Yeah.

That's one of the

We have very low viewpoint diversity to begin with.

And under these circumstances, administrators just start saying, you know what the problem is?

We have too much heterogeneous thought.

We're not homogeneous enough.

We actually need another political litmus test, which is nuts.

And that's what a DEI statement effectively is because there's no way to actually fill out a DEI statement without someone evaluating you on your politics.

It's crystal clear.

We even did an experiment on this.

Nate Honeycutt.

He got something like almost like 3,000 professors to participate evaluating different kinds of DEI statements.

And one was basically like the standard kind of identity politics intersectionality one.

One was about viewpoint diversity.

One was about religious diversity.

And one was about socioeconomic diversity.

And as far as where my heart really is, it's that we have too little socioeconomic diversity, particularly in elite higher ed, but also in education period.

So the experiment had large participation, really interestingly set up, and it tried to model the way a lot of these DEI policies were actually implemented.

And one of the ways these have been implemented, and I think in some of the California schools, is that administrators go through the DEI statements before anyone else looks at them and then eliminates people off the top depending on how –

how they feel about their DEI statements.
