DEI is a good thing. Period. Those who criticize it misunderstand the aim is equity, not equality.
DEI doesn’t mean you win the poker game. It means you can sit at the table.
@sheologian And that is why there is such opposition from those who previously owned the table and have resented any efforts to allow access on grounds of merit. Anti-DEI is anti-merit.
@sheologian And teach people games you know that they don't.. or rules for familiar games that might not be so familiar. Everybody plays, everybody learns. But then that's the part people fear.. learning a new perspective.
@sheologian @deBeauxOs1 But white guys think you don't belong at the table...
@sheologian most people who oppose DEI are opposed to both equality and equity.
@sheologian This is the essence of DEI- too bad @RepGregMurphy doesn’t understand that. Disingenuous, hypocritical, the antithesis of what you hope a doctor might be, what you expect your congressman to be.
@sheologian I like that analogy. I may have to borrow it
@sheologian Perfect analogy At the flight school I worked at, DEI just meant they shifted some recruiting efforts towards women and POC. Standards for pilots in training didn't change in the slightest and everyone needs the same 1500 hours of flight time
