SCOOP: Florida International University has adopted radical DEI programming that condemns the United States as a system of "white supremacy," segregates scholarships and student programs by race, and trains students for participation in violent left-wing protests.

Thread. 🧵

The story begins with the death of George Floyd. As riots spread, the university held a racially segregated discussion program—one for "self-identified People of Color," another for "self-identified White Students"—to induct students into the ideology of left-wing racialism.

The university's DEI bureaucrats published an official "Inclusive Language Guide" that condemns words such as "husband," "wife," "mother," "father," "Mr.," and "Mrs.," as "non-inclusive." Instead, students are told to use the words "partner," "caregivers," "Mx.," and "they/them."

DEI bureaucrats launched programs to turn students into cadres for left-wing activism. They created a Social Justice Badge Program, which recruits, trains, and deploys student activists with the goal achieving the "redistribution of power" and "equity," or equal outcomes.

The content of these programs is pure left-wing racialism. The seminar materials begin with "land acknowledgements," promote the Black Lives Matter movement, and describe life in the United States as a system of "Power, Privilege, and Oppression."

In this narrative, white Christians are the oppressor—the lessons describe "Judeo-Christian holidays" as a form of "cultural imperialism"—and "trans," "non-binary," and "Black people" are the oppressed. Whites must confront their "privilege"; minorities must seize "power."

The goal is political agitation. In a training titled "Grassroots Activism and Protest Safety," the DEI bureaucrats encourage students to engage in protests to "advocate for diversity and inclusion." They valorize only left-wing causes, such as BLM, #MeToo, and anti-gun activism.

FIU encourages students to target "elected officials, government staff, and outside interest groups" with their messages and to prepare for physical violence. "Bring a bandana to cover nose and mouth," the lesson reads. "Download a messaging app that has end to end encryption."

FIU has also created what amounts to a racial spoils system. Some scholarships are explicitly segregated by race. One is for "minority doctoral candidates" only—no whites need apply. Another denies all students who are not "African American or Hispanic." This is illegal.
