Great title - describes the process and result - both in the institutions and within the souls of the people who succumb.
"Ideology" is a kind of fake reality - which is why its processes culminate in a technologically-constructed fake reality to which humans propose to subordinate themselves. It originates in the human soul, as a (comprehensive) falsification of the World in the name of some "ideal."
We are living through a trial-run of a more comprehensive system of falsification.

Not Texas A&M too! Nauseating. When the legislation to dismantle these taxpayer funded, radical, leftwing indoctrination programs at public universities, Republican legislators in TX must be prepared for the mainstream media attacks calling them racists. The media and Dems know that the vast majority of the public will not take the time to understand what actually happens with these DEI programs.
Are they learning anything aside from how awful white people are? At this point I don’t know why any self respecting parent would send their white child to an institution that’s sole purpose seems to be to make them second class citizens because of their skin color.
Why would anyone of any color send their child to an institution that silos each person based on superficial characteristics? Why would any black parent send their child to an institution that preaches that if one is black, there are insurmountable racist obstacles blocking the way to a successful life?
That is a very clear article about what is going on at A&M. Wow, so sad and scary. I will share it far and wide. I can only hope the Legislature will get this fixed. I love reading about your guys successes in FL.
After finishing my A.A. back in 1978, I went to Texas A&M one year and regret not staying and getting my degree there, and never in a million years would I have foreseen this fall.
"The School of Veterinary Medicine promoted a “21-Day Anti-Racism Challenge” so that white students could address their “white privilege” and “white fragility."
As a practicing veterinarian, this is appalling. The industry right now is mired in a severe shortage of vets and staff....and instead of trying to solve that problem, veterinary universities are wasting time and resources on this crap. Dogs don't care what color or sexual preference you are when you spay them, of that you can be certain.
I am grateful to your profession for having introduced me to some of the best people I have met. The thought of that changing is depressing - a real fall.
A positive decision from SCOTUS in the Harvard racial discrimination case would be a nice puff of wind in the anti-DEI sails. Let us hope that 5 justices can see what's happening. There will need to be more cases brought (diversity statements for example, which are just political loyalty oaths under a new name), but overturning all explicit race discrimination in admissions and hiring would be a good first step.
Yes, but it's not a silver bullet. They'll find ways to do racial quotas without explicitly doing racial quotas: "holistic admissions," dropping SATs, etc.
"Dismantle Systemic Racism" is a euphemism for "End Capitalism". Whiteness = Capitalism. When you see it, you can't unsee it. The Substack that opened my eyes is Actively Unwoke by Karlyn Borysenko. She pulls no punches.
pretty much the only option is not going to college unless you want to study liberal arts at one of the few really conservative colleges. My 3 kids are at a&m. In engineering they aren't exposed to much of that. They do have to take some "cultural awareness" classes but otherwise we haven't seen much DIE. But you do probably need to be an autoadmit to the college if you are a white male, and have a high ACT score to get into engineering. We moved to a small town for many reasons, but one was so our kids would have a better chance at ranking high enough for autoadmit. There are a lot of Asians and Indians in the suburbs that make it very difficult to be top 10%. Not racist, just realistic.
I've noticed some other Texas schools are segregating students in the name of inclusivity. We attended an informational meeting at a private university in Dallas, and I noticed we were all minorities at this meeting. Consider that this school is known for having a mostly white student body, and my son did not see any of his waspy friends at this meeting.
I was laughing about this return to the Jim crow segregation Era with my sister, who joked that I should call the school and demand my child be on the white people's list. Total theater of the absurd.
Awareness is the first step. You bring it to light. Lies and censorship are the demise of our Constitution and democracy. This effort to re rewrite history is only a generation away.
Sad to read this! I attended TAMU, Rebel-E, for a year and a half, back in the early 80s. This DEI stuff is ruining the world, engineering is now spending time on expunging offensive words and phrases rather than innovate. Sad, sad world. Thanks for the info and keep up the good fight.

Perfectly said.
I thought that I heard something Platonic in your thinking - now I know.

It's seen as a more conservative school, but the DEI bureaucracy is massive and powerful there.

What other Texas school have you covered?
UT Austin last week. And will cover University of Houston next week.
The Aggies have fallen and I don't know what to say.
I never thought I would see this at A&M. And I'm a Longhorn!

Yes, it's a complete waste. Learning veterinary medicine is hard enough—there's no need to burn time on DEI nonsense.

I've sent in my last dollar. Someone needs to tell Porter Garner that this will cripple funding big time.

It's everywhere—all large universities and many smaller ones, too.

Let's enjoy going to the doctor or dentist in the future. Equitably donating the wrong tooth to fight racism.
Good exposé - cheers!
Go get them 👍🏻
