Diversity Trumps Woke

Submitted by ub on

Principles of freedom and diversity, equity, and inclusion may sometimes and perhaps increasingly disagree and often collide.

The notion is wrong in suggesting that freedom must always prevail in this clash of values. This conclusion is terrible not just as a matter of principle but also as a matter of law.

No matter how revered the rights conferred by the First Amendment are undoubtedly some of our most revered, they are never absolute. As a matter of law, even the most fundamental rights can be infringed if necessary to achieve some more pressing public purpose.

We are all responsible for living together in peace and working towards improving our global quality of life.

There are multiple types of diversity: internal, external, organizational, and worldview.

  • Internal diversity. 
  • External diversity. 
  • Organizational diversity. 
  • Worldview diversity.

But, generally, when it comes to workplaces, there are seven primary types of diversity we can see:

  • Race and Ethnicity. ... 
  • Age and Generation. ... 
  • Gender and Gender Identity. ... 
  • Sexual Orientation. ... 
  • Religious and Spiritual Beliefs. ... 
  • Disability. ... 
  • Socioeconomic Status and Background.

Woke means being conscious of racial discrimination and other oppression and injustices.
