An interesting, but controversial take on DEI/EDI policy, particularly in a curriculum. My feeling is that the author misses and misunderstands some of the important work necessary in this area.

But he mentions it, and uses it as a base. And "fringe" can mean a single person, or a few hundreds of thousands. This is intentionally vague and misleading.

Authoritarianism is not about how many people understand a word.

Rolling your eyes is not the same as making a weird discriminatory and anti-diversity blog post.

And I stopped when I saw that each paragraph contained a mix of fallacies and intolerance, because I don't see the point of inflicting more to myself. My critic stands.
