“Ahead of the fall semester, Princeton University required student dormitory supervisors to participate in diversity, equity, and inclusion trainings that covered ‘microaggressions'” and “internalized oppression,” reports The College Fix:
Many universities have been closing their DEI offices and shutting down programs under pressure from the Trump administration. But, as some conservative education leaders have observed, Princeton has been doubling down instead.
National Review’s Abigail Anthony wrote that the RA trainings are an example of how, “despite the Trump administration’s efforts to purge such programming from campus life, DEI is alive and well at some of the most elite universities.”
One of the sessions Princeton required RAs to participate in this summer was the “Four I’s of Oppression.” It taught the students about “ideological, institutional, interpersonal, and internalized oppression,” according to the report.
“Every system of oppression comes from the idea that one group is somehow better than another,” according to a video from the training.
Another session, “DEI training part two” … involved students acting out “hypothetical scenarios involving undergraduates,” including conflicts involving “microaggressions,” “racism incident,” “elections conversation,” “gender discrimination,” according to the report: “A scenario about ‘gender discrimination’ addresses ‘a group of males who have formed a bond with each other’ that is refusing to let a student who ‘openly identifies as a trans man’ join an off-campus trip to watch soccer; a member of the male group says ‘our group is only for guys; we do a bunch of guy stuff that wouldn’t be fun unless you’re a guy.'”
Staffers involved in the trainings included Jes Norman, “an education and outreach program coordinator at Princeton University, who opened ‘DEI training part one’ by saying, ‘My pronouns are they, them, or xe, xir, or you can use my name,’ and ‘I come into the space as a black, queer, non-binary person who is also neurodivergent.'”
A study by a California State University professor found that an increase in “diversity, equity and inclusion” policies at a college is linked to rising opposition there to free speech. “The rise of DEI bureaucracies has actually coincided with the beginning of a ‘Free-Speech Crisis on College Campuses,’” noted the study.
College DEI staffers encourage illegal discrimination against whites and Asians. For example, at the University of California at Los Angeles, the Director of Race and Equity advocated denying white employees leave because of their race. That director, Johnathan Perkins, also claimed that “every white person is racist to some degree”, and falsely claimed that “white people cannot be victims of racism,” and “only white people can impose racist harm.” These claims disregarded court rulings finding that whites can be victims of racism and nonwhites can act illegally in committing racist acts.
Perkins tells whites not to wish him a “Happy Juneteenth” because he will “flip tf out” if they do. He reacted to the death of England’s Queen Elizabeth by saying,“Good riddance.”
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) staff harbor high levels of antisemitism, reports The College Fix.
