Federal funding of research is un-American.
- georgemcbay 11mo ago> Federal funding of research is un-American. Federal funding of research created the Internet that you are posting this idiocy on.
- ipaddr 11mo agoBefore you attack the last poster, he does have a point. Federal funding of powers that belong to states is unamerican.
- ericfr11 11mo agoI agree. The gvt should not care if DEI is used, or if someone is gay or transgender m
- drstewart 11mo agoOh really? So what pro-DEI requirements did the federal funding for that grant require?
- collingreen 11mo agoWhat does this even mean? Are you trying to imply that funding for research that lead to the various tech powering the modern internet was done only by organizations that never before or since considered trying to source candidates from a variety of places because they believe different viewpoints have value? Or are you trying to hang this entire thing on a definition of DEI that somehow always and exclusively means illegal race or gender based discrimination (I assume against white men)? These conversations are so absurd sometimes. I'm baffled by how spitting mad people can decide they are to fight these straw men. Then I'm annoyed by (and suspicious of) the overwhelming silence from most of these sources when it comes to other obvious examples of racial discrimination or things like the government trying to remove history books that mention slavery. These things don't look like good faith to me.
