Subject: Hey, Chaosians, Senator Ron Johnson is a Keynote Speaker!

 

Peter, Please pass this on to our Tuesday Chaosians.

Yesterday's State Journal has a news story of interest to our recent topic on May 9th. It appears that two Wisconsin Republican State Senators are holding a "Symposium" on the need to defund all the UW campus Offices of DEI. The keynote speaker, a man of certain incredibility, Senator Ron Johnson will give the major address!

The WSJ also mentioned that nationwide, 14 Republican Governors are now wanting all their public universities to defund all their DEI employees.

Now,  with such lock-step timing (Vos, DeSantis, and Abbot, and the many others), do you all believe these Republicans have an overriding interest in serving the needs of women, Blacks, and Latinos, on our campus?

Yes, offices of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion on our nation's campuses can be clumsy at times, but to eliminate them all immediately seems, to me, draconian and something that in our nation's past, Governor Faubus, and Lester Mattox would have glowingly approved.

Does anyone have second thoughts about Pamela Paul's article intent?

Hello and hope all goes well with you and yours for all of you. 

So, I,  as so many of us get loads of stuff naming, identifying, ranting, being horrified, disgusted, petrified!!!  Ya' know,  perhaps the time has come to acknowledge that WE all let this happen and now is not the time to simply and constantly bitch and moan but to put our good intentions together and do a sage analysis of how we get out of this mess.  Atlas is shrugging!!!! The clock is ticking and facism is well positioned for us in the good old US of A. While we are lamenting,  they are planning and striking nerves.  Yes, WE, are complicit.  And yes, WE, are also a they!!!

 Sighs,  hugs and kisses,  Myrna
