Arizona State University was one of the long list of agencies under federal investigations this week for violating Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This should be non-contrast. However, universities across the country are engaged in systematic discrimination disguised as social justice under the banner of diversity, equity and inclusion.
The university justifies racism by applying the Marxist dialectic of “oppressor vs oppressed.” It is now repackaged in academic jargon as “privilege and marginalized.” They argue that so-called marginalized groups need extra resources to deal with past injustice and need to assign “oppressor” status based on skin color, gender and religion.
The university administrator who implemented these discriminatory DEI programs should first apologize.
For example, at ASU, DEI employee training explicitly labels “whiteness” and “heteromormativity” as essential oppressor categories. This training is presented as a fact rather than as a lot of perspective, as the fact that America is always a white supremacist country. Teachers are expected to accept this claim without question.
I am currently suing ASU to stop this necessary DEI training. Instead of acknowledging its discriminatory nature, the university defends it in court.
ASU's comprehensive charter is weaponized in the Marxist dialectic that teaches students to hate the United States and Christianity. The school explains the practice by referring to a charter that emphasizes “inclusion.” Clearly, taxpayer-funded universities must be comprehensive. However, in practice, the definition of inclusion in ASU means giving privileges to so-called marginalized groups more than other groups.
And how do they decide who belongs to which category? Skin color, gender, religion.
This is not education. It is indoctrination. However, professors often argue that “we cannot discriminate against white people because they are oppressors.” At one event I attended, the speaker stated it was time to “take white men to the Notch.” These people are tasked with teaching your children.
Dei's discrimination
Title VI surveys at ASU and 39 other universities cover PhD degrees. Project is a program that provides doctoral students with networking and career opportunities, but excludes participants based on their race. This is blatant racism. The program defends its practices using the same Marxist logic. This argues that historical injustice justifies current racial “likes.”
ASU strengthened this reasoning when it hosted in 2023 Ibram X. Kendy for A. Wade Smith and Elsie Moore's Commemorative Lecture on Race Relations. Kendy's attitude has been repeated many times, but “the only remedy for racist discrimination is anti-racist discrimination.”
That argument fails legally and morally. In contrast, President Donald Trump's Department of Education has made that position explicit. “The department is working to resume civil rights enforcement to ensure that all students are protected from illegal discrimination.”
For decades, the university positioned itself as a civil rights advocate. Now they are exposed for violating those very principles. If it's not so destructive, irony would be interesting.
From racism to anti-Semitism
ASU is not under investigation just for racism. It is also one of 60 universities under federal scrutiny on anti-Semitism. This is especially rich from the same scholars who spent the last decade yelling, “Trump is Hitler.” Still, the Ministry of Education is now saying:
The department is extremely disappointed that Jewish students studying on elite US campuses continue to fear their safety amid more than a year of ruthless anti-Semitic eruptions that have disrupt campus life so badly. College leaders need to do better.
The professor supports Hamas and takes Jewish students to social media, leaving them open to harassment, and denounces Elon Musk as the Nazi. They need to look in the mirror. Perhaps the Ministry of Education will help them do so.
The university administrators who have imposed these discriminatory DEI programs should start by issuing public apology not only to Jewish students, but to all those suffering from racial-based policies, and to taxpayers who fund them.
If they reject it, it reveals one simple truth: they have not changed their beliefs. Perhaps they rely on bureaucratic rebranding and repackage the same DEI policy with a new name, whilst continuing their business as usual.
The road ahead
The only way to break this cycle is to dismantle the oppressor/repressed dialectic in all forms. The Marxist framework behind DEI must be publicly disclosed for what it is. It is a pseudo-scientific ideology that justifies discrimination under the guise of justice. It coincides with those who oppose the United States. Parents, students and faculty must demand transparency and refuse to participate in discriminatory programs.
Federal investigations are a step in the right direction, but they are not enough. Universities like ASU must face accountability not only legally but intellectually. Public universities are necessary to disclose what professors teach in the classroom. Taxpayer-funded faculty must be responsible for their actions like other government officials.
The awakened university system has long been dependent on the fantasies of moral authority, but that fantasy has collapsed. Under that leadership, the worst forms of discrimination flourished, and the people who were the loudest about justice were the worst criminals. The question is to grab this moment and force a real change, or do you allow these institutions to rebrand and continue the deceit notification with a new name?
