In the comments section of Small’s article, McCullough highlighted issues with fingertip pulse oximeters, describing the devices as “a technology that works better on lighter skin than darker skin.”

This is not a DEI issue. This is a technical issue based on the physical penetration of infrared light into skins of different colors. It has nothing to do with the socialist agenda. Just like laser hair removal works best on dark hair--getting it to work on light hair is a technical issue, not a DEI issue.

It's amazing the lengths racist leftists will go to to insert racism into everything.

“spending “more time in physics class discussing social issues.”

We’re well on our way to The Idiocracy.

Congress is a stellar example.

Reading Feynmans recollections of his time at Los Alamos, you have to wonder who we have now that could even approach the level of that bunch.

It’s a short trip from 2+2 = 5 to planes falling out of the sky due to incompetent diversity hires.

What is there that’s better than in the past?

Movies suck. Today’s music is awful. The internet and woke has wrecked the publishing industry. Amusement parks are political trash, and the schools are indoctrination centers.

What is there today that doesn’t suck?

Here in CT we now have tampons in boys rooms in all schools—required by state law.

Even the most wackadoodle science fiction writer never dreamt up something that crazy.

When someone claims to be a scientist and tells you that men can be women and women can be men, they're telling you that science is a fraud.

When Mr. Fauxi tells you that he is The ScienceTM and he isn't run out of town on a rail, he's telling you that science is a fraud.

DIE is just a con game within another con game.

The cruise ships won’t be built in the USA.
France, Finland, Italy, and Germany build most of them.

Only one large cruise ship, The Pride of America built for the Jones Act trade cruises the Hawaiian Islands and was built mostly in the US (before DEI).

As long as our companies that hire engineers lowered their standards at the same rate as schools, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

“The continued embrace of diversity, equity and inclusion in STEM combined with a broad decline in academic standards is producing a generation of scientists who are less capable than their predecessors, warned some scientists in recent interviews with The College Fix.”

In my day (~ 50 years ago) it generally took 6 years of hard work to earn a Ph.D. in a STEM field. Class work, independent research, preparing research proposals, long hours in the lab at night, weekends, time spent in the library reviewing the literature etc. After 2 or 3 years you took preliminary examinations, which were multiple difficult written exams in 3-4 different fields of study. It took months to prepare for these. In addition, you had to prepare a written, detailed research proposal (different from your actual research project) that had to be defended in front of a committee of hostile professors determined to find fault with it. The outcome of these exams determined if you were allowed to continue to a Ph.D. or had to stop at a Masters degree. Those who survived Prelims then had to do several more years of long nights and weekends to complete their research to the satisfaction of their major Professor and the Professors on your advisory committee. You then had to write your thesis, a document usually over two hundred pages describing the rationale for the work done, complete with experimental methods, charts, graphs, conclusions, references, etc. This also had to be approved by your advisory committee. Finally you had to give a public presentation attended by members of the faculty and students of your department along with anyone else that wanted to attend. It was quite an ordeal back then especially since it was before the internet and personal computers. I have no idea what the current Ph.D. process is like but in this era of reduced standards, I can’t imagine Gen Z types would consider the above process anything less than cruel and unusual punishment.
