All tax money should be withdrawn from these institutions.
(Note: I am a mathematician, and I know very well people on all sides of this issue.) There are two very important points here. One is the free speech issue, and the calls for voices and views to be shamed, silenced, shunned. The second is the content issue, specifically how diversity statements are being done. I applaud the Notices of the American Math Society for publishing the original letter, and many of the comments and letters that have since come in online; I urge people to read these at: https://www.ams.org/journals/notices/202001/rnoti-o1.pdf
My brother is attempting to get a university faculty position. Every job application requires that he provide a statement of his commitment to diversity and inclusion. Some demand that he demonstrate his commitment to diversity. How do you do that?? Others require he indicate whether or not he has lived experience with LGBTQ issues or is an “ally” or has undergone training. This is for positions in West Virginia, Nevada, New York, California, and other states.
When he writes his “statement” he emphasizes that he believes in equal treatment for everyone and diversity in opinions. Naturally that isn’t acceptable so he’s eliminated from the candidate pool. Why isn’t the EEOC involved in stopping this?

The previous President of my college, a former classmate of mine, "evolved" into an eco-fanatic and anti-capitalist (except when fund raising goals were not being met).
Many of the best memories of my life were made on that campus - but, after a political betrayal of this magnitude, I don't think I can ever go back there.
The state’s repeal of the law against Communists and seditionists teaching in California schools happened THIS century and it was the Democrats who did it.
And education has only surged Left in the wake of that decision.

Diversity.
Inclusion.
Exclusion.
Words for a conservative to DIE under.
Well; if them CATHOLIC schools can do it...
