Not even Armando Iannucci would write a scene this stupid and unbelievable.I’m just gonna’ get right into it: In an attempt to defend a trash bill that would force public colleges and universities in Kentucky to get rid of their diversity departments, a 68-year-old white elected official told a predominantly Black audience that her white father was a white slave. Not even Armando Iannucci would write a scene this stupid and unbelievable.
Decker’s the sponsor of Kentucky House Bill 9, a state education bill that would get rid of DEI initiatives, which she believes makes secondary education “divided, more expensive, and less tolerant,”Louisville Public Media. She was invited to the NAACP event in early February to, essentially, discuss what the fuck she’s talking about.
If HB9, which was co-sponsored by 19 other white Republicans, passes, the state’s public colleges and universities would have to get rid of any DEI departments, positions, or coursework by June 30. And any students who’ve taken courses that the bill defines as promoting “discriminatory concepts” would no longer be allowed to use those credits towards their degree.
