Summary

In this episode of Clarity from Chaos, host David Campbell and guest Dr. Stanley Ridgley delve into the contentious topic of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). They explore the perceived decline of DEI since the Obama presidency, the corruption within DEI organizations, and the role of well-meaning individuals who unknowingly support a flawed system. Dr. Ridgely argues that DEI is not about creating a level playing field but rather a con game that has infiltrated higher education, particularly after the events of 2020. The conversation also touches on the government's role in regulating DEI and the importance of critical thinking in education.
