VA Dems Fire Stanley Goldfarb from ODU BoV for Asking Questions About DEI

link

To answer the question Goldfarb was fired for asking: DEI almost certainly permeates ODU's medical curriculum.

So far as I can tell, my own institution is trying to allow many of the crazy leftist excesses (DEI being only one part of them) of the last ten years to quietly fade away.

But the deep academy will not give this stuff up. They may hide it, rename it, withdraw temporarily, even give up some prominent bits...at least temporarily...

But we've been through this before. The commitment to postpostmodern irrationalism--which includes hard-left politics as a prominent component--is not going away.

Probably not, anyway.

I'll be happy to be wrong.

But e.g. the absolute obsession with race, sex-or-gender, and "power"...those have ruled the humanities and qualitative social sciences for something like 50 years now. And they've expanded into STEM. It's a seductive ideology.

I predict we'll be fighting this battle again before most of us exit this scholarly vale of tears...
