I was co-president of the LGB student faculty organization on my university campus for two years in the early - mid '90s. THEN I remember saying that "diversity" means 'in everything but thought.' This has been going on for a long time and it's just gotten worse.
Thank you for speaking out, Dr Lee. As I listened to you, I was also thinking about Richard Bilkszto. I still can't imagine the amount of hateful rhetoric that must have been directed at him by the self-proclaimed 'inclusive and kind' people. We cannot allow any more tragedies like his to happen.
@@ghostbuttster Thank you for looking into it. Richard's case should have been a nationwide scandal. It should have been all over the media. The only ones that did any in depth analysis was True North, The Free Press and the Western Standard.
Please don't give up. You are doing essential work. You are a great courageous soul, like the civil rights icons back in the day. God bless and much thanks.
@@Kookoo347 Biden is educated. He has a law degree. Education doesn't matter; the ability to think clearly, cogently, and critically is what makes a person articulate. He's inarticulate af. But don't let me stop you from finding victimhood in every thought, idea, sentence, or sentiment.
Legendary integrity. She should be running a department somewhere in my view. Individuals who advocate for impartial critical thinking, kindness and epistemic diversity, equity & inclusion often face persecution. Appreciate her dedication to humanizing all. Calling people in instead of calling people out; brilliant approach! Respect her mindset so much. Us vs bias. Us vs hatred. Epistemic justice and civil liberties for all.
This information is needed so urgently! I work for a civil rights agency and the number of colleagues who have bought into race essentialism is dismaying.
You are absolutely right. It's a front to push sick-minded ideologies onto the youth. They don't care about people coming together and societal growth.
She shared some information about that around @1:18 or so; she didn't focus on de-centering whiteness, and what she said (or the parts of what she said that the editor of this video allowed us to hear) implied she wanted white faculty members to be comfortable coming to a building, but the coordinator did not. I have to admit, though: that's not a lot of information.
@@longWriter That's what I was wondering too. I hate DEI...but if she approached wanting people to be ,"included" that may not be - for all kinds of stupid reasons, whether from prejudice, jealousy, envy, spite, entrenched paternalism etc... Then I would be more understanding of that.
I mean where supposed to listen to black voices and blm matters right. You shouldn't be fired for having different opinions no matter what color you are thats why this is divided as it is the floyed riots didn't do shit but made things worse 🤡🤡.
C'mon bro. In an interview with Peter Boghossian, she does admit her wrongs and she regrets being the pioneer for all of this woke stuff. If we continue to blame people like her then those same people will feel that the woke cult is the only safe spot. Having that mentally is the no different than the woke mob. I used to be an advocate of preferred pronouns and anti racism. Now that I see the harm it's doing, I do everything I can to go against this. To make sure no one makes the same mistake again.
@@fusionspaceart3690 I understand what you mean when you equate our disinclination to forgive or to pardon with the "woke mob's" disinclination to forgive or to pardon behaviors of their enemies: To you, it seems that both the "woke mob" and we are unwilling to leave a path open for redemption; the woke mob refuse to allow the redemption of the racist, the sexist, the transphobe, the **bigot**; whereas we refuse to allow this purple haired malcontent to redeem herself and make alliance with us. I understand your perspective. However, here's why both you and this woman are not to be trusted: you are motivated by your profound boredom to seek a moral battle against an external evil; it does not matter what form this evil takes (a racist, a bigot, a capitalist, an unscrupulous doctor, an institution, a woke mob, or anything that can be described as an oppressor), for your type does battle with "evil", and has done battle with "evil" for thousands of years now. The question for me is not whether this woman has reformed and atoned, but which crusade will she join next. There can be no appeasing the mob and offering refuge to those who become tired of their crusade; we can only redirect their energy to another "evil", or wait for the exhaustion of their energies. The fact this woman has defected suggets her lack of energy to continue to fight evil, so that at the same time she defects she also becomes virtually useless to me. Someone has already taken her place, and the example that has set will mean nothing to those who are still very much intoxicated with grandness of the ongoing moral battle between "good" and "evil". The "same mistake" you speak of will always be made, except in the future the battle lines between good and evil may be different. That you "used to be an advocate" tells me that you had been enraptured by the same struggle of Good v.s. Evil, but you have now reoriented yourself so that Evil includes the "woke mob" because you "see the harm its doing." "Harm" is an interestingly nebulous concept, isn't it? So many things could be said to cause invisible "harm". Is "harm" your evil to fight, your great Satan? Well, every Satan needs his Michael; every Jesus needs his Judas. And if we can't find him, we'll surely invent him. Enjoy your moral crusade, present and future. Happy fighting to you warrior.
I had an experience like this 15 years ago. I later learned that I was in a cult.
Sorry to hear that @petemcc152!
Wow. 15 years ago. How did you get involved with it and how did you leave the cult ?
I was in a cult as well and yes, this is what it is like to speak up in a cult...
@@VirtueMastery I'm really sorry . I hope you are in a much better place.
I think most of us had similar experiences, that brought us here
Gee, what a wrong thing to do to her. These people are incapable of introspection. Really a sad state we're in.
Diversity of thought will not be tolerated by DEI .
I was co-president of the LGB student faculty organization on my university campus for two years in the early - mid '90s. THEN I remember saying that "diversity" means 'in everything but thought.' This has been going on for a long time and it's just gotten worse.
Neither they will include other perspectives or equally consider all opinions
I love the strength she showed by choosing to shoulder her duty and attempt to win over her detractors rather than give in.
I was hoping that this woman sued the hell out of De Anza, but according to articles found on Google her case was dismissed and she got nothing.
Thank you for speaking out, Dr Lee. As I listened to you, I was also thinking about Richard Bilkszto. I still can't imagine the amount of hateful rhetoric that must have been directed at him by the self-proclaimed 'inclusive and kind' people. We cannot allow any more tragedies like his to happen.
Well said!🇨🇦
I just read up on the story about Bilkszto after seeing your comment. Hadn't heard about it before just now. Just heartbreaking!!!
@@ghostbuttster Thank you for looking into it. Richard's case should have been a nationwide scandal. It should have been all over the media. The only ones that did any in depth analysis was True North, The Free Press and the Western Standard.

She is incredibly articulate--thank you, Baby Jesus. This editor of 40+ years is grateful for every young person like Dr. Lee. PRACH, Mama!
She’s an educated woman, why wouldn’t she be articulate? Such a weird observation.

...,"With Lberty and Justice for all"...means exactly that.
Thank you, Dr. Lee!!! 💜💜💜
Horrific treatment! Beyond sad that this happened!!!
She was treated how she treated so many other people it just "isnt fair" when it got her
They need to start naming names of the people who treated her this way
The perps doing this go by pronouns..
Hard to arrest every
"They/Them"...
* Pretty sure using pronouns is part of the "anonymity" scheme
Dr. Tabia Lee. 'There's space for everyone here.' I just listened to this articulate woman in another show. She's worth her weight in gold.
We need more Dr. Tabia Lee's in this world!
Scary the overall treatment 😬 thank you for sharing your experience with all so sorry u had to loss ur job because you were doing the right things.
Oh my word!! What she describes is shocking! Thank you for being a whistle-blower!!!
Walked away from a tenured position as I watched the approach to this work go straight authoritarian....thanks for your courage. I support you!
One word comes to mind :"Cult"
Men in HR have been taking this for decades. Just count the number of Caucasian men in your HR department. You will need one hand only.
This information is needed so urgently! I work for a civil rights agency and the number of colleagues who have bought into race essentialism is dismaying.
I cannot imagine working in a toxic environment like this.
A hero in my book
What a legend.
In the first 15 seconds she explained how she was verbally assaulted by racism.
I'm glad she spoke up!
Bold of her to assume, that marxists would tolerate any kind of dissent.
"All are NOT welcome here"
"De-centering whiteness" a.k.a. payback discrimination...
Yeah, DEI has nothing to do with tolerance or diversity.
You are absolutely right. It's a front to push sick-minded ideologies onto the youth. They don't care about people coming together and societal growth.
White speaking and white splaining? Did they mean making sense?
Me lee go for et
To save you time she says "they did exactly what I did to other people to me and I don't like it I'm a victim!"
Just FYI, it would be great if she actually explains how her approach differed from DEI orthodoxy. Without that info, the video is meaningless.
She shared some information about that around @1:18 or so; she didn't focus on de-centering whiteness, and what she said (or the parts of what she said that the editor of this video allowed us to hear) implied she wanted white faculty members to be comfortable coming to a building, but the coordinator did not.

She is naive.
What a weird statement
Oh be quiet. At least she’s trying to change things, all you are is a keyboard warrior….more than likely from your mother’s basement.
I mean... you supported what led to this.
Yep. No sympathy from me.
I mean where supposed to listen to black voices and blm matters right. You shouldn't be fired for having different opinions no matter what color you are thats why this is divided as it is the floyed riots didn't do shit but made things worse 🤡🤡.
@lynx882 no sympathy for when thugs get shot by cops.

The colleague who talked to you is right, you really are a danger
The colleague that bullied her and constantly talk about racism are really the danger and the racists. And I thought black voices mattered.
brilliant brave lovely woman
