Dr. Angela Byers-Winston and Ray Allen discuss the difference between good intentions and intentionality, when it comes to identifying and creating real change? The ad hoc study group worked to present their critical findings and strategic recommendations aimed at addressing the long-standing challenges faced by Black students, faculty, and staff on university campus. They discuss the question, “What is the systemic inertia to follow through on the recommendations?” Hear the unfiltered conversation about the report conducted by the UW by those that served on the board. All three speak honestly about the process, offering what made them angry or frustrated, and the hopes they have for change. They talk about how creating programs only can't change the DEI issues, but it takes institutional and organizational change.

Newsom issuing an executive order to suspend regulations for rebuilds, the LA fire chief saying the city failed residents in wildfire prep, and Mark Zuckerberg telling Joe Rogan that Biden officials would scream and curse when seeking removal of Facebook content.

The current state of my country is deeply troubling, particularly in light of the recent fires in the Palisades of Los Angeles, a site of significant historical importance. It is disheartening to witness the erosion of our heritage while leadership appears indifferent to these losses. The swirling conspiracies and allegations surrounding these events contribute to my unease regarding our future. Additionally, the prospect of Los Angeles evolving into a smart city, coupled with the arrest of a homeless individual in connection with the fire, raises further concerns. The ongoing discourse surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion seems to overshadow the pressing needs of the American populace. In this context, I also present a segment discussing the emergence of oligarchic structures alongside other relevant developments.

For the video of this episode, go to https://brucechalmer.com/diversity-diagnosis-and-nonsense/. Okay, I (Bruce) get to rant in this one. Bring on the arguments! How does the good idea of diversity turn into the ideology that makes universities insist that candidates for faculty positions sign loyalty oaths? How does the good idea of understanding the experience of trans people turn into the ideology that says you can't question whether someone who grew up in a male body should be allowed to swim on the girls' team? How does the good idea of differential diagnosis turn into the ideology that totalizes and pathologizes people? More generally, how do ideologies turn otherwise intelligent, caring people into malevolent idiots? At the end of this episode, I specifically invite people who'd like to argue with me to come on as a guest. Maybe that's you! Go to https://ctin7.com and send us a message.

His book, From Schoolhouse to Courthouse - The Judiciary's Role in American Education, offers an important view of the complex relationship between courts and education. His landmark study co-authored with Jon A. Shields, Passing on the Right: Conservative Professors in the Progressive University, makes a strong case for why robust and uninhibited intellectual inquiry should be at the center of the American academy.
