Decode The Left with Karlyn Borysenko

On a stream I did today, I had an epiphany about DEI, namely that we need to be very specific about the problem.

Diversity is not inherently bad.

Inclusion is not inherently bad.

It’s the EQUITY piece that causes all of the problems.

And, of course, equity means Marxism.

The video clip from the stream is available on karlyn.substack.com under this podcast episode, or you can listen to the audio version of the podcast for additional commentary on it.

I've brought you several stories in the last few weeks of school districts all over the country that are lying to parents about the name and pronouns their kids are using in school. You can find that reporting on my Substack: https://karlyn.substack.com But I'm not the only one doing this research. Parents Defending Education has compiled information showing that withholding information from parents is school policy in 6,000 schools across the country. Read the article in the New York Post, which also links to the list from Parents Defending Ed: https://nypost.com/2023/03/08/us-public-schools-conceal-childs-gender-status-from-parents/

A little less than two years ago at this time, I was working my book Actively Unwoke: The Ultimate Guide for Fighting Back Against the Woke Insanity In Your Life. In chapter 4 of my book, I have a list of 11 Rules for the Actively Unwoke. It’s a play on Saul Alinsky’s rules for radicals. And the very first rule I write about is the most important: Know Your Values. If you don’t know what you’re fighting for then it is inevitable that you will exist in a perpetual state of fighting AGAINST a political tribe rather than fighting TO CREATE a better world.Here is the accompanying Substack article that articulates my values that I mentioned in the podcast: https://karlyn.substack.com/p/rule-1-for-the-actively-unwoke-know
