At University of Central Florida the DEI scam is alive and well and costs more than $4 million a year

Radical Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programming has been adopted by the University of Central Florida. There are 14 individual DEI programs at the university that cost $4 million.

These programs, long in the making, exploded into prominence following the death of George Floyd in 2020. As the administration signaled that it was endorsing the Black Lives Matter movement, the academic departments immediately fell into line. The sociology department pledged allegiance to BLM and blasted the "anti-Blackness at the heart of US white-supremacist culture." The physics department released a statement promising to address "systemic anti-Black racism in policing" and its own "power and privilege." The anthropology department published a statement denouncing white European "hegemonic systems" and vowed to "advocate for a more inclusive society based on the principles of cultural relativism."
