Tuesday's Terrific Absurdities: Abbott Pops DEI, Malloy Debunks Mayor Pete, and Libertarians Nominate Another Looooser

Let’s start with this great news out of my home state of Texas:

Text:

In documents obtained by The Texas Tribune and in public testimony before senators, leaders from all of Texas’ seven university systems said they have closed multicultural offices, fired or reassigned DEI staff and stopped requiring diversity statements.

[End]

Man, don’t you know the social justice warriors at the Texas Tribune hated having to write that report.

In Texas, this is what we refer to as “a good start,” but the work of rooting the poisonous, Maoist DEI ideology out of our university systems has just begun. Now that the formal DEI offices have been shut down, the effort must be expanded to the professors pushing the poison, along with the textbooks and curricula in which it has been embedded.

But it’s a good start, and thank you to Gov. Greg Abbott and the Republican majorities in both houses of the Texas legislature for making it happen.
