what merit does Linda McMahon have to earn her the role of Secretary of Education?
Any experience leading public schools? What about years spent as a teacher? Teaching degree?

Agree never understood why there were quotas for minority admissions. Always seemed so racist to me. Maybe for the same reason you can only use a word if you are a certain race or color? Very odd. Maybe a USAID related NGO can use a few billion to hire them all to protest their perceived in justice because it certainly will not hold up under the scrutiny of our laws...

or do sometimes recruit less talented players because they are a good fit with the team culture?
IDK, I am in charge of hiring at my company, I will take a less talented person any day that has a good attitude over a primadonna oozing with talent. I made that mistake in the past, being the best at something is not always a requirement to do a job, getting along well with coworkers and being a team player is far more important.

Youre note wrong but neither is Balms response to Gravy
From a very sterilized point of view, yes of course you should hire the best talent you can find.
But the best talent isn't always the best teammate nor the most trustworthy. Think of it like this, would you rather have Terrel Owens (dallas edition) or Larry Fitzgerald as your WR1?

I agree that the person that scores highest on the test or otherwise on paper may not be as good is not the best candidate for the job. Any manager with any sense would recognize this. However, there is also a reluctant, once in a while, for people that hire (who are not the boss), hesitate to hire people that may be better than them. Like I said earlier, maybe the pendulum has swung a little too far ...... but that is because it went too far it the other direction.

Which ones cry when you tell them to get off their a$$ and go to work, the Soy Boys or the ones with a heart and drive? There are plenty of top talented applicants with a team attitude that can fit in the "chemistry" without checking a DEI box. Well there used to be until DEI took over. It actually sounds like you and your Manager friends are afraid of losing your jobs, so you under hire. Always hire like the person is the next replacement for the Manager they will be working. The bottom line is beating the competition, not rainbows and unicorns.

Well like I've said I would want the best people I could possibly get, but it would be a must that everybody gets along with each other while they were on the clock that shows how many hours that I would owe them for. I wouldn't tolerate just one or two employees that were always in a conflict with other employees, they would be counseled once or maybe twice, and if there was a 3d everybody would know bc their desk would be cleaned out with no using that chair...

Allow me to explain what dei is in the working world.
1. Large company allows wokesim to creep in 2. Large company has long standing contract with outstanding vendor for office supplies jit contract 3. Large company uses 50 boxes copy paper per week 4. Vendor monitors usage and ensures inventory is on hand 5. Shyster receives 500k grant from government through ngo 6. Shyster forms office supply company 7. Shyster visits large company procurement (diversity hire) wins contract to supply copy paper 8. Shyster company has no infrastructure or support 9. Large company places order for 50 boxes of paper with shyster 10. Shyster takes message off answering machine next day 11. Shyster has no inventory on hand 12. Shyster orders paper from another company 13. Large company copy paper reaches critical supply limits 14. Large company contacts Shyster 15. Shyster says paper will be delivered next week 16. Large company has to place emergency order with old vendor resulting in extra expense for company 17. Shyster company paper arrives 10 days later on loading dock with 25 boxes back ordered 18. Large company cancels Shyster contract and rehires original vendor at increased cost 19. Shyster pockets 500k less cost of forming dummy company and keeps the rest because has met the grant requirement of forming a company.

If I would have been lucky enough to have owned my own business, I would have hired the people I felt was the most qualified regardless of race. I personally want a business that I owned to be as successful as it could possibly be, and I wouldn't care about the color of the skin of the people that made it successful!!!

… as the hiring criteria. A diverse applicant pool is also not proof of discrimination or reverse discrimination in the hiring process. It seems reasonable that any investigation should have to uncover some “substantial “ and “systemic” improper hiring practices before any punitive measures.

because 45 Public Universities are being told who they can and can not hire under the threat of losing federal grant money. Most people call this extortion, so I was being polite. He is also doing the same thing to Public libraries, he wants to decide what books they can have on their shelves under threat of losing funding. I would expect this from the communist party, but not a Republican.

Maybe a little, but it is a case of counteracting federal overreach in the other direction. It always happens.
My daughter works in a pretty sensitive/secretive job in DC and she has said for the past number of years her team has had to walk on eggshells because of all the crapola they have had to endure because of DEI ....... i.e training sessions on gender equity, etc. She said she was afraid to even ask question or participate because of the risk of being labeled anti-DEI, and risking promotion. She said it took over a year for the young lady (former Navy veteran) in the cubicle next to hers to be fired after she refused to come into work. She then accused her boss of sexual discrimination and when that did not work she accused him of racial discrimination. Neither worked, so finally she was fired and the had to send authorities to her house to pick up her government credentials, since she refused to send them in.
This is real experience, not what you hear from talking heads on CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc.

Clemson has determined their student body is going to have a set racial makeup every year. It’s been going on for quite a while. If they have to lower admission standards in order to get a specific races numbers up, which is quite an embarrassing slap in the face I must say, they’ll do it. And unfortunately that often means the kid who actually applied themselves in high school will not get an acceptance letter due to their race. Just facts, but hey we all feel better afterwards

The PhD diversity plan is just as beneficial to a white person as a black considering having as many groups represented in a PhD cohort, or instruction would help finally engage across racial and cultural lines. The more we learn and grow from each other at the same level- the better our country and university will be. Why does DEI have to be bad for white folks and only good for minorities when it’s mutually beneficial in having a well rounded education experience?

Diversity makes us all wiser. It makes the team better
Mar 18, 2025, 5:51 PM

We miss out on so much even if we have the most qualified of the same kinds of people on our team or classroom. We would be wiser with diverse perspectives and people with various struggles who have arrived or welcomed to the same place taking different roads. My road may have more obstacles and less privilege than yours which doesn’t make me any less brilliant or good. Think about athletes that are 3* because they don’t have the money to go to these expensive camps or parents can’t get them there or their school is small- it doesn’t mean they are not 5*. That applies everywhere yall. 5* is not just about merit all the time!!! Speaking in sports terms but it applies to education and programs. DEI could be- not saying it always is- like Dabo seeing talent, special perspectives and character needed to make the team better!!!!

Can being in an intentionally diverse group be an advantage to white people
Mar 19, 2025, 9:39 AM
[ in reply to Re: Diversity makes us all wiser. It makes the team better ] |
|
I don’t understand the issue here. I’m asking whether it can be a good thing that we have the opportunity to learn from people who have a different experience than we do and may be wiser as result in ways we aren’t. I’m not suggesting taking anything away from anyone else- experience and knowledge and understanding are not proprietary. I’m saying that growth, and knowledge is multifaceted. So I am not talking about giving something to someone who has not earned or deserved it (like the love offered inthe gospel does). I am talking about giving them something they can’t earn or deserve that may be good for all of us- God’s gift of diversity. That’s not taking- that’s giving!

Well from the way I read it Clemson has already said they had been using that program as a member. I really don't see how dumping the program could make it look as if they've never used it after admitting that have. Plead the 5th and say they will no longer use that program bc they weren't aware there was anything unlawful about it...
