Black and Latino students did worse in schools with ‘diversity officers’: study

I hope you’re sitting down, because otherwise the following news might send you to the fainting couch quicker than a Victorian lady who has just overheard someone say the word “knickers.” A new study says that putting a high-paid diversity bureaucrat on the school payroll may actually make things worse for black and Latino students.

No, that sound you’re hearing is not a nationwide cicada infestation: That’s just 10,000 heads being scratched in school administrators’ offices. You mean, all those diversity hucksters who said we could close racial gaps by hiring lavishly paid diversity hucksters were just in it for themselves?

THIS IS REAL: Biden’s ‘Zero Cost’ $3.5T Package Includes $3 BILLION for ‘Tree Equity’

Joe Biden faced a growing backlash from both parties Monday after he bizarrely claimed that his massive $3.5 Trillion spending package actually costs “zero dollars” and won’t add to the national debt.

As more details of the plan emerge, moderate politicians are questioning some aspects of the proposal.

The Build Back Better agenda includes $79 billion for the IRS, $12 billion for electric cars, $3 billion for ‘Tree Equity’, and other far-left policies.

Men Are Losing Their Grip in the New Economy

Job growth and education are putting women in a prime position to dominate. Should we rejoice or worry?

It’s no longer a man’s world. Pundits have speculated for more than a decade about the end of men. After centuries of dominating the economy, most of the job growth is in industries where women traditionally work. And those jobs require more education. The latest piece of data is that women are dominating college enrollment. In a few years, two women will earn a degree for every one man.

Thousands more officers needed to fill employment equity gaps, RCMP says

After years of headlines about toxic behaviour and sexual harassment in the ranks, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is reporting it’s falling far behind on hiring women and visible minorities.

The RCMP has revealed part of its strategy to build a more inclusive workforce — and the number of people they’ll have to hire to meet the federal government’s employment equity standards.

The police service says it needs to hire more than 5,100 women to the regular ranks to make up for a 27 per cent shortfall.

That’ll help.

Lest We Hold Our Manhoods Cheap

What does it say about the character of a nation when it’s willing to enlist its daughters in the draft?

On December 1, 1969, we senior ROTC guys gathered in front of a dorm TV to watch the Vietnam War draft lottery. We’d already taken our enlistment oaths and completed our six-week basic training at Fort Sill. Come summer, we’d be commissioned officers, headed out to our branch schools. So we were watching with purely academic interest, wondering, “What if the lottery had come two years earlier and we’d made the exemption cut?”

Women Could Join Men in Compulsory Draft

Never mind the evidence on male versus female performance in the military.

The Left’s push for equity might forcefully draft women onto the battlefield.

The Senate Armed Services Committee has approved language in its annual defense policy draft on Wednesday that could potentially require women to register for military conscription. The defense bill, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), “amends the Military Selective Service Act to require the registration of women for Selective Service.”

Rex Murphy: Cutting honours programs and keeping smart kids down proves the silliness of ‘inclusivity’

The Vancouver School Board is cutting all sports programs and all sports competitions because, the school district says, “they do not comply with the equity and inclusion goal of ensuring that all students can participate in every aspect of the curriculum.”

Jordan Peterson and James Lindsay started a “Resign for Diversity” campaign urging white wokies to be the “QUIT” in “EQUITY”

The idea behind the “Resign for Diversity” campaign is simple: if you are a woke white person who believes we need to overhaul all of society to eliminate merit on the basis of racial “equity,” then you can be the first to show your devotion by quitting your job and giving it to a person you think is oppressed.
