NewHere's the problem

...with acting against "DEI" or "woke-ness" without understanding what is really at hand. Tubman was emphatically diverse, all about equitability, and worked for inclusiveness of her people in our country, but in a way that really all of us could endorse. I've seen a few examples of this sort of thing where a thinking person would say "you know, this really isn't on the fringe at all, or afoul of the legal prohibitions on quotas and the like".

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
