Colin Wright is a biologist who wanted to teach at a university.  He explains his interview process in this video. The universities only cared about two types of diversity:  1. Physical appearance and 2. Sex and gender identity.  They did not care about viewpoint diversity.  They did not care about equality, but only about equity (guarantying equal outcomes).  Wright believes in hiring the best person for the job, not what they looked like. He believes that it is dehumanizing to deal with others based on their physical appearance or their sexual or gender ideology because this insists that we should reduce human complexity to a single trait. The DEI statements he encountered required him to give assent to segregation based on physical traits.

Wright gave up on his dream of teaching at a university. He hears from many teachers who are self-censoring or lying in order to keep their jobs.  His conclusion: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion orthodoxy prevents diversity of thought.
