Proof of their discrimination by their own standard

Intersectionality

One of the employee training classes offered by ASU purports to teach us employees about our bias. In one class, they teach about “intersectionality.” In other posts, I have described this philosophy. Here, I want to point out that while they tell us to check our bias, they do not see their own. Colleagues can freely insult Christians. Faculty time can be spent on partisan politics. Entire degree programs can be shaped around a decolonizing philosophy directly traceable to Marxist theory. How can they miss this obvious contradiction?

The answer is found in the phrase “blind guides.” They cannot see their own presuppositions but instead believe they are simply pursuing justice. The painful truth is that they have no new solutions. Theirs is a thinly disguised attack on Christianity and its teaching about God, sin, redemption, Christ, and the moral law.

But here is where their own standard comes back to judge them. Their way of identifying discrimination is by looking at outcomes regardless of other factors. They divide humans into groups and then look to see if each group is having the same economic outcomes. Now apply this to professing Evangelical Christians at ASU. The number of professors at ASU who identify as Evangelical Christians is far below the number of Evangelicals in our community. ASU does not reflect its community. By their standard, this means that ASU is discriminating against Evangelical Christians.

In the image below, you see the claim that everyone has bias. That means that the secular professors pushing this agenda have a bias. Intersectionality is itself a bias. Academic freedom and freedom of conscience require us to question the assumptions of this harmful philosophy. It divides people into groups and teaches them to hate each other. It claims to point out injustices, but it stops but economics and cannot solve our deepest spiritual problems.

Do not be led astray but this philosophy. It appears as a wolf in sheep's clothing. Promising help, it only brings hatred and despair. Reconciliation with God, and between humans, is possible only through Christ.
