WKCR is the number one listened-to radio station in NYC. It is not ‘merely’ a student music station. Journalism is a core part of their coverage. And they covered the original protest in Spring 2024 at an impressively high professional level.
Here’s the latest BS out of academic libraries. Somehow this made it out of peer review.
Identity-based DEI training engages with amorphous and ideologically-laden topics such as the causes of racial inequalities and why “dismantling” white supremacy culture is required to eliminate them. Abstract ideas such as these are examples of what Lifton calls “thought-terminating clichés;” that is, a proposition that is both unfalsifiable and “relies on disabling the recipients’ critical faculties to cause itself to be replicated.” That DEI training materials are often accompanied by glossaries reflects a recognition that the words and concepts of the DEI lexicon, such as equity, inclusion, anti-racism, and white supremacy, carry specific meanings that are substantially different from their commonly understood meanings in the broader society. […] Getting someone to use words differently from what they believe they mean, or to repeat phrases that are not their own and that they do not really understand, is manipulative behavior and is a violation of that person’s freedom of thought.
… and so forth.
Don’t get me wrong, Kristin Antelman is – or at least was – a respected voice in academic library leadership. But this is beyond the pale.
