Diversity Thursday

I'm not sure if Charmane or Clarence are related, but nonetheless, both of their jobs are prime candidates to put at the top of a short-list in any manpower efficiency review. Why can't Clarence send out his own emails? Why must Charmane just cut-n-past what is already in the attachment and claim as her own? 

The mind ponders in our latest edition of, "As the Rent-Seekers Turn."

I'm going to give you as little D&G as possible, as long time readers of DivThu don't need a primer on primary and secondary education performance differentials leading to skewed entering-cohort metrics. You don't need to hear again about the horror show of officially sanctioned and taxpayer subsidized discrimination based on self-described race and ethnicity as it is practiced by the DOD's branch of the diversity industry. You don't need me to toot my own horn about the warning I have last decade that the Orwellian "Unconscious Bias" cultists would get their nose in the tent. No, you're fully up to speed. 

Just sit back and enjoy, you're paying for it.

If anyone is new here, just get a fresh cup of coffee and click the "Diversity" tab to get up to speed.

BEHOLD!
