Trump's anti-DEI crusade has been illegal viewpoint discrimination from the get go

court permanently blocks the defunding of NPR


Moss ruled that President Donald Trump’s executive order to cease funding for NPR and PBS (https://apnews.com/article/npr-pbs-public-broadcasting-trump-cuts-73de8fadf32655aa74752690d22a3758) is unlawful and unenforceable. The judge said the First Amendment right to free speech “does not tolerate viewpoint discrimination and retaliation of this type.”


It is difficult to conceive of clearer evidence that a government action is targeted at viewpoints that the President does not like and seeks to squelch,

Texas A&M recently banned Plato's Symposium and business ethics because gender and race get mentioned

it's currently purging "illegal DEi" from the whole campus


You live long enough as a trans person, and you begin to learn when people are talking about you without talking about you. Family members discuss your "situation" in hushed tones. People try to figure out what your whole deal is while you're standing right in front of them. You become no longer a person, but a "controversial topic" to be litigated. This is how Texas A&M talks about real people and real students. I'm now faced with the dilemma of holding a degree from an institution of learning that may discipline professors for teaching that people like me exist. https://www.chron.com/culture/article/texas-a-m-transgender-aggies-21941367.php

Romeo and Juliet is too sexy, Joan of Arc is too gendered

Radical Republican gender ideology is causing a brain drain


Bell, who teaches medieval history, is headed to the City University of New York, where he will “be teaching the exact same thing, but unredacted.” In order to keep his spring classes from getting held up in an opaque, monthslong course-review process, Bell removed Romeo and Juliet from his syllabus because “in Act III, Romeo and Juliet have sex, and that falls under this very broadly defined sexuality [topics ban].” He also didn’t teach about Joan of Arc this semester.


“She’s not a terribly controversial figure these days—she was in the 14th century—but that was part of my lectures that had to be removed” because her story is so intertwined with gender identity, he said.

Data shows that ‘the United States has experienced a remarkably sharp drop in institutional autonomy compared to other countries in Western Europe and North America,’ the report states. The decline began in 2020 and intensified last year, driven by ‘an unprecedented array of coercive federal executive measures that amplified and fueled state-level pressures on autonomous universities’. Attacks by the Trump administration targeted faculty members, staff and students, the report notes.

Arlington National Cemetary scrubbing nonwhite and women soldiers from the website and their educational materials is very woke indeed


But in recent weeks, the cemetery’s public website has scrubbed dozens of pages on gravesites and educational materials that include histories of prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members buried in the cemetery, along with educational material on dozens of Medal of Honor recipients and maps of prominent gravesites of Marine Corps veterans and other services.


Cemetery officials confirmed to Task & Purpose that the pages were “unpublished” to meet recent orders by President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth targeting race and gender-related language and policies in the military.

Gone from public view are links to lists of dozens of “Notable Graves” at Arlington of women and Black and Hispanic service members who are buried in the cemetery.https://taskandpurpose.com/news/arlington-cemetery-scrubs-website-dei/

Since our public information may allow for a multiplicity of
groups, the same speech act may virtue signal when evaluated with respect to one
group’s preferred evaluative standards and vice signal when evaluated with respect
to another group’s. In the central cases of virtue-signaling-as-vice-signaling cases,
like the Son of Baldwin case given in the introduction, it is precisely because an act
is thought to vice signal with respect to the out-group’s standards that it functions
as virtue signaling in the in-group

The discussion of the pros and cons of vice signaling in this section will presume
this level of generality to the insights about moral grandstanding discussed so far.
I take it that vice signaling has many of the same potential benets and upshots
that virtue signaling or grandstanding have generally, as Levy’s article explains:
vice signaling can express genuinely held moral commitments and contribute to
public discussion.

But it is nevertheless worth mentioning two benefit that are
especially salient for the vice-signaling subset of virtue-signaling actions.

Republican legislators dictating curriculum and political ideology to Texas universities won't end well for Texas universities


Texas Tech University faculty say restrictions on instruction about race, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation prompted changes or requests for changes in 277 courses, according to a new survey (https://www.depts.ttu.edu/senate/docs/SurveyReport_Senate_Ad_Hoc_Response_2026.pdf).

The Faculty Senate survey found about half of respondents said they changed course content on their own because of concerns about the memos from system leaders, while roughly a quarter said administrators or other university personnel asked them to.

More than half of the 367 respondents noted they were looking for jobs elsewhere because of the restrictions that started trickling down in the fall semester.

"trying to remedy race/gender-based discrimination and deprivation of rights is the most racist/sexist policy of all"



In 1966, the newly-established Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued a rule to tackle entrenched discrimination on the job.

Every year, companies with a hundred or more workers would turn over to the government information about the race, ethnicity, sex and job categories of their employees.

This EEO-1 data, as it's known, has helped the federal agency figure out where people of color and women are not getting hired or promoted. Over decades, the EEOC's work has led to settlements worth billions.

Now, as part of a realignment of civil rights enforcement under President Trump, the EEOC is seeking to end its annual data collection while also getting rid of a 1979 regulation that allowed employers to take certain steps to address race and gender imbalances revealed by the data.

mentioning slavery, colonial immigrants and women's suffrage is "corrosive ideology" at Bunker Hill, according to the National Park Service



The National Park Service has ordered the removal of three quotes at the Bunker Hill Monument in Boston commemorating a Revolutionary War battle because they have run afoul of President Donald Trump’s policy seeking to scrub “corrosive ideology” from federal institutions.

The site includes panels with quotes from historic figures or writings that reflect on the 200-year-old monument. A visitor at the site complained to park staff about a quote related to women’s suffrage as being “woke” feminist ideology, the people familiar said, and the visitor later sent an email complaint.

That prompted a wider review of material at the site that ultimately led the agency to order the removal of the three quotes in time for the 251st anniversary of the monument on June 17, two of the people said. The panel quotes have not yet been removed. Katie Martin, a spokeswoman for the Interior Department, which oversees the Park Service, responded to questions about the removal order by calling it “a routine exhibit refresh.”

When Gregory Williams was 10, the life he had known changed forever. It was not just because his father’s tavern, which had supported the family, had failed. Or because his mother had left with two of his younger siblings, Rita and Anthony, when she could no longer take the beatings from her alcoholic husband.


What most shifted his course was the thunderclap of a revelation that his father, James, delivered on a bus trip to Muncie, Ind., from their home near Alexandria, Va., in 1954. James Williams confessed to Gregory and his younger brother Lehman, known as Mike, that he was “colored” and had been able to pass for white because of his olive skin, letting others believe he was Italian American. And not only that: The Black woman named Sallie, whom his sons had known as a maid and cook, was, in fact, their grandmother.


At first, Gregory refused to believe that he and his brother, who had pale skin and straight hair, could be Black.


“Life is going to be different from now on,” his father told them, as Gregory Williams later recounted in his memoir, “Life on the Color Line: The True Story of a White Boy Who Discovered He Was Black” (1995). “In Virginia, you were white boys. In Indiana, you’re going to be colored boys. I want you to remember that you’re the same today that you were yesterday. But people in Indiana will treat you differently.”

In the book Like Men of War: Black Troops in the Civil War 1862-1865, historian Noah Andre Trudeau wrote that by January 1866 there were 6,500 white soldiers and 19,768 black soldiers in Texas—a three to one ratio.

After Lee’s surrender, they shipped the 25th Army Corps out of Virginia to Fort Galveston, Texas on June 6, 1865.


They seized this area and chased their enemies into Mexico.


The Black soldiers of the 25th Army Corps also spread word about freedom, and historians estimate that thousands of enslaved people escaped because of these soldiers.


On June 19, 1865, some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay to announce that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free by General Order No. 3.

In an unpublished but extant document from about this time, Ōta states that Nobunaga made Yasuke a vassal, giving him a house, servants, a sword, and a stipend. During this period, the definition of samurai was ambiguous, but historians think that this would contemporaneously have been seen as the bestowing of warrior or “samurai” rank. This is where the claim that Yasuke was a samurai originates.

The Confederate force was 5 times their size but they fixed bayonets and charged. In 5 minutes, 215 of the 262 were casualties, 82% of the force. But the attack blunted the Rebel assault and sowed confusion, buying time for reinforcements to arrive, and Hancock held the line on Cemetery Ridge.

Postwar, both General Hancock and U.S. President (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._President) Calvin Coolidge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_Coolidge) praised the actions of the 1st Minnesota. Gen. Hancock, who witnessed the action firsthand, placed its heroism highest in the annals of war:[30] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Minnesota_Infantry_Regiment#cite_note-31) "No soldiers on any field, in this or any other country ever displayed grander heroism." Gen. Hancock ascribed unsurpassed gallantry to the famed assault stating: "There is no more gallant deed recorded in history."[31] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Minnesota_Infantry_Regiment#cite_note-32) Emphasizing the critical nature of the circumstances on July 2 at Gettysburg, President Coolidge considered: "Colonel Colvill and those eight companies of the First Minnesota are entitled to rank as the saviors of their country."

forced confession




The basic facts of the case are undisputed: A group of students sat in the audience while FIU President Jeanette Nuñez held an on-campus event March 13 with former Major League Baseball star Alex Rodriguez. About a half hour into the program, students stood up and unveiled shirts that said “ICE OFF FIU,” and stood silently for a few minutes. They then left the event.

FIU maintains that the silent protest violated a campus policy against “expressive activities” taking place indoors.

Trump wants to censor and Trumpify the Smithsonian


"The Smithsonian Institution, and the National Museum of American History in particular, under its current leadership and current interpretive ideology, cannot be trusted to tell America's story honestly and in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic," according to the report by the council, which is led by a former top Trump speechwriter.

The authors added: "As this report shows, confirmed in the words of Museum leadership, this ideological capture has moved the Museum's mission away from straightforward historical education and scholarship toward an extreme political activism that seeks to transform our country."https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/white-house-report-brands-smithsonian-leadership-as-radical-activists-who-cant-be-trusted

woke is when Republicans spend millions to mandate state indoctrination at a university and only one person signs up


Only one student has registered for courses at West Virginia University’s new Washington Center, an academic program mandated by Republican lawmakers for the campus.

State lawmakers have allocated $3 million in state dollars to the “Washington Center for Civics, Culture and Statesmanship” in the last two years ahead of it officially opening this fall.

“I do think that it’s important for the Legislature and for the governor to reflect on this… there is a question about whether or not this is the best use of public funds,” said Erik Herron, a professor of political science at WVU. “I think the Washington Center, ironically, seems to be exactly what it complains that higher education has become. It was created in Charleston, and it was imposed on the university, so it’s a big government mandate.”



“Dr. Miller and the Washington Center are going to push back on the woke ideology that has infected our schools and help return higher education to its true purpose,” Morrisey said during a press conference last year.

House Bill 3297 (https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Text_HTML/2025_SESSIONS/RS/bills/hb3297%20sub1%20enr.pdf) mandated that WVU operate the Washington Center focused on teaching constitutional studies and “great debates of Western civilization.”

Proposed college courses (https://www.wcwvu.org/courses) this fall include “Woke,” “Nation and Migration” and “The New Right.” The center has hired faculty members ahead of its launch.

“As of June 22, one student was enrolled in three separate Washington Center courses,” said Shauna Johnson, WVU’s executive director of strategic communications. “Twenty-four courses were originally proposed/listed for the Fall 2026 semester. Eighteen are now available.”

The $3 million in state funding, which included $1.5 million in the Fiscal Year 2027 budget, also covers a scholarship available to Washington Center students.

woke was annoying, but at the end of the day it was mainly elective coursework and changing social mores in the public sphere

by contrast, anti-woke state censorship is already prevalent and right-wing political indoctrination is becoming a core requirement at colleges
