It seems so stunningly obvious that: - diversity statements are an intrusive ideological test forced upon fields that are entirely unrelated, under pain of ostracization by a mob of students, taught to do so by activist professors who don't teach how to think but what to think. - the kinds of colleges that demand them are insanely expensive, have a bloated administration, and offer value nowhere near what they cost, demonstrating that true inclusion and equity is the last thing they care about. - the people who support them are intolerant, not interested in open inquiry, and do not understand the first thing about the principles they are claiming to uphold. - the grievances they are obsessed about are situated in a very narrow, american-centric, pampered point of view, which treats history as a fairy tale where only white men had agency, and are responsible for all the ills of the world. Whether or not it violates the constitution is entirely immaterial seeing as it simply violates common sense, and ticks every box of totalitarian conformism... the kind of thing universities are supposed to protect enlightened societies from. Insane that people don't see this, but here we are.
