Now that is what you call ironic. This sorority accused a sister of racism after she anonymously criticized its woke agenda. Then they learned she’s not white.
What's the opposite of diversity? University.
So it is a sorority on the Wesleyan University campus. So slightly to the Left of Lenin as a jumping off point. But they had to buff up their diversity creds so, they appointed a diversity chair and set about to promote social activism. Criticism was NOT allowed.
Though eventually they did have an anonymous feedback form. They didn't like what they found.
Despite the anonymity of their critic, leadership harshly denounced her as a racist, demanding that she immediately come forward and leave the sorority.
Here, it is evident that those who condemned this individual immediately concluded that she was a white racist as her feedback did not fall in line with the politically correct consensus on racial discourse. However, much to the dismay of the sorority, the author of the form is, in fact, a woman of color.
Diversity: only as long as you think the thoughts we tell you to think.
And she did leave the sorority because they made her feel unsafe. (That is the magic word today...)
The fallout has been poetic justice, a kind of justice you don't see much today. When she left the sorority, she produced statement about how the diversity chair made people feel unsafe to even ask questions, such as "What is politically correct?" Only one other person has asked to leave the sorority, but opinion of the sorority is tanking.
She expressed vindication for her initial response contending Rho Epsilon was not acting to dismantle biases, but rather acting in a “performative and hyper-polarized manner” that was a result of cynical posturing and “closed-minded” judgement as opposed to genuine concern.
The "leadership" hasn't been able to explain what went wrong with their diversity efforts, and how those efforts ended with asking a "woman of color" to leave the organization. Which from my point of view is a delicious bit of schadenfreude.
Another story that will be dispatched to the memory hole.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter how many times they do stupid things like this, because they are beyond reproach. They won't be reprimanded and the people in charge of supervising "Greek life" on campus will look the other way and like Sgt Schultz they will say "I see nothing!"
Unless your son is s STEM genius, there is no reason for him to attend college, and even then it's dicey. And there is no reason whatsoever to send your daughters to college. None. They will destroy her and you won't recognize her when they're with her.
