apple.newsTownship promotes DEI in rebuke to Trump administration — MLive.comKALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI -- As the Trump administration takes aim at diversity, equity and inclusion, Oshtemo Township is embracing the concepts.

Periodic public service reminder and my thought for the day.

We do not have an abundance problem, we have a greed problem. Greed shows up in more than the monetary sense. We see land certain governments are unwilling to share. We see greed for power. The list goes on. We, as a species, need to put our big kid pants on.

“I need people to see how systemic racism behaves.

I would love for there to be more Black physicians because that can help to solve the problem,” she says in a video interview with Fortune. “But the other piece of it is we need physicians who are not Black to be able to adequately and competently care for Black people as well.”

When Dr. Uché Blackstock, MD left her faculty position in academic medicine four years ago, she had no way of knowing she was making a life-or-death decision. After enduring years of racism and sexism in a toxic work environment, she’d had enough and decided to prioritize her own mental health and well-being. Now, on the heels of the release of her debut memoir, "Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine," which also takes a critical look at the intersection of racism and healthcare, Blackstock is grateful she chose herself. In n 2019, Blackstock founded her consultancy, Advancing Health Equity, as a way to dismantle racism in healthcare by partnering with health organizations to diversify their hiring and combat racial health inequities. With Black women accounting for less than 3% of U.S. doctors (even though Black people make up 13% of the U.S. population), Blackstock is aware that training more Black physicians is only part of the solution. “I would love for there to be more Black physicians because that can help to solve the problem,” she says in a video interview with Fortune. “But the other piece of it is we need physicians who are not Black to be able to adequately and competently care for Black people as well.” Read more: bit.ly/3Sxn36R | 38 comments on LinkedIn

The Cass review into children’s gender care should shame us all - New Statesman

Three and a half years after it began, we finally have the findings of Dr Hilary Cass’s review into NHS youth gender identity services. It is a damning indictment of how badly we, as a society, have let down a group of vulnerable and highly distressed children.

Author and activist Don Winslow rightly says that “Donald Trump should have been taken out of the White House in handcuffs before the sunset on January Sixth. And if he had been—if people had done the jobs they were supposed to have done, we wouldn’t be where we are now.” #The11thHour #vote #November5 #Mastodon #BlackMastodon #politics

Researchers say that a person’s intelligence plays a bigger role in their computer proficiency than previously believed, so much so that practice alone may not be enough… So if you’re ‘smart’ you have an advantage when it comes to using technology, confirming yet again that tech can be divisive, promoting a divide between higher- and lower-IQ individuals. That’s an ‘access’ issue IMO, that needs to be addressed. Considering a majority of the world’s population has an IQ under 100, this is an equity and equality matter. All individuals, regardless of intelligence quotients, should have access to the benefits offered by technology. #Technology #equity

"#Washington’s top #education leader says he won’t sign the U.S. Department of Education’s recent letter ordering K-12 #schools to certify they’re in compliance with federal civil rights laws and are halting any “illegal” #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion programs.

The letter, sent to school leaders across the nation late last week, threatens to withhold federal funding from schools for “any violation” of civil rights law — including #DEI programs that “advantage one race over another.” It also requires schools to sign the certification and return it to the department within 10 days."
