The foundation of neo-Marxism is that the world must be divided between the oppressed and the oppressors and that truth is not based on objective facts and logic but on the subjective feelings and harm perceived by the oppressed.
Neo-Marxism has been embraced by Democrats and cloaked with the seemingly harmless label of progressivism with a claimed foundation of DEI: diversity, equity and inclusion. But in reality it is diversity except of views, equity of outcomes, not opportunities and inclusion except of facts and logic. DEI insists that people be judged and treated differently based solely on certain arbitrary characteristics that are unrelated to their actual actions and behaviors. This is dangerous and bad for America. (2)(3)
Today only people of certain characteristics (the oppressed) including race, sex, sexual preference, gender identity, ethnicity, disability and obesity are recognized as deserving of preferences. Individuals without these arbitrary characteristics (the oppressors) are expected to stand aside and support the advancement and preferences given to others regardless of effort and merit.
DEI’s failure to recognize individual behaviors and merit results in discriminatory and unfair practices to groups.
DEI’s dismantling of the importance of personal agency is resulting in generations of individuals without resilience and responsibility.
Claudine Gay PhD, President of Harvard, is one example of the harm ofDEI. She believes and promulgates that the disparities in education, income and crime between blacks and whites are primarily due to slavery 150 years ago, discriminatory policies 60 years ago, and systematic racism today. A professor of African American Studies at Harvard, she became President of Harvard and promised to focus on amplify teaching and research on racial and ethnic inequality and the lived experiences of those she identifies as pushed to the margins.
Evidently she is unaware of the culture of a small segment of society that results is disproportionate percentages of fatherless homes, young unwed mothers, criminal behavior and poor educational performance.(1)
Today Harvard has fallen to the bottom of the ranking of Universities when looking at the diversity of views allowed on campuses.
