Merely dumping the UNLV diversity czar is not enough

UNLV President Neal Smatresk has dumped the head of the university’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion — who brought us that head-spinning, 14-page, free speech killing Policy on Bias Incidents and Hate Crimes that fortunately was scrapped — back to classroom duties.

Fine.

But he plans to ask the ousted one, Christine Clark, to help him search for a new vice president for Diversity and Inclusion.

There is absolutely no need to waste one dime of tax and tuition money on this superfluous office. The UNLV campus is so rife with political corrections, there is a far greater need for someone to challenge reverse discrimination.

R-J columnist Glenn Cook, who was among the first to blow the whistle on Clark’s outrageous behavior, recently predicted, apparently mistakenly, that the whole office would be blown up along with the $160,000-a-year job of veep.

One can hope Smatresk will rethink this and spend the money on something worthwhile.

Meanwhile, Clark will keep her outrageous salary while serving as a full professor in the College of Education, where she will be Senior Scholar in Multicultural Education.

Would you want your children being taught by teachers who were indoctrinated by someone who wrote this, including the items in parens?:

“A.  ‘Bias Incidents’ refers to verbal, written, or physical acts of intimidation, coercion, interference, frivolous claims, discrimination, and sexual or other harassment motivated, in whole or in part, by bias based on actual or perceived race, ethnicity, color, religion, creed, sex (including gender identity or expression, or a pregnancy related condition), sexual orientation, national origin, military status or military obligations, disability (including veterans with service-connected disabilities), age, marital status, physical appearance, political affiliation, or on the basis of exercise of rights secured by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.”

The First Amendment does not need to be rewritten by some diversity czar. If this is the kind of people running our education colleges, we are in deep trouble.
