Here's the latest DEI outrage in Arizona higher ed - both ASU and UA Honors Colleges are forcing it on students! 😡😡😡😡The Goldwater Institute found that the faculty at ASU's Barrett “infused their mandatory introductory honors course sections with ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ content, including anti-Israeli, anti-capitalist, and sexually explicit ‘LGBTQ’ material.” One syllabus instructed students to put their pronouns on name cards. Another instructor assigned “Postcolonial Love Poem, a book that explores ‘the wounds inflicted by America onto an indigenous people’ and declares that America is ‘predicated [on] the diminishment and ultimate erasure of bodies like [the author’s].’”

i still genuinely cannot imagine the thought process that goes into deciding to do this

I remember covering ASU 20 years ago when a half dozen media members would attend post-practice interviews.

In Phoenix, Arizona, temperatures could reach an unbelievable 107°F (+42°C) on Friday. If that verifies, it would break the record for the earliest occurrence of 107°F since records began in 1895, pulverising the previous record by a whopping 44 days. This is totally bonkers.
