How your tax dollars are used as a sop to race theory--anti-racism initiatives

“For years, Ohio State University has championed this idea (race and bad health) through evidence-based implicit bias workshops for faculty, staff and college admissions committees, not just at The Ohio State University, but also at medical schools throughout the United States. " (Medical Wexner Center, Ohio State University, recent announcement)

Apparently, the current push for more critical race theory embedded in every department and every course, plus special required "workshops" shows that OSU has failed in this mission, and is using this time of pandemic as another excuse for more tax payer grant money.

Has even one black child or parent benefited from this focus in the past? How many black doctors has OSU graduated since the Civil Rights Act of the 1960s? OSU is not listed as "graduated 350 or more black or African American physicians between 1980 and 2012." Over 30 years. That's a dismal record--and it includes African and Caribbean foreign doctors.

The Kirwan Center on Race and Ethnicity at OSU is 17 years old--it needs a steady infusion of money to support its huge staff and publications and overhead, thus more hype on race. Earlier on its website it announced "solidarity with BLM." It's a relic of the failed liberal/left model of academe and they are racing to catch up, to pretend to be "woke." OSU administration also has a huge diversity and inclusion staff, as does every department in the university.

By declaring racism is not aberrant, but endemic and permanent, these race hustlers in academe assure themselves of positions, power and promotion.

Why Is It So Hard to Talk about Race?

Ohio State University is announcing yet another useless discussion, or  “conversation.” When race and conversation appear together you know you’re about to get a lecture and a dose of “reeducation” about how terrible the U.S., and you're a part of it because you're white. It's microaggression and unconscious bias.  It’s not about racial equality. It's indoctrination. It's about power. And now the same people who apparently failed with billions of dollars in grants over the last 50 years, are going to fix it. Like Nancy Pelosi--after 40 years in government she'll get it right this time by knocking down statues.  You should see the bold black letters on the website of the Kirwin Institute. SOLIDARITY WITH BLACK LIVES MATTER.  The Kirwin is almost 20 years old.  It's a relic of the failed liberal/left model of academe and they are racing to catch up, to pretend to be "woke." The educators who have led the way for so many years with failed programs have completely lost control of the narrative and handed it over to the anarchists.  And by the way, William "Brit" Kirwin is a white man.

Announcement:

Amid unprecedented levels of attention on racial equality, it can still be difficult to name and discuss the problems we face. Hosted by the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity, this webinar addresses the challenges people of color and white people have when discussing race, including realities and the fear of consequences. The webinar is Thursday, June 25 from 1-2 p.m.” 

I  looked through some of its annual reports and research articles.  No solutions, just harangues.  Nothing about schools that succeed, small businesses that promote wealth, community organizations that actually improve conditions. Nope.  Mortgage discrimination; health disparities; payday loan rip offs.  So, if all that money spent and staff salaries paid out, perhaps they can join the anarchists.

The Kirwin Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity

I've been looking through the programming, publications and propaganda put out by the Kirwin Institute here at Ohio State University in Columbus and find nothing but hopelessness, divisiveness, anger, and hatred. Why are we employing people to constantly be stirring the pot? Were there not enough academics in the Black Studies, Women Studies, Social Work, Public Health, etc. departments to do this? I read one heart breaking piece on the black women, forgotten, being pulled out of the Anthony Sowell property in Cleveland a year ago. No mention that the killer was a black man--just condemnation of a racist society that cares so little when a black woman disappears. No mention that a few had never been reported missing by their families.

Some samples, just in case anything were resolved, to continue the employment of the staff:

Social justice issues are never static and new challenges and issues are constantly emerging [so we can keep our grant money flowing?].

In addition to our core research areas, the Institute has several emerging research initiatives that are responsive to new issues that have profound impacts on racial and ethnic groups. . . Our work operates on the premise that opportunities exist in a complex web of interdependent factors, and that to alleviate inequities in any single area, we must first consider the entire structure that supports these inequities. [We're on a roll--let's see how far we can go with this web!]

Inequality has a geographic footprint. We have pioneered the use of maps to communicate the history and presence of discriminatory and exclusionary policies that spatially segregate people [Let's draw in academics from geography and urban planning.]

You get the idea. This is a funding scheme that will never end.
