Diversity director says she was fired from California college for questioning antiracism 'orthodoxy'

The director of a California college’s Office of Equity, Social Justice and Multicultural Education says she was terminated after she began questioning the school's antiracism "orthodoxy," declined to join a "socialist network" and refused to use the term "Latinx."

De Anza College, a community college in Cupertino, California, allegedly retaliated against Tabia Lee after she objected to multiple campus inclusion policies.

She told Inside Higher Ed that she lost her job after she objected to the college’s land acknowledgments for an Indigenous tribe, attempted to bring a "Jewish inclusion" event to campus, declined to join a "socialist network," refused to use the terms "Latinx" and "Filipinx" and questioned why the word "black" was capitalized but not "white."

"I no longer participate in gender pronouns because I find that the same toxic ideologies around race ideologies are now being advanced under gender ideologies; I also find that the constant obsession with pronouns and declaration of pronouns causes deep discomfort for individuals who identify as gender-fluid or who struggle with gender dysphoria," she said.

And you wonder why Californians are so stupid.

 

(Prediction: The same extra chromosome goose stepping liberals here will put up some bullshit link from THE VIEW that has nothing to do with this subject.)

Just an opinion and all but CA has too many community colleges and mid level institutions.

Community colleges at least provide paying careers with minimal cost.

Those Universities charge six figures for Lesbian Dance Theory degrees, and that won't get you a burger flipping job.

No wonder Californians are the dumbest people in America.

Do you know why they charge so much? 

 

There is an answer and it is not because they simply want to screw someone over? Hint.... it has to do with what they pay employees after they retire.

There is only ONE reason why colleges (and doctors and hospitals) are able to price gouge the public. ONLY ONE.

The Government subsidizes colleges with welfare and student loans. Without those, colleges would be FORCED to base their tuition on what regular people could afford and NOT the deep pockets of government.

Budgetary concerns about retirements is something EVERY company has to deal with. It doesn't help that professors WHO RARELY EVEN TEACH CLASSES, make such huge salaries and are tenured. Let an average independent company pull that crap and it's out of business.

They are PUBLIC sector employees. The Public sector pensions in CA are disproportionately generous. With that coming out of your budget.. you have to make it up somewhere else. Now combine that with student loans which are easy to get and the environment is set for having prices increase. However, the pension system is what drives up the cost of labor especially for those staff that are tenured or have been there a long time. On the converse side of that.. in Nevada (where I live and work), the pension system is not nearly as generous and getting tenure is not nearly as easy as it in CA.

AGAIN, management of ANY company, public sector or  private sector, still has to deal with retirements and  pensions. Not all colleges and universities are public sector, by the way. There are a lot of private colleges doing very well, and graduating much better educated grads.

 

The student loans and other government welfare are what make colleges public sector institutions in the first place.

Most colleges/universities in CA are public. Most, not all. They did it to themselves. They made the cost of labor too expensive and are now passing the cost on to the consumer thinking that they will pay the cost no matter how high it gets.

Again, this was ONLY made possible by the government subsidizing bad business practices with student loans, Pell Grants and other WELFARE which shields the college from market forces.

Take all that away, and you'll be amazed at how quickly colleges cut the fat in order to keep the doors open. A little bit of private sector free market capitalism goes a long way.

The overly generous CA public sector pension system predates what you speak of. It came about in 1972. The Clinton Administration brought about student loans being easier to get. 

 

When I taught at University of Nevada.. I asked why we had such a hard time getting quality staff (no matter the dept or task). The answer was that we could not compete with the overly generous benefits and pensions in CA. Candidates would choose Cal St. Fullerton over us for that exact reason.

You were competing with the government. Kinda hard to achieve a market share when the country's taxpayers are subsidizing your competition.
