Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion are Newspeak: “The invented language in 1984 to control the thought process and a system of brutal simplification that prevents complex thought or the expression of any concept not in line with the totalitarian government’s orthodoxy.” Need proof?
The Barre City Council got an earful from citizens concerned about three members of the city Diversity and Equity Committee telling fellow committee member William Toborg he should quit because he’s pro-life, and Chair Joelen Mulvaney’s emailed threat to mute him at future meetings.
Nothing says inclusive like suppressing other people’s words which (coincidentally) is a working item on the political Left’s bucket list. Just ask parents, taxpayers, and anyone who dares to say anything contrary to the approved progressive narrative. They label it disinformation, hate speech, or conspiracy theory. Whatever they believe their anodyne sheeple will swallow.
“I am conservative. I am pro-life, proudly….I have always believed in fighting for the powerless,” an attitude that conforms with and inspires his pro-life beliefs, Toborg said. Also, “I was concerned about the anti-Catholic bigotry at that meeting.” …
“I am concerned about the otherization that is going on,” Toborg said, citing a midwestern man running over a teenager because he thought was Republican. “There are forces here that want to divide us. There are forces that want us to express hatred against each other.”
Yes, there are, and many of them are drawn to positions on committees with names like anti-discrimination and equity, diversity, and inclusion.
