As a post-grad student at Oxford, to get a teaching accreditation, one must now pass a written Diversity exam and then sign it as a literal pledge of allegiance to Identitarian ideology. I wish I were making this up.

Yep. That’s what I said.
-
That’s incredible, in the true sense of the word
-
It’s credible indeed. It’s part of the Humanities DLT teacher training program administered through The Oxford Learning Institute. The Diversity component was added to the exam in 2017.

Here's a screen grab of my first attempt at the exam. You can see how well my University of Chicago-style case against such Identitarian excess went over with the Diversity examiner.pic.twitter.com/hgRignglII

When are we going to recognise that equality is a well meaning but highly flawed theoretical concept. If it's about changing our language let's focus on wrongful discrimination and forget the idiocy of equality.
-
I think the biggest problem is people say they want equality but really mean superiority of their own group/race/gender/whatever (especially over straight white males) and aren't realizing they're too misguided and fanatical to tell the difference.
-
That's the problem with identity politics. It's basically racial supremacy, regardless of identity.
-
If not supremacy, it's a fight to be the most oppressed and helpless. That gives them the right to demand for free what everyone else has to work for and earn.
-
There's nothing wrong with equality, unless you take it to a point of societal authoritarianism and moral absolutism, which movements like MeToo and people like Roxanne Gay have. I'm a Jack Kennedy-type liberal, and I think liberals have overstepped.

Nobody attending a college which costs more than $50k a year qualifies as marginalized. If you want to find the "marginalized" students, you will have look among community colleges and trade schools.
-
People in trade schools are the ones who actually want to use their schooling for a career, not to appear smart and sound “woke”.You won’t find trade school students “protesting” the teachers for being white.
-
That was what I was suggesting. There are those for whom college is a leisure class activity, and those for whom post secondary education is to learn a skill or credential to get a job.

Close that department. Use the money to lower tuition or hire faculty.

I just like to see one college experiment with the concept of no equity and diversity office at all and see how much it improves the college experience for everyone.

Perhaps most appalling: they don't use the Oxford comma.

Whilst I enjoy remembering that the real world is currently still reasonably normal, it terrifies me what society my kids are growing up in. There truly may soon be wrong-speak Police.

They have them now in the UK.
