I am not a professional academic but for many years I have been a member of the National Association of Scholars (NAS), a politically conservative academic professional group that has always opposed the Marxist socialist, collectivist invasion of educational and other institutions of Western democracies.
On June 13, 2022, Peter Wood (PhD Anthropology, U of Rochester) President of NAS, released a position paper opposing leftist invasions of American education and culture that are broadly referred to as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and Critical Race Theory (CRT) in a long and thorough (more than 4000 words) critique and call to arms and opposition: Regime Change: Repelling the DEI Assault on Higher Education .
I provide some pertinent excerpts from the monograph and some comments.
Dr. Wood Introduces the Position Paper:
Criticism of American society for its inequitable treatment of blacks and other minority groups has become a focal point of American education at every level of instruction. Sometimes this criticism is historically well-grounded and tempered by recognition of social, political, and economic complexity. But more often this criticism veers into simplistic claims and fictions presented as fact. . . . “anti-racist” agenda in post-secondary education have not drawn nearly as much attention as they have in K-12 schools. In this essay I intend to address the critique of America on racial grounds mainly at the college and university level, but problems in K-12 schools will necessarily come into the picture.
Words Matter
America’s racial critics often disarm their opponents by using a vocabulary whose unassuming or technical demeanor hides radical meanings.

They are going to have to get rid of the marxists. Lucifer has their souls.
A few decades late to the game.
In addition to flushing out Marxist and D.I.E. indoctrination from educational institutions, such Marxist and D.I.E. requirements need to be eliminated from educational accredition organizations.
20 years late but it’s a start.
