Some of my thoughts on diversity in STEM.

HOGWASH STUDY: There have been 10s of thousands of successful AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN serving in the ARMED FORCES since the Vietnam War and have done GREAT! BESIDES, it is incompetent workers from every demographic that have problems in work centers. Plus, CONTEMPTIBLE PEOPLE are found everywhere as if GOD made them by some purposeful design. We even have an abundance of BLACK FEMALE CEOs. Thus, this study or the media communication is STRAIGHT HOGWASH. BLACK WOMEN are Sergeant Majors, Colonels, and Generals and each category is only made of up of less than 1% of the military establishment! PS: No human worker has a completely heavenly experience working with other humans, and we must all negotiate unprofessional fields of conflict. This is LIFE ITSELF since there are so many contemptible humans ranging from the bottom to the top of human society. Thus, STOP with these CRYBABY media stories! TALK ABOUT EACH OF THE SUCCESS STORIES like BLACK FEMALES and women in general graduating ARMY RANGER SCHOOL, etc! NOTE: Typically the best performers will prevail regardless of demographics!

Why A ‘Lay Low' DEI Strategy Is Especially Bad Right Now Politicized attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion have frightened many educational, military, and corporate leaders. Executives don't want their organizations to be targets of unnecessarily polarizing, headline-grabbing schemes to mislead the public about DEI. Some are therefore running scared, renaming, and not calling attention to their DEI initiatives. This strategy isn't what our democracy needs right now.

Many people want to shun or oppose diversity and inclusion because they perceive it is a mechanism for giving the less qualified a pass. Here is an article that talks about how diversity and inclusion can move beyond simply counting how many of this or that sort of person we have in an organization. I think examples like the ones illuminated in the article show that diversity and inclusion with an emphasis on excellence and high competence are possible.

In honor of Women’s History Month, we’ve asked a few of our female leaders to share the advice they have found most useful in their careers. #IWD2024

“From the Battlefield to Business: Breaking Barriers, Building Futures Women Veterans Lead the Way” In celebration of Women's Equality Day, we honor the trailblazers who fought for the rights we enjoy today and reflect on our progress. A notable institution that has made strides in promoting women's equality is the U.S. military. It has not only opened all combat roles to women but also appointed them to leadership positions, setting a powerful example for other institutions. According to the SBA, roughly 8.5 percent of veterans in the United States are women. At the same time, women own 15.2 percent of all veteran-owned businesses. In other words, women veterans start businesses at a rate that is nearly double their representation in the general veteran population. “Rise and Lead: To all the Women Veterans out there, your resilience, leadership, and determination make you exceptional candidates for entrepreneurship. Let’s take the leap and transform the world of business! To our community, let’s celebrate and elevate our “Nation’s top secret weapon - Women Veterans.” Together, we can make a difference! #CelebrateAndElevate #WomenVeteransRise #womenveterans #womenveteranownedbusinesses #EmpowerAll #govconequity #womensequalityday2023 #vetbizlady #thegifactor #WomenVeteransRise

Today, we pay tribute to remarkable women who defied the odds, shattered glass ceilings, and blazed trails in the realm of Supply Chain. Among these trailblazers stands Bessie Coleman, a fearless pioneer who soared to new heights—quite literally! Bessie's audacity knew no bounds. Inspired by French female pilots during World War I, she dared to pursue her passion for flight, despite facing discrimination and barriers based on her ethnicity and gender. Her journey took her to France, where she overcame language barriers and earned her pilot's license, becoming the first Black woman to do so. Returning to the U.S., Bessie fearlessly took to the skies, captivating audiences with her daring aerial stunts and refusing to conform to societal expectations. She challenged racial segregation, advocated for equality, and inspired countless individuals to pursue their dreams. Bessie Coleman's audacious spirit lives on as a beacon of hope and inspiration. Her legacy reminds us that with courage, determination, and audacity, we can break barriers, defy expectations, and make history in Supply Chain—and beyond. Join us in celebrating Bessie Coleman and other remarkable women who had the audacity to challenge the status quo and pave the way for future generations. Let their stories inspire us to continue pushing boundaries, advocating for change, and creating a more inclusive and equitable future for all. #BlackHistoryMonth #Trailblazers #Audacity #SupplyChainExcellence #SistaSupplyChainNetwork #BlackWomenInSupplyChainHistory

A great question and a decent article. Maybe because its not...never has been... never will be? Diversity (and Inclusivity) in our Military -- simply for diversity's (and inclusivity's) sake -- is worthless. Absolutely WORTHLESS. The true strength of the US Military comes from the technical / tactical / operational skills, the common understanding and implementation of purpose, tasks, and procedures and the selflessness, dedication, pride-of-belonging and professionalism of its individual members. Ultimately, these allow each and every service member to realize that they are part of organizations so much more, so much greater, than the mere sum of their various parts. This epiphany sets the conditions that allows one to become a member in good-standing of the Profession of Arms -- aka as "STRENGTH" to the uninitiated, naive and clueless. Yes Virginia, just those things - it really is that simple. Those are the things that create, foster, nurture, refine, espouse, and expand the true individual and collective strength of the US Military on an enduring basis. Those things. Nothing else. Assuming -- like the DEI puppeteers and other agenda-driven, identity politics lemmings have done -- that the strength somehow automatically stems simply from the color of folk's skin, their religion, their gender or their "gender fluidity," the composition / disposition of their genitals or their "preferred" pronouns is stupid, disingenuous, myopic and makes those that subscribe to that thought process part of the overarching problem...
