re: LSU renames the Office of Diversity & Inclusion

I've been at arm's length recently with 2x DEI peeps at my Alma Mater. When they're confronted with rational questions and have no choice but to respond with logic and reason, they literally run and hide... radio silence... they disappear... poof...

Unless you've witnessed this first-hand, it's hard to appreciate how cancerous this culture is. It is not an exaggeration. This article does a pretty fair job in describng it: LINK

• “The rot is everywhere, touching everything, a miasma of mandatory make-believe that has choked off the oxygen of rational inquiry.”
• "When everything is potentially offensive, all communication must be as indirect as possible, and the result is that clear communication using direct and precise language becomes impossible."
• "Academic discourse, characterized by impenetrable jargon at the best of times, has become a submarine mine field of accepted nomenclatures continuously evolving into deeply offensive expressions of various isms and phobias under the savage selective pressure of the rabid status games played by academics desperately scrambling after the small and shrinking number of jobs. Self-censorship, as everyone knows, has become pervasive - in an environment where yesterday's mandatory vocabulary is today's cancellable hate speech, the only safe expression is to say nothing."
• “Naturally the narrative is always false; it is precisely because it is false that it forbids even the discussion of alternatives, a taboo that expresses itself in the deplatforming or cancellation of deviants who dare "deny" the sacred narrative, or even to raise the most timid of questions about some minor aspect of it.”
