  • The university's DEI bureaucrats published an official "Inclusive Language Guide" that condemns words such as "husband," "wife," "mother," "father," "Mr.," and "Mrs.," as "non-inclusive." Instead, students are told to use the words "partner," "caregivers," "Mx.," and "they/them."

  • In this narrative, white Christians are the oppressor—the lessons describe "Judeo-Christian holidays" as a form of "cultural imperialism"—and "trans," "non-binary," and "Black people" are the oppressed. Whites must confront their "privilege"; minorities must seize "power."

  • They valorize only left-wing causes, such as BLM, #MeToo, and anti-gun activism.

  • FIU has also created what amounts to a racial spoils system. Some scholarships are explicitly segregated by race. One is for "minority doctoral candidates" only—no whites need apply. Another denies all students who are not "African American or Hispanic." This is illegal.
