I Was a DEI Director — DEI Drives Campus Antisemitism
New York Post ^ | Oct. 18, 2023 | Tabia Lee

Posted on 10/20/2023 4:12:51 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The blatant antisemitism on college campuses has shocked millions of Americans over the past week and a half. But not me. I saw antisemitism on a weekly basis in my two years as a faculty “diversity, equity and inclusion” director.

In fact, I can safely say that toxic DEI ideology deliberately stokes hatred toward Israel and the Jewish people.

I was hired to head the DEI department at Silicon Valley’s De Anza College in 2021. As a black woman, I was the perfect person for the job — on paper.

This is pretty interesting. And this black woman was fired for not being anti-Semitic.

. I think she had the right idea for the job, bringing unity. Sounds she was sorely disappointed.

Dr. Tabia Lee seems like a decent lady. I guess history is repeating itself. Gavin Newsom may be the next President. He’ll probably cut Israel off. And Israel will have to fend for itself.

>> “on paper”

My wife had the same experience decades ago when a lady “priest” called her to the church vestry. (-:

How do you group the races? Are Jews white or a minority? Is someone half black/half white classified as black or white? It is maddening.

Administrators and lawmakers need to get toxic DEI out of higher education.

If they don’t, there will be no true diversity and inclusion on campus, but there will be even more shocking hatred toward Jews.

***********************************************************

Dr. Lee, thanks for standing up for common sense like you did and ARE. You may be one of the last principled persons in Academia’s hierarchy.

That said, I think you should also stress that DEI is one factor, among many, that are inexorably bringing in the demise of 100’s of colleges and universities, slowly but surely.

AND, it’s not going to take a law to do it. Parents and students are wising up to the FRAUD of higher education’s marxism and socialism and hatred for historical American principles, traditions and values.

She really gets it.
"When you stoke that kind of division and anger, you unleash fires you can’t control."
We've seen that scapegoating, division and hatred many times throughout history. It's the most common tool of a tyrant to use scapegoats to create power.

Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, and O'Brien. "We've ALWAYS been at war with East Asia."

Funny she fails to mention it also fosters anti-white sentiment as well. Usually anti-straight male as well.

So long as it was only anti-white, that was fine.

How did this woman get so wise? She must be Christian or Jewish.

The bio line says, “Tabia Lee, EdD, is a senior fellow at Do No Harm.”

About Do No Harm
(Note: the doctor references being against "anti-racism" without explaining it. He is referring to the Ibrahim Kendi version, which is actually reverse discrimination against "oppressor groups" as labeled by the Left—whites, Christians, Jews, males, heteros]

Do No Harm has been a leader in the fight against rushing children into transgender treatments, and have won many lawsuits on behalf of the government and globalists' patient “care” policies:

Outstanding article—spread this article around!

DEI is one of the woke ideological weapons infiltrating too many large organizations, from schools and universities to corporations, government agencies and foundations. Like a cancer, it's institutionalizing every anti-American, anti-semitic, anti-Christian, anti-family, hateful and deathcult agenda that is killing this country; and its effects are harming Israel as well.

Be sure to read post 16 about Do No Harm, where the author is now a Fellow.

You may find this interesting, the ideology behind how our universites have become so wrong, and in lockstep.
