Ep. 3 - Paved with Good Intentions: BYU's Race Equity and Belonging Report

How to fight back: Give feedback on the Race Equity Belonging Report  here.

BYU's Committee on Race Equity and Belonging Report is out. Episodes 1 gave important background information and built the case that America, in contrast to the story we are told by everyone, is not a deeply racist place. Episode 2 explained critical race theory, its roots, problems, and permeation into the academy. With that background, I take on BYU's Race Equity and Belonging Report. This episode examines and challenges the claims of racism at BYU and explains how counterproductive the recommendations are for all races. This report was made with good intentions and its recommendations are so extensive they would mean a new direction for the university. But you know what they say about where roads paved with good intentions go... why did you say that?! ... how was I supposed to know you would think of that word? We don't use that word here! Oh, now I'm the bad guy...
