After the growing backlash to DEI, the Cleveland Cavaliers told NBC News that while other organizations may be moving on, the NBA team was sticking with the racist program. In 2023, Cavaliers CEO Nic Barlage vowed to tie DEI metrics to bonuses and make sure that DEI would be “organically woven within the DNA of your culture.” “It is just how we go about things,” said Kevin Clayton, the Cavs’ chief DEI officer, who, like most equity bureaucrats, is black, explained. “We believe that everybody in our organization, every person in our community, is part of our diversity, equity and inclusion story.” What does that actually mean? According to their DEI website, the Cavs promise that “our team members at all levels mirror the demographics of the communities that we live and work in.” The Cavs have 13 out of 17 black players making for a 76% black team in a half black city. 45.8% of Cleveland is black, 36% is white and 13% is Latino. To truly “mirror the demographics” of Cleveland, the Cavs ...

The ‘Healthy Masculinity Club’ at a Portland high school is described as a “place for guys to not be guys” while the ‘Healthy Masculinity’ class at Montpelier High School in Vermont indoctrinates boys on “how traditional concepts of masculinity have harmed women.” The ‘Healthy Masculinity’ movement is a component of DEI, but it has attracted less attention and controversy than other ‘woke’ indoctrination programs that target ‘whiteness’ and teach racism or promote pornographic sexual identity programming. Nevertheless it may be even more destructive than all of the other high school DEI programs put together. Much like ‘whiteness’ courses, the premise of ‘Healthy Masculinity’ is that there is something wrong with being a man. A Call to Men, for example, defines masculinity as a ‘Man Box’ in which men are “expected to be strong, successful, powerful, dominating, fearless, in control, and emotionless” that men have to “break out of” to end their ‘toxic masculinity’. The Tucson Unified S...

DEI is so unpopular that it’s being renamed. Like a mafia informant hiding out from his old pals, some consultants are trying to rebrand DEI as IDE. There are only so many ways to move the same letters around to form an acronym that isn’t as lethal in connotation as IED or DIE. And if IDE doesn’t work out, expect to see some EID offices around before long. Conservative states have started cracking down on DEI offices at publicly funded colleges, and so the University of Iowa now calls its DEI office the “Division of Access, Opportunity and Diversity” while the University of Oklahoma renamed its racism stronghold the “Division of Access and Opportunity.’ At the University of Tennessee, it’s the “Division of Access and Engagement” while at Louisiana State University it was more awkwardly renamed to the “Division of Engagement, Civil Rights & Title IX”. Utah Valley University’s DEI office adopted the meaninglessly bland title of the “Office of Institutional Engagement and Effectivenes...

Last year the United States Army recommended that military service members struggling with inflation should apply for Food Stamps. This year, the Military Family Nutrition Access Act was introduced in the Senate to make more military families eligible for food stamps. In the past, Senate members and elected officials had tried to get military families off food stamps. Measures like the “Remove Service Members from Food Stamps Act” in 2000 set out to boost military pay. Bush and Gore both promised to end the need for food stamps and the number of personnel on food stamps dropped into the low thousands. It’s now over 20,000. Instead of ending the need for food stamps, politicians are trying to make them easier to access. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has better ideas for where to spend the defense budget. The Pentagon is asking for $114 military to fund its DEI initiatives which would focus on “ensuring our entire workforce lives by fundamental values that bolster unit cohesion”....

Microsoft. Warner Bros. Electronic Arts. These are only some of the major corporations who appear on the list of clients for Sweet Baby Inc: a DEI consulting firm that some video game players believe is reshaping the industry. Sweet Baby Inc was only founded in 2018, but its clients now include Xbox, Microsoft’s dominant video game platform and subscription service, Warner Bros, whose video game arm publishes Batman and Harry Potter games, Electronic Arts, which is behind the Battlefield series, the NFL, NHL and FIFA soccer franchises, the Sims franchise, as well as Star Wars games, Ubisoft, the makers of the popular Assassin’s Creed series, Square Enix, makers of Final Fantasy, and Wizards of the Coast, who control the Dungeons and Dragons franchise. As well as Valve whose monopolistic Steam platform controls 75% of global video game sales. Of the top 10 best-selling games in 2023, 8 were published by studios that were either affiliated with Sweet Baby Inc. or that, after Microsoft’s ...

 A racist shooter is getting the death penalty while the 9/11 mastermind is getting a pass. Over the summer, the Biden administration warned 9/11 family members that it was negotiating a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the attacks, and four other Al Qaeda terrorists directly involved in the plot to murder thousands of people in America. Biden had previously freed Mohammed al-Qahtani, the 20th 9/11 hijacker , and Zuhail al-Sharabi, another hijacker for an expanded version of the 9/11 attacks, along with an Al Qaeda ally who plotted to smuggle nukes into America and still another terrorist who plotted to blow up gas stations in Maryland, among others of the ‘worst of the worst’ still being held in Gitmo. No wonder that Biden ducked out on the 9/11 commemoration to avoid facing family members. While Biden’s people are trying to cut a plea deal for the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, they have, for the first time, demanded the death penalty for another kil...

On January 18th, the latest attempt in over 50 years by the United States to return to the moon burned up over the Pacific Ocean. A day later, Japan’s lunar lander made it to the moon. In 2023, India landed its robot lander on the moon in a mission that only cost $75 million, while in 2020, China became the third nation, after America and the USSR, to return lunar samples. So why is the United States still struggling to manage something that every other country seems to be able to do and that American engineers used to be able to pull off with slide rules? The Apollo computer used memory made of wire ropes woven by women in the garment industry. Back then we picked the best and the brightest who had the “right stuff”. Now the right stuff consists of checking DEI boxes. “NASA is embracing inclusion”, the space agency announced , “and is pursuing a set of missions that will shatter the highest of glass ceilings: landing the first woman and person of color on the Moon. While the first Mo...

In nature, a useless species that over reproduces due to an unnatural condition in its environment that protects it from the laws of nature, like pigeons in big cities, is vulnerable to a dieback. So too DEI or Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consultants, are facing their own dieback. Like the Norway Rat or the Great American Bedbug, DEI executives suddenly popped up at every Fortune 500 company in the aftermath of George Floyd’s drug overdose death. They subjected employees to racist unconscious bias training, warped product lines and corporate communications to reflect leftist politics, and could be found sitting in First Class seats while flying to DEI conferences all around the country to coordinate with more of their kind. Now the DEI dieback has arrived. One survey revealed that company events and bonuses are cut first, followed by diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs. Only 5% of recruiters say that DEI is a priority. DEI job listings fell by a fifth last year and the w...

“I use psychedelic drugs to deepen my DEI practice,” writes Steven Huang, a diversity consultant who urges CEOs to get high. DEI stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Every corporation has gone DEI. Some call it racism, others call it a cult, and some have taken the racist cult to an exciting new place. At his DEI firm, Huang “seeks to leverage the power of psychedelics to inspire a generation of leaders to interrogate systems of oppression.” This is DEI. This is DEI on drugs. “So what does Black History Month look like in the psychedelics ecosystem?” he asked. “From the lens of a social justice warrior operating within a ‘corporate’ psychedelic system… it’s a lot to process,” Huang then pitched “black-Centered MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy, Addressing Racial Trauma” through the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies. MAPS advocates the use of psychedelic drugs to treat trauma. One of its favorites is MDMA, methylenedioxymethamphetamine, better known as ‘ecstasy’ or ...
