SCOOP: University of South Florida created a racially segregated psychological conditioning program and explicitly denied entry to a white student on the basis of race. "Unfortunately, we do need to keep this space specific to BIPOC folks," said USF psychologist Darleen Gracia.
University civil rights compliance officers found that holding racially segregated counseling groups was a violation of civil rights law. But the USF Counseling Center has not backed down and is still brazenly promoting segregated programs. They must be brought to heel.

The University of Central Florida has adopted radical DEI programming that segregates students by race, condemns America as "white-supremacist culture," and encourages active discrimination against the "male, White, heterosexual, able-bodied, and Christian" oppressor class.

🧵
Officially, UCF reports that it has 14 separate DEI programs, costing in the aggregate more than $4 million per year. But this dramatically understates the reality, which is that the ideology of left-wing racialism has been entrenched everywhere.
After George Floyd, UCF's academic departments pledged themselves to BLM, blasted the "anti-Blackness at the heart of US white-supremacist culture," promised to interrogate their "power and privilege," and denounced white "hegemonic systems," in favor of "cultural relativism."

The Atlantic is carefully and cautiously warming to my position on abolishing the DEI bureaucracy.

Many writers at prestige left-liberal publications loathe CRT/DEI, but, following the advice of Strauss, can only express it esoterically. Worth reading in that spirit.
In the aftermath of the George Floyd riots, many left-liberal publications fell victim to ideological derangement, endorsing self-destructive ideas and causes such as "defund the police" and "sex changes for kids."

Now they're starting to pull it back in.
These writers are in a dilemma: they must sufficiently caveat their writing and maintain a certain distance from political conservatives—the barbarians at the gate—while subtly agreeing with the basic conservative premise and position, hoping to reclaim it for the center-left.

The University of South Florida has adopted radical DEI programming that segregates students by race and promotes the idea that white students should think "I feel bad for being white" and "it's not my fault I’m white" as part of their "racial identity development."

Thread.🧵
I have obtained a trove of public documents exposing USF's radical DEI programming, much of which, according to the Wayback Machine, the university tried to delete from its website following Florida governor Ron DeSantis's recent request for information about university DEI.
The first step in this programming is the condemnation of American society. Following the death of George Floyd, nearly every appendage of USF condemned the United States for its supposed "systemic racism," "white supremacy," and "interlocking systems of oppression."

One of my goals this year is to teach other conservatives how to run successful activism campaigns. As a first step, I made this video explaining the strategy behind our new campaign to abolish DEI bureaucracies in public universities. Hope it's helpful:
The premise of my approach is that there are three "lines of effort": the narrative line (emotion); the policy line (intellect); the action line (will). The successful activist hopes to drive all three lines to converge on a stated goal: in my case, abolishing DEI bureaucracy.
For this campaign, I'm publishing a series of investigative reports to make the problem salient (narrative), my @ManhattanInst colleagues have helped design great model language (policy), and legislators are courageously moving the idea through the democratic process (action).

SCOOP: Florida State University has adopted a radical DEI program that divides Americans along a "matrix of oppression," castigates Christians for their "Christian privilege," and offers racially segregated scholarships that deliberately bar white students from applying.

🧵
Officially, Florida State administrators have claimed in a recent report to Governor Ron DeSantis that they support 23 separate DEI initiatives. But I have obtained documents through public records and FOIA requests showing that the ideology has embedded itself everywhere.
One representative program is FSU’s "Social Justice Ally Training," which recapitulates the critical-race-theory narrative: American oppressors have created a society of "racism, classism, religious oppression, sexism, heterosexism, gender oppression, ableism, [and] xenophobia."

This comment reveals the fundamental blindspot of the "centrist" mind. New College is a public university. The state literally controls it. The implication is that the public should not have power over the government—which is, in other words, bureaucratic tyranny.
The myth of neutrality is so strong, otherwise intelligent people mistake left-wing bureaucratic dominance over state institutions as a "free marketplace of ideas." The first task for conservatives is to dispel this myth & reveal the true nature of the status quo. Then change it.
Frey's comment is particularly funny because she's arguing, in essence, that the governor should not interfere with the government. No understanding that, in fact, in a democratic republic, people elect the governor to lead and sometimes reform the government. Centrist mindset.
