The TAMU "Office for Diversity" has some seminars planned for 2021.

https://diversity.tamu.edu/Menu/Enhancing-Diversity-Seminars-(1)

I've never seen anything quite like the explainer on these seminars.
Quote:

Because of the diversity in experience, motivation, and knowledge in the campus community, the Office for Diversity offers sessions for participants with a variety of skill levels and knowledge about diversity.
You get that? You might not be ready for these seminars if you don't have the right diversity skill level.

Here is how it breaks down:
Quote:

To help participants find presentations that match their interests and facilitate their personal and professional development, presenters have indicated experience and knowledge level(s) for their sessions:

  • Novice - Limited or no experience, training, and/or personal reflection discussing racism, privilege, and other social justice issues and identifying personal biases, prejudices, and identity.
  • Intermediate - Some to moderate experience, training, and/or personal reflection identifying and recognizing personal bias and prejudices, how power and authority are distributed within organizational systems, and forms of privilege, oppression, and discrimination.
  • Advanced - Substantial experience, training, and/or personal reflection resulting in a willingness to engage in respectful discussions and discourse about power, privilege, oppression, and discrimination; the ability to function effectively in a multicultural society; the ability to understand conflict from multiple viewpoints; and the willingness to explore personal bias and prejudices.

Emphasis added.

Think about this.....

It is the "Office for Diversity" and the seminars are to "enhance diversity," but what it really builds to is power, privilege and oppression.

This office isn't about achieving "diversity" on campus. It is a critical race theory activist group embedded in TAMU.

Here is the mission statement for the office:
Quote:

The mission of the Office for Diversity is to implement and coordinate Texas A&M University's Diversity Plan by providing leadership and support to the academic and administrative units as they embed diversity and inclusion in academic and institutional excellence. The Office for Diversity works to advance accountability, campus climate, and equity across the university while resisting racism, bias, and discrimination.
And what about that diversity plan?
Quote:

Diversity at Texas A&M University is an indispensable component of academic excellence. It is not an isolated concept that is separate to creating a culture of preeminence as was envisioned in Vision 2020 or the Academic Master Plan. We simply cannot achieve academic excellence without paying attention to and drawing from the richness and strength reflected in the diversity in our state and nation. Empirical evidence illustrates the educational benefits of diverse learning environments (Milem, Chang, & Antonio, 2005). Diverse learning environments foster civic learning and engagement and prepare us to live in an increasingly global and complex world. Diversity is also rooted in our land grant mission and core values: Loyalty, Integrity, Excellence, Leadership, Selfless Service, and Respect. Our commitment to diversity, broadly speaking, encourages respect for individual differences. Respectful treatment of others affirms and encourages individuals to take pride in their identity and results in the inclusion of all in the "Aggie Family." The Aggie family is diverse. Diversity involves an exploration of individual differences in a safe, positive, welcoming, and nurturing academic environment.
You see in this introduction to the Diversity Plan all the things we were taught about "diversity" for years. Let's celebrate diversity! This brings about richness in the academic experience!

How does anyone oppose those reasonable concepts?

But then you get the implementation. Suddenly, it is critical race theory. Suddenly it is privilege, power & oppression.

That's a bait and switch.

Yet no one at TAMU would dare for a moment to criticize what the TAMU "Office for Diversity" is doing because questioning a diversity & inclusion officer is like touching a live power wire. You are going to get burned.

This is a religion. The fact that there are tiers should make it obvious to even those that agree with this crap.

"Hey, let's value everyone, no matter what they look like or where they come from." (diversity)

98% of people support this idea.

"Hey, all white people are white supremacist oppressors who benefit from white privilege, and they create systems at every level of life designed to prevent black and brown people from ever gaining power." (critical race theory)

I don't know how many people support this, but it isn't a high percentage. Because it is racist crap.

But that is the bait and switch. The diversity plan is based on the first (popular) idea. The diversity office is based on the second.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Thanks a lot OP. I clicked on here, certain that they were adding some conservative viewpoints to the agenda.....you know, to create more diversity of thought.

Lol! CRT is looking like an RPG.

I've been making this argument for a while now and completely agree. The critical race theory people preach understanding "their truth." "Their truth" is a euphemism for subjective truth, or, put more accurately, beliefs. So they're embedding a system of belief and preaching it as the only acceptable truth.

Like Scientology, their "enforcement" branch has assumed the authority to destroy any non believers by any means necessary. The scary part is that since this is institutionalized, that means by official sanction.

Right in line with the racist anti-white email all School of Education alum received a few weeks ago. I had to miss my latest fund raising call from A&M the other night because I was busy but looking forward to talking to them.

Not that they will care since I'm not a big donor.

They are progressives that agree with it, but tell their voters the opposite. Isn't that obvious yet?

People shouldn't sin. Those who sin need a saccrifice. Jesus can be that sacrifice to all who believe that he died for them in their place.

Let's talk about the steps to getting to know how to defeat sin better. We will offer seminars on tax-payer dollars.

Seminar 1 (Novice): You are tired of the challenge that sin places on your life. You are out of hope and you want to find out how you can get out of those struggles and help others doing so in the process.

Seminar 2 (Intermediate): You have recently accepted Jesus into your life. You now look to make positive differences on your life and others but are still new to understanding how the Holy Spirit guides and directs you.

Seminar 3 (Advanced): You know Jesus, you know God the Father, and you know the Holy Spirit that comes to you through the word. You pray daily, not out of want, but out of the understanding that you need Jesus in your life. Your only challenge now is finding out how to become a leader in your walk of faith.

Absolutely that last. As well as other careers that have international application. A good example is cyber-security which everyone will need.

Cmon Ags, there are enough conservative donors in the alumni that if enough of us stopped giving, it would put a stop to this garbage.

Not giving is a pretty simple sacrifice.

That's the only way they'll listen.

My oldest granddaughter is a high school junior, #5 or #6 in her class and has visited a half-dozen universities, currently most interested in A&M. I am thinking of offering her $5,000 or $10,000 to go somewhere else.

I used to love the idea that it didn't matter where you came from - it was We are the Aggies, the Aggies are We.


Seems like this office is trying to do the opposite.
