Chief diversity officers harm the students they say they help

Chief diversity officers harm the students they say they help. Test scores find minority students had greater learning loss in districts with bureaucrats pushing an agenda.
Hiring a senior district official who insists that Black and Hispanic students not be held to the same standards of behavior or academic achievement as other students because of structural racism obviously undermined minority student success. Jay P. Greene is a senior research fellow in the Center for Education Policy at the Heritage Foundation.
Our national analysis of test scores finds that minority students had significantly greater learning loss during the pandemic in school districts that had hired chief diversity officers than in districts without one. Black and Hispanic test scores plummeted in districts with a chief diversity officer by an even wider margin than they did among White students in the same districts.
