Why Was This Groundbreaking Study on DEI Silenced?

  Why Was This Groundbreaking Study on DEI Silenced? Two leading media organizations abruptly shelved coverage of a groundbreaking study that went against their narrative. Colin Wright In a stunning series of events, two leading media organizations— The New York Times  and Bloomberg—abruptly shelved coverage of a  groundbreaking study  that raises serious concerns about the psychological impacts of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) pedagogy. The  study , conducted by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) in collaboration with Rutgers University, found that certain DEI practices could induce hostility, increase authoritarian tendencies, and foster agreement with extreme rhetoric. With billions of dollars invested annually in these initiatives, the public has a right to know if such programs—heralded as effective moral solutions to bigotry and hate—might instead be fueling the very problems they claim to solve.

If women and men of the same size and training are matched, men may not necessarily be physically superior because women have greater endurance, balance, and flexibility”  (Judith Lorber and Patricia Yancey Martin, “ The Socially Constructed Body: Insights from Feminist Theory ,” p. 242). ** A few years ago, if one had said there were vast strength differences between men and women that mattered in competitive sports and elsewhere, that was a misogynistic remark. Feminist wisdom told us that sex differences in physical ability were predominantly caused by soc...
