In the warped world of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), where the push for “social justice” has morphed into a breeding ground for divisiveness and vendetta, a recent study has finally put hard data to what many of us have suspected for years: DEI isn’t just unnecessary, it’s harmful. It’s a wake-up call for anyone still convinced these programs are benign. The Network Contagion Research Institute released a revealing report, “Instructing Animosity: How DEI Pedagogy Produces the Hostile Attribution Bias,” which proves that DEI teachings not only sharpen divisions but actively foster them.
The study exposed participants to the radical teachings of Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo, whose works are a staple in DEI indoctrination, comparing their reactions to those given neutral content. The results? Those fed a diet of DEI rhetoric were more likely to see oppression where none existed, transforming them into zealots hunting for discrimination and punishing imaginary slights. This isn’t education; it’s programming to perceive the world through a lens tainted with bias and resentment.
The claim of systemic racism, a cornerstone of DEI and critical race theory, has been leveraged to justify the wholesale reconfiguration of society. But instead of fostering understanding, it’s fomenting hostility—turning workplaces, universities, and even streets into battlegrounds where your skin color or background is either a shield or a target, depending on the prevailing winds of DEI doctrine.
Moreover, this study highlights a chilling readiness among the indoctrinated to punish and exclude, echoing the darkest times of political and social purges throughout history. It’s no stretch to say that DEI could be sewing the seeds of a cultural purge where dissent from the accepted narrative isn’t just discouraged, it’s destroyed.
The media’s silence on these findings is as deafening as it is complicit. Outlets like Bloomberg and the New York Times initially showed interest only to drop their coverage abruptly, suggesting that the truths uncovered are too inconvenient to share. This selective silence is nothing less than censorship, shielding a dangerous ideological movement from scrutiny and critique.
As we stand on this precarious edge, where DEI threatens to reshape our society into something unrecognizable and unfree, it is imperative that we push back. We need policies that champion individual merit and mutual respect, not tribal allegiances and collective guilt.
