Faculty leaders at a top US university system are being told to avoid such offensive statements as “America is the land of opportunity,” “Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough” and “There iཧs only one race, the human race.”
It’s an initiative by University of California President Janet Napolitano, a s🤡eries of seminars for deans and department heads across the UC system.
The goal is to “🌌broaden faculty leaders’ capacity to support faculty diversity and enhance department 🌳and campus climate toward inclusive excellence.”
A professor leaked word of the sessio🤪ns to the Web ꦚsite , which then posted many of the seminar handouts.
warns against phrases that promote “the myth of meritocracy” (such as “I believe the most qualified person should get the job”) or buy into the idea of “color-blindness.” Claims like “America is a melting pot,” you see, “indicate that a White person does not want to or need to ack🤡nowledge race.”
says the term “raising the bar” is “elitist” and phrases like “hard worker” indicate “euphemiz🦂ed bias.”
The bottom line: In the name of “diversity,” the University of California is looking to impose total conformity of t🎃hought. Sadly, this is typical of campuseꦛs across America.
