🧵As an NC journalist who pays attention, here's eight examples DEI/wokeness at Duke:

1. Duke Health Anti-Racism Pledge
In May 2021, Duke issued a pledge declaring "racism is a public health crisis"


Although allegedly "guided by science", under pushback from an adjunct associate, a "Duke Health senior administrator" made the following admission:

"I concede that I cannot find a randomized blinded trial that proves implicit bias is the cause of worse health outcomes for African Americans. Believe me. I have looked."

2. PRIME-PREP
One of Duke's "signature diversity initiatives"

This NIH funded program "provides focused research training opportunities for students from backgrounds historically underrepresented in science and medicine"



The NIH definition of "Underrepresented Populations" includes women, non-White/non-Asian racial groups, people with disabilities, and people from disadvantaged backgrounds


I believe a claim has been filed regarding this program with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR)

3. Alice M. Baldwin Scholars Program

@Mark_J_Perry has filed an OCR complaint about this Duke program for "female-identified undergraduate students"


The "advocacy" pillar of the program's objectives includes combatting "gender inequity", particularly "people with multiple marginalized identities"

4. Perry Initiative

After an OCR complaint against 12 universities, including Duke, for partnering with programs only open to applicants "gender-identify[ing] as female or non-binary", Duke claimed the event was opened to participant of any gender (or gender "identity")

5. Black Men in Medicine

Another OCR complaint has been filed against Duke for a racially exclusive initiative convened by the Vice Dean for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion to benefit black male faculty

6. Racial Justice Task Force

Created by the Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) Dean's Office and Office of Diversity & Inclusion

The task force's recommendations include "address[ing] bias, racism, microaggressions, health disparities, and antiracist training in every semester of every DUSON program of study"

7. Transitioning Children

As revealed by @EdFirstNC, the director of the Duke Center for Child and Adolescent Gender Care, Dr. Deanna Adkins, was quoted in a 2016 interview as having "transgender patients as young as 2"



A more recent pro-trans article highlighted 16-year-old "Maddie", who was first socially transitioned by her mother at the age of six, then later received "puberty blockers" at the university's child gender clinic

8. Safe Space for Child Castration Supporterss

In response to an NC law last year banning "surgical gender transition procedures" on minors, Duke Health held a "safe and supportive space" for the "wide range of reactions and emotions" being experienced

1/ On December 4, a 10-year Muslim convert made his way to the RDU airport to fly to Morocco and join the Islamic State in Africa

What the would-be jihadist didn't know is that his ISIS contacts were undercover FBI, and he'd been under surveillance for months
🧵🧵🧵 Image
2/ Alexander "Alec" Justin White aka "Sulaiman Al-Amriki," 29, of Durham, was arrested and charged with Providing, Attempting, and Conspiring to Provide Material Support to a Designated Foreign Terrorist Organization per court documents unsealed last week
thisweekinthetriangle.com/p/aspiring-jih…Image
3/ The rest of this thread is info from the DOJ's criminal complaint

Beyond that, all I found on White was an inactive voter registration in Orange Co.:
- white, male, Democrat
- born in NC
- voted in the 2016 Democratic primary and the 2016, 2018, and 2020 general elections Image

1/ Will the enforcers who trampled our rights in 2020 ever face consequences?

Today, the NC legislature nearly unanimously voted to promote one of the police chiefs behind the shutdown of the 1st Reopen NC event and arrest of a citizen for "non-essential" protesting
🧵🧵🧵 Image
2/ Bodycam video and court documents show then-Chief of the State Capitol Police R. E. "Chip" Hawley played a major role in the repression of the protest

Hawley was nominated as SBI Director by Cooper last year, but the confirmation was delayed till today

3/ April 14, 2020

Two weeks after Gov. Cooper unilaterally issued a stay-at-home order telling us not to leave our homes except for "essential activities", demonstrators (including myself) gathered in a parking lot near his mansion to protest

Are dementia-ridden seniors a possible explanation for the ActBlue zombie donor phenomenon?

Let's break this down before it becomes a narrative based on the evidence available and my experience finding and interviewing victims here in North Carolina Image

2023: Analysis of FEC data by citizen journalists revealed a pattern of high-quantity small-dollar contributions made by often unemployed & senior donors, sometimes totaling $100k+
When visited in person, many denied having made the reported donations
3/
 Independent journalists like myself have documented interviews with fixed-income retirees who say they simply couldn't afford to make the contributions attributed to them, like a retired Democrat fundraiser reported to have given $26,204.07 in two years

1/ The City of Durham will be paying $1 million+ in reparations to black applicants who failed an entry exam for firefighters

The DOJ says the 4th grade level questions on reading, writing, math, etc. "disparately impacted" black applicants, who were 3x more likely to fail🧵🧵🧵 Image
2/ The complaint filed Monday by the DOJ in the federal court alleges that the city "unintentionally engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination against African-American applicants" by "making hiring decisions based on a written examination"
3/ ~37% of black applicants were eliminated from the hiring process for scoring under 70% on the exam vs ~11% of white applicants

The lowest scores were further eliminated if the interview slots were exceeded, this knocked out ~32% of black applicants vs ~14% of white applicants Image

1/10 Patriot Front is a white nationalist group known for their performative vandalism and costume-coordinated marches

But are they all feds? The case of a North Carolina member who was just arrested and charged may be illuminative
🧵🧵🧵
2/10 Kai Liam Nix was charged with four federal felonies and removed from the Army after left-wing journalists reached out to the Army based on information provided by the antifa researchers at Appalachia Research Collective

3/10 Nix is being charged under 18 U.S. Code § 1001(a)(2) for allegedly lying on a background check form for being a "member of a group dedicated to the use of violence or force to overthrow the United States Government"

(This would presumably be PF, but it's not confirmed) Image
