of New York, wants us to visualise a far more specific cause: the shunting of a ship’s prow on to the sandbank of a paradise island in 1492.
In Dark Laboratory, her groundbreaking new book, Goffe argues that it was the colonisation of the Americas by Christopher Columbus that set off the chain of events that has led us to where we stand today, on the precipice of global catastrophe.
The Diversifying Higher Education Equality in Illinois program, which provides financial aid exclusively to minority graduate students pursuing careers in higher education, is under fire for its race-based eligibility criteria, as it does not allow white applicants.

A dark web user has claimed responsibility for briefly hacking New York University’s website Saturday, and replacing it with what appeared to be student test scores and an apparent racial epithet.
Instead of the usual images of college athletes and the Greenwich Village campus, the site instead featured a black background with green writing showing a message along with charts of what were purported to be SAT and ACT scores and GPAs for students in 2024, divided by race.
