401. Colleges still turning their backs on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is shameful
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026

Donald Trump and his administration have shown themselves to be fully racist. From the ICE policies to the Obamas ape video and everything in between, for these schools to continually cave to him is to support his racism. The Washington Post article below speaks to the ways in which so many colleges & universities have given up on any efforts on inclusivity. As someone who speaks at schools regularly and teaches at one, I am seeing the expected consequences of this first hand and it's disgusting. What do you think?
