DEI = Racism

There is ZERO reason for him to make that a public statement. I know juuuuuuuuust a little about this.

But I 'm old school. Regardless, I will become unsafe to make those kinds of decisions in another 7 months.

I understand what you’re saying. He could have just kept it simple and less detailed but if I were a passenger I would have appreciated the pilot making the decision not to go.

Good.

Purity statements aimed at weeding out those not willing to judge others based on their skin color have no place in Education.

University of Michigan eliminates DEI statements as part of faculty hiring

The University of Michigan will no longer ask for diversity statements as part of its hiring process and when considering promotion and tenure. University Provost Laurie McCauley announced the decision Thursday following the recommendation of an eight-member faculty working group.

University of Michigan ends diversity statements in hiring amid DEI cuts

Move comes as board of regents is expected to weigh other rollbacks to the university’s DEI initiatives

www.theguardian.com

Michigan’s DEI programs have come under scrutiny after a Times investigation foundthat the university had spent a quarter of a billion dollars since 2016 on DEI efforts, 56% of which went to salaries and benefits for DEI staff. But Black student enrollment, for instance, has hovered near 5% for nearly a decade (it’s currently at 6.1%).

University of Michigan Ends Required Diversity Statements

The school, a bastion of D.E.I., will no longer require the statements in hiring decisions and is considering a broader shift in its policies.

So michigan spent $250 MILLION dollars to increase their black enrollment by 1%. $130- $140 MILLION of which went directly in the pockets of the minority bureaucrats that did nearly nothing the entire time except steal the university blind and hate white people especially white men. I am sure when they finally wake up to reality and fire those responsible, those DEI executives can look forward to long careers with the Dimwit Party at either the state or federal level. After all...what they did is EXACTLY what Dimwit Congressmen do every day:

1. Hate white people especially men.

2. Sow division constantly based on identitity politics.

3. Stuff their pockets with millions of dollars which they never worked a single second to earn.

Sounds like Michigan is basically the "G league" for the Democrat Party. A developmental spot to get them ready for the Big League lies and grift.

*** also the Chairman of the Playoff Committee this year is Michigans AD. Which is why Ohio State only fell 4 spots for losing to an unranked Mich team at HOME....But UGA fell 9 spots for losing to top 15 team Ole Miss on the ROAD. This nearly ensures that we have to go on the road in the 1st round...instead of the buckeyes. Michigans AD is a real POS. See: Connor Stallions Scandal and cover up.

We had a flight home from Costa Rica cancelled last year. They put us up in a hotel overnight and tried to fit as many of us as possible on a flight the following day. While we sat in the plane on the runway, the pilot came over intercom and said something to the effect of: "I apologize for the delay, with all the extra weight on board, we're having to do the fuel math to make sure we get to our destination."

My wife went pale, looked at me and said, "I wish he's just said sorry and left out the why."

lol

He would be in be in my office doing some splainin’ after that speech if I were the Chief Pilot. Not on the no-go but on airing dirty laundry in public.

" Sorry if your entrées are running a little behind tonight folks...we had to kill a huge rat in the kitchen and his blood went everywhere. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Tip your servers though."

They offered the expected “she didnt do nothin” defense - but then went on about protected speech and first amendment rights.

Elon Musk Urges Supporters Not To Donate to Wikipedia after it Spent $50M on DEI: ‘Wokepedia’​

Elon Musk urged his supporters not to donate to the nonprofit that runs Wikipedia after the organization budgeted more than $50 million to spend on controversial diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

“Stop donating to Wokepedia until they restore balance to their editing authority,” Musk wrote Tuesday on X, where he has nearly 210 million followers.

The Tesla mogul, and key adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, was responding to a post by the right-leaning commentator “Libs of TikTok,” who shared a pie chart that showed 29% of Wikipedia’s $177 million budget for 2023-24 was targeted for “equity” and “safety & inclusion.“

Elon wants to buy it, probably trying to get a better deal for himself

I always get a prompt for a donation when I open it and how much they are in jeopardy for keeping it going..what a joke.

Musk doesn't understand the Streisand effect or that people who would listen to his opinion on this likely do not donate to Wiki and that people that dislike him will donate because he said not to.

Not surprised you would have this question.
