  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

DEI and other leftist initiatives at Christian colleges?

Equity specifically refers to justice, that is the meaning of the word (equitas in Latin means something like "fairness"). Distributive justice is part of that.
Equity refers to equal outcome, this is why it's flawed. You can never have equal outcome in life as everyone has different
skills and abilities in life.

Equal opportunity means everyone gets the same chance to go to the field they desire.

Ironically, the Scandanavian countries were far ahead of the rest of the West when it came to providing
equal opportunities for both males and females. What they came to learn is that the divide between
male and female outcomes grew further apart. They did not expect this to happen, but it did.

In fact, here in the US, 70% of the female lawyers who are just about to receive partnerships in law firms,
quit. They come to learn that there is more to life than earning big bucks and working for a firm 80 hours
a week.

In all this, the far left keeps pushing their equity ideology, which will fail. However, if it goes on for too long,
it will take society down with them.
