ASU and DEI Training: What You Need to Know

Universities Like ASU and DEI Training: What You Need to Know

Universities like Arizona State University (ASU) have long mandated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training for their students and employees. At ASU, this program is called “Inclusive Communities,” and its modules on DEI(B) go so far as to teach that white people are unconscious racists and that the United States was founded on white supremacy.

If these beliefs don’t shock you, they should. Such statements represent blatant racial discrimination, targeting individuals based solely on their skin color. It’s worth asking: Should you continue attending or supporting a university that promotes such ideas?

Here’s what’s even more revealing: If you were to challenge an ASU professor on this, the vast majority—particularly those in the humanities—would not deny it. Instead, they would affirm it, saying, “Yes, of course. White people are like that, and the United States is a white supremacist country.” For them, these views are not opinions but incontrovertible facts.

Now ask yourself: If you knew ahead of time that a professor held racist beliefs, would you take their class? Would you enroll your child in their class?

Thankfully, there’s a new development: the recent Executive Order addresses these issues directly. Here’s what it says:

Illegal DEI and DEIA policies not only violate the text and spirit of our longstanding Federal civil-rights laws, they also undermine our national unity, as they deny, discredit, and undermine the traditional American values of hard work, excellence, and individual achievement in favor of an unlawful, corrosive, and pernicious identity-based spoils system.

and also:

These illegal DEI and DEIA policies also threaten the safety of American men, women, and children across the Nation by diminishing the importance of individual merit, aptitude, hard work, and determination when selecting people for jobs and services in key sectors of American society, including all levels of government, and the medical, aviation, and law-enforcement communities. Yet in case after tragic case, the American people have witnessed first-hand the disastrous consequences of illegal, pernicious discrimination that has prioritized how people were born instead of what they were capable of doing.

Yet here are screenshots of ASU’s required training:

Parents, students, legislators, donors, pastors—what will you do? Will you stand by while universities like ASU promote divisive ideologies that undermine the dignity and unity of our communities? Will you continue to support institutions that teach racial discrimination under the guise of inclusion? Or will you take a stand for truth and justice?

The time to act is now. Parents, demand transparency and accountability from the schools your children attend. Students, speak up against indoctrination and insist on an education that fosters genuine understanding and respect. Legislators, ensure that public funds are not used to perpetuate racial animosity. Donors, reconsider where your generosity flows and invest in institutions committed to fairness and excellence. Pastors, guide your congregations with clarity and conviction, calling them to stand firm in biblical truth.

We have the power to challenge and change these injustices. Let us be united in seeking reform, holding universities accountable, and ensuring that education is a place of truth, not propaganda. What you choose to do today will shape the future for generations to come.
