Universities are supposed to be places of learning, of questioning, of understanding. Once upon a time, someone who went to a university was someone worthy of being looked up to to some degree, especially since most people didn’t have the opportunity to go.
Instead, we find them now to be little more than factories of indoctrination; places where wonderful students walk in and activists walk out.
Sure, many escape the brainwashing, but others don’t. What’s more, it’s not just in undergrad programs, either. It seems UCLA Medical School has fully embraced the stupid and seems intent on ramping it up based on a recent speaker they hosted.
This just in: Queen’s University medical school is changing its admission process to increase diversity.
“One of Canada’s top medical schools says it is changing its admissions process, hoping to reduce “systemic barriers” facing low-income and diverse candidates seeking to become doctors.”

What does DEI mean?

Didn’t Earn It
Some people see it as an opportunity to rule a burned-out building.
There seems to be some evidence that those institutions — profit or non-profit — that suffer ideological capture by DEI are at a serious competitive disadvantage, as the work environment becomes toxic, competent people are driven out, and the institution increasingly deviates from its central purpose. Sometimes it collapses entirely under the weight of this ideological cult.
aaaaaand then along come master liberal justin TURDeau and hands over all the cash they need to make up the difference. public policy, administering a nation on whims.
It is the classic fallacy of our time that a moron run through a university and decorated with a Ph.D. will thereby cease to be a moron

Ugh! Had roughly the same experience while attending my son’s graduation ceremony. Before commencement we were all held hostage to a 30 minute incoherent lecture from Chief “Marbles in Mouth” about how evil Whitey was and still is and of course a prayer to the deity dujour. I thought I heard “turtle” but I could be wrong.
You know you’re in for the long haul when he opened with “If you were at a Tim Hortons today…be sure to thank a native, because it was built on our land.” Yeah, I’ll get right on that Chief.
Good to know I wasn’t the only one rolling my eyes.
