the people who rage over DEI are often the same people who created it in the first place as a corporate friendly non-revolutionary alternative to BLM in an effort to destroy that movement. and once DEI served that purpose, they turned on it as well. because they are racist pigs.

This is Fascism cut and dry. The Federal Government punishing business and universities if they do not adhere to the demands of the same government that is supposed to serve those institutions.

Not one single business should bend the knee to these demands. Instead fight fire with fire.

This is clearly illegal. But of course, the problem is that there’s nobody to enforce the law because those tasked with enforcing it are the very ones flouting it.

I'm not a lawyer, but this seems completely unconstitutional.

How this working out for the Asians? They were so adamant that Black people didn’t deserve anything or we were taking spots from them. 😂😂😂😂

I hope they can make Georgetown considered woke in the public eye so I finally have something to be proud of

our times didn't overlap btw but would have loved to have taken your class

would've loved to have you!

DEI is their new N word. Substitute DEI with the N word and you’ll understand what they are really saying.

Wait a second, wasn't the whole objection to DEI supposed to be that it unfairly and arbitrarily prevented deserving candidates from getting jobs? If I didn't know better I might think that these fascists were just using anti-wokeness as a cover for racism, classism, misogyny and reaction.

Dear Interim Attorney General Martin,
Thank you for your donation of paper for recycling. This letter serves as your receipt.

the article on the threat made by a US Attorney to Georgetown Law School continues: "The first letter was misaddressed, but it was re-sent Monday."

So Trump's lawyers want to pick a legal fight with a law school? Okay, not the worst place to give battle.

I want to know where they accidentally sent it.

This is illegal, though. I'm not sure why it is treated as some sort of legimate order.

"The First Amendment...guarantees that the government cannot direct what Georgetown and its faculty teach and how to teach it"

Based on my reading of Tom Clancy, seems like a bad idea.

Absolutely ridiculous. Has the Law School responded?

deborahahrens.bsky.social•14 hours ago

They had better stop teaching remedies. None of that “equity” bs.

mountainmusings.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Maybe they should concentrate on public defenders instead of prosecutors.

flsseaton.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Anyone who uses the acronym DEI should have to use the words. The cowards are hiding behind letters because people against "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" sound like the racist, bigoted, fascists they are.
