Yet another way we offer up our minds when we could just think for ourselves
EDI training. What will they think of next?
vol. 2 issue 56
Greetings,
I learned a new “word” this week: EDI. It means “equality, diversity, and inclusion” and is now an entire industry, complete with its own academic journal, presumably read by the EDI facilitators who run such training for any number and types of organizations who are concerned that they are not woke enough. I guess when you’re no longer a part of the corporate world as is the case with me, or the companies you’ve worked for are untroubled by the level of “wokeness” however little or great it may be, and so do not hire EDI trainers, also the case with me and my past employers, then it’s easy to remain unaware of such things.
But I know about it now, and have some thoughts.
The first is that it’s certainly a good thing that people are talking about how, as a nation overall, we’ve not been equal, not welcomed diversity, not had hearts swelling with an inclusive love of our fellow americans. Because overall, we haven’t.
My second thought…
