    Diversity, equity, and inclusion, (when not politicized) aren’t bad. But how they are interpreted through CRT is bad → by claiming all white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racism. Currently diversity, equity, and inclusion officialdom insist that schools frequently serve as little more than engines of systemic racism. As MLK pointed out Equal opportunity is the right way to go. It turns MLK’s dream: “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” inside out and changes it to: I look to a day when people will not be judged by the content of their character, but by the color of their skin. I worked for Equal Opportunity, universities and businesses for 50+ years and would sign their equal opportunity forms and I believed in equal opportunity and hired accordingly. But I would never ever sign a DEI LOYALTY OATH.

    Most accreditors for the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) now require DEI, (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity), as a condition of accreditation for private K–12 schools, and NAIS further requires each trustee to pledge fealty to “equity and justice” as a condition of serving on a school board. Most college accreditation agencies require a commitment to affirmative action and diversity in admissions and faculty recruitment. The American Bar Association has proposed requiring law schools to implement DEI in admissions, hiring, and promotion. The American Medical Association is taking steps to ensure the same in medical schools.

    The consequences of these LOYALTY OATHS and diversity programs are profound. Abigail Thompson, chair of the math department at UC Davis, warned that the hiring committee at the school is using applicants’ diversity scores to eliminate applicants. At UC Berkeley, an applicant’s commitment to being color- and gender-blind is insufficient: Rather, a commitment as a condition of accreditation for private K–12 schools, and NAIS further requires each trustee to pledge fealty to “equity and justice” as a condition of serving on a school board.

    This push to vaccinate children is happening despite overwhelming data showing that they are at near-zero risk from COVID-19. According to the CDC, between August 2020 and August 2021, 1,790 minors were hospitalized with COVID-19 and a total of eight in-hospital deaths were recorded related to the virus. There are roughly 73 million children in the country making the annual risk of hospitalization about 0.0025%. Is there any innocent explanation for this child vaccine push? Is the most innocent explanation that Pfizer is overcome with greed? It is not anti-vax misinformation that we need to be worried about.

    Democrats have already voted unanimously to reject vaccine mandates for illegal aliens crossing the boarder. Why? when these illegals are much more likely to get infected and need hospitalization? Where is the “science”?

    Over 95 percent of American seniors, and 78.2 percent of American adults have gotten at least one covid shot. That does not include the almost 50 million that got the virus and have immunity. The high and medium risk population is now quite well covered.

    In the 50’s and 60’s the polio vaccine / sugar cube never came close. Even now, currently eligible children who received a polio vaccine in 2020 was 83 percent. WHAT! – no federal mandate for the polio vaccine?

    Remember when Rand Paul accused Flip-Flop Fauci of misleading Congress by denying that the U.S. had funded gain-of-function projects at the Wuhan Institute of Virology? And now the NIH admits it happened.

    We now have the LGBQ+ claiming they are afraid, angry, and scared of anyone who is a “cisgender” getting near them. Civil rights used to be about treating everyone the same. But today some people are so used to special treatment that equal treatment is considered to be discrimination.
