Argus Posted June 9, 2019 Report Posted June 9, 2019 Henceforth, grants will only be awarded to universities which agree to hire, promote, and push forward young academics who meet their diversity quotas. Merit, being a racist white concept, is not included in the criteria, of course. https://fcpp.org/2019/06/09/canadian-government-imposes-social-justice-on-all-universities/ 1 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley

Human Rights. Yet we need them. Just don’t let it ge out of control. Meeting diversity targets is empowerment by education. Basically you sell stories about cultural values and collect money to support the culture. That’s Information Age. Just hope the going doesn’t get too rough. If you stifle talent by decree, the intelligentsia will create a new and better society, and the old fights will disappear. It’s not really left versus right anymore. It’s the technocrats versus the populists. The populists will become the technocrats and morph into something else. It’s all just war of ideas education by persuasion now. Information Age. McLuhan predicted this. Quote

Ha, Conservatives the new real social justice warriors. The truth is if they take over the environmental agenda, it’ll actually get done. Lol. Be careful what you wish for. Quote

When a business is forced to hire minorities because of government policies they are not being allowed to hire people of merit or whom they want to hire. Business people are being forced to hire people by what minority group that they belong too now rather than what merit they may bring to any business. This is true liberalism bull chit at work. But hey, what more can Be said, eh? Quote

You raise an important point. I still remember a white girl I knew in school in the 90’s submitting an article with an African pseudonym. It got published and this girl believed it was in part because she used a name from a “marginalized culture.” I also remember in my writing program there was a male student who won an award under a female pseudonym. He then had the award revoked when it came out that he was actually a man. I think this is the problem we get into when works are judged, even if only partly, on the basis of the names/identities of the creators. There should be a law that all assignments/works are judged blindly without reference to the author. That would be true fairness. Once you take merit out of the equation as the sole determinant, you end up with too many opportunities for abuses. We’ve had affirmative action for decades now. More women are in universities than men. Most workplaces have had policies to raise employment levels of minorities. Now we have all these lost unemployed white men causing shit because they feel mistreated. Do we really want to continue down this road? Edited June 10, 2019 by Zeitgeist Quote
