MIT Will Be Hosting a DEI Debate… and Their DEI Deans Refuse to Attend

In case you were wondering how much DEI really matters to the “experts,” the answer is: not a lick…

Seems like it’s just another virtue-signaling ruse that’s only touted and fought for when it’s convenient. Who knew?!?!?

From The College Fix:

A debate on diversity, equity and inclusion is scheduled to soon take place at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

An esteemed panel of scholars will tackle the question: “Should academic DEI programs be abolished?”

One group of individuals who will not be defending DEI at the upcoming event is the phalanx of highly paid diversity, equity and inclusion deans at MIT.

They were asked. They declined.

The April 4 debate, co-hosted by the MIT Adam Smith Society and MIT Free Speech Alliance and to be held in the Wong Auditorium, will instead feature an esteemed panel that includes pro-DEI debaters to be brought in from outside the campus community.

Although the DEI deans did not respond to a request for comment, their reasoning for refusing to debate the topic on their own campus may have been spelled out by John Dozier, MIT’s chief diversity officer.

“We also learned of a debate that will be happening on campus in a few weeks over what I think is an utterly false binary of ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ versus ‘merit, fairness, and equality.’ A number of people, including me, were invited to participate in this event last year. We declined based on the framing, but it fueled our thinking about how to set the right conditions for a discussion — avoiding simplified versions of issues and concentrating on a format that will broaden attendees’ perspectives rather than on having one side ‘win,’” Dozier said in a March 15 news release announcing his own set of conversations to be held on campus.

The more I read, watch, and listen these days, the more I find myself only really craving one thing: sincerity.

If you’re gonna “fight” for something, then please actually believe what it is you’re spewing. I’m sick of listening to people go on, and on, and on about how much they supposedly “care” about something until crunch time comes…

When the sh*t hits the fan, they scatter like roaches. When their ideas are questioned or challenged, they evaporate, or worse, they have a *very* public meltdown over it.

Progressive ideas crash, burn, and disintegrate under scrutiny. We already know this, but we’ve gotten to the point where its proponents are unwilling to even attempt to defend said ideas.

These people have gotten too comfortable. The morons that subscribe to their ideology do so without questioning it. Not my style.
