I'm working with Gov. Ron DeSantis on policies that will eliminate these racist, pseudoscientific, and divisive programs from all Florida public universities. Read the full story about FSU's ideological capture at City Journal: https://t.co/ns6Fjcw31c — PolitiTweet.org

The goal of DEI ideology is to move everyone in the university’s orbit toward partisan political activism. The trainings make it clear, encouraging participants to engage in "structural change activism" and "petition drives, picketing, performance art, teach-ins, vigils," etc. https://t.co/zbNWLiXPH1 — PolitiTweet.org

FSU also sponsors "Pride Month" programming, including events promoting "drag condom bingo," "queer sex ed," "trans 101," "intersectionality," and "masturbation" lessons. https://t.co/wFljFIHY82 — PolitiTweet.org

FSU even administers scholarships that explicitly exclude white students. The Delores Auzenne Assistantship, for example, is designated solely for "African-American, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, and Native-American" grad students—no European-Americans need apply. https://t.co/dhoIuiYQDH — PolitiTweet.org

Many academic departments have created an ideological hiring filter, requiring that potential faculty hires and graduate students submit "diversity statements"—best understood as a loyalty oath to left-wing racialism—as part of the application process. https://t.co/PR292Q4pG1 — PolitiTweet.org

The sociology department has created an entire course, "Critical Race Theory," that presents left-wing racialism as the gospel truth and assigns readings that traffic in overt racial hostility, such as "Whiteness as Pathological Narcissism," with no competing opinions anywhere. https://t.co/meb1pvaBI8 — PolitiTweet.org

This ideology is everywhere at FSU. The business school pledged to create an award for "DEI heroes." The classics department released a statement to support BLM. The art history department adopted a "land acknowledgement" that portrays Europeans as illegitimate occupiers. https://t.co/6OowTbdpSH — PolitiTweet.org

The solution for oppressor groups is to seek redemption through social-justice ideology and "identity development." They begin as "selfish" and hoping to "maintain the status quo," but can work to "consciously [use] unearned privilege against self" and "destroy the system." https://t.co/cvUx9IZWVS — PolitiTweet.org

Christians, too, represent an oppressor class, which has created "Christian hegemony" and "normalize[d] Christian values as intrinsic to an explicitly American identity." They are guilty of "religious oppression” and "close-minded hatred, fear, or prejudice towards Islam." https://t.co/gZzo6kGuwA — PolitiTweet.org

The training claims that "whites" are the racial group at the top of the "matrix of oppression," guilty of the "systematic subordination of members of targeted racial groups who have relatively little power." By definition, no other group can be racist—the problem is "Whiteness." https://t.co/BhLab4EfUd — PolitiTweet.org

One representative program is FSU’s "Social Justice Ally Training," which recapitulates the critical-race-theory narrative: American oppressors have created a society of "racism, classism, religious oppression, sexism, heterosexism, gender oppression, ableism, [and] xenophobia." https://t.co/x6xeCM45ox — PolitiTweet.org

Officially, Florida State administrators have claimed in a recent report to Governor Ron DeSantis that they support 23 separate DEI initiatives. But I have obtained documents through public records and FOIA requests showing that the ideology has embedded itself everywhere. https://t.co/lr5I8EmSFv — PolitiTweet.org

SCOOP: Florida State University has adopted a radical DEI program that divides Americans along a "matrix of oppression," castigates Christians for their "Christian privilege," and offers racially segregated scholarships that deliberately bar white students from applying. 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

Frey's comment is particularly funny because she's arguing, in essence, that the governor should not interfere with the government. No understanding that, in fact, in a democratic republic, people elect the governor to lead and sometimes reform the government. Centrist mindset. — PolitiTweet.org

The myth of neutrality is so strong, otherwise intelligent people mistake left-wing bureaucratic dominance over state institutions as a "free marketplace of ideas." The first task for conservatives is to dispel this myth & reveal the true nature of the status quo. Then change it. — PolitiTweet.org

This comment reveals the fundamental blindspot of the "centrist" mind. New College is a public university. The state literally controls it. The implication is that the public should not have power over the government—which is, in other words, bureaucratic tyranny. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cernovich Yeah, I think he's good faith and principled, and the latter sounds like a reasonable interpretation. The IDW types seem to be good at diagnosing the problem, but: (1) can't move from the intellectual to the political; (2) have a cultural aversion to allying with conservatives. — PolitiTweet.org

@doukhobour @willchamberlain That's not even how the laws are constructed. Most of them don't even include the phrase "critical race theory," they just explicate in greater detail certain behaviors that violate civil rights law (racial scapegoating, racial supremacism, etc.). — PolitiTweet.org

@Cernovich I love JBP, and it's a bit baffling that he understands the problem so well (decades in academia, personal maltreatment by DEI bureaucrats), but can't seem to move from premise to conclusion. I'm hoping to persuade him to play out his own logic. — PolitiTweet.org
