Paul and the University of Arkansas&#8217;s Robert Maranto, is the first to empirically estimate the prevalence of diversity statements in higher education, which they say may narrow the research questions that academics feel comfortable addressing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cUsing a representative sample of 999 job postings, the study found that 19 percent require a diversity statement; that the statements are significantly more common at elite schools than non-elite ones; and that jobs in STEM\u2014science, technology, engineering, and mathematics\u2014are just as likely as jobs in the social sciences to require a diversity statement from applicants.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5371\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif 500w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line-300x22.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more-->&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They aren\u2019t even trying to hide their <a href=\"https:\/\/legalinsurrection.com\/2021\/12\/detroit-superintendent-opposes-crt-ban-in-michigan-our-curriculum-is-deeply-using-crt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">praxis<\/a> of Critical Race Theory.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn a school board meeting on November 9, Dr. Nikolai Vitti, the superintendent of Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD), urged the board to oppose a ban on Critical Race Theory (CRT) in public schools in Michigan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cVitti urged the board to oppose a bill passed by the state House banning certain aspects of CRT, saying DPSCD is \u2018very intentional\u2019 about embedding CRT: \u2018Our curriculum is deeply using critical race theory, especially in social studies, but you\u2019ll find it in English Language Arts and the other disciplines.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5371\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif 500w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line-300x22.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Out: Academically challenging curriculum: In: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10335075\/Michigan-public-school-district-offers-21-day-equity-challenge-white-privilege-checklist.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">21-day equity challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cPublic school district in Michigan offers a \u201921-day equity challenge\u2019 that includes \u2018white privilege checklists\u2019 and culminates with a call to \u2018join a BLM or affiliated protest\u2019 \u2013 and a list of \u2018microaggressions to avoid,\u2019 including calling America \u2018the land of opportunity\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cA public school district in Michigan has encouraged its staff to participate in a 21-day \u2018Equity Challenge\u2019, exploring themes such as identity and intersectionality, race and class privilege, implicit bias and microaggressions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cParticipants were told that telling a student America is the \u2018land of opportunity\u2019 is a \u2018microaggression\u2019 that minimizes their concerns about having a successful future, according to Farmington Public Schools documentation on its website.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TTFN.<\/p>\n<p><meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@PoliticHatBlog\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ThePoliticalHat\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Dictates Of Academia: Diversity Statement Required;
