The Problems with DEI
The podcast episode explores two major issues with the concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The first problem is the inherent discrimination in the concept, treating underperforming groups as victims and overachieving groups as villains. This leads to situations like the "Electids of Color" holiday party in Boston, which is discriminatory. The second problem is the promotion of mediocrity, where success is seen as sinful and failure as virtuous. This is evident in academia, where diversity is preferred over meritocracy, as well as in Chicago's plans to eliminate high achieving selective enrollment schools.
