Charlie Kirk spent his life saying some of the most vile,despicable things about people who look like me. His “views” were an affront to my dignity . He was a white supremacist. PERIOD.

Being a racist and espousing white supremacist views is not “a difference of opinion about politics”. Charlie Kirk was klansman in a Tom Ford suit.

Comparing that I was still getting questions about why I study Black people on the job market, I think I'm calling malarky.
"DEI on campus ... was starting to act like many faculty members' direct supervisor and telling them how and what to teach"
I'm sorry, what?
I've never experienced this myself and I've never heard another faculty member anywhere ever complain about anything remotely like this.

I know it's a right-wing, anti-DEI talking point, but do regular people think this? That DEI offices were auditing faculty syllabi and ordering them what to teach? Maybe I'm naive, but that level of detailed attention and oversight sounds far-fetched to me from any higher ed admin unit.

The story behind the database began with our need to understand how many “segregation academies" still operate.

It shouldn’t be lost on anyone that rappers are essentially being sent to jail for lyrics and Drake trying to further penalize rap lyrics is dangerous and as opp-y a move imaginable.

“Most people my age just kind of scribble.” California’s youngest voters were disproportionately likely to have their signatures flagged and their mail ballots not counted in the November election — and my latest looks at why. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...
“Most people my age just kind of scribble." Signatures were a sticking point for young California voters this year
In California, voters younger than 25 made up 10% of the November electorate, but had nearly 3 in 10 of the ballots set aside for signature problems, a new survey shows.
