The Sandy Post ran a remarkable story yesterday with the totally-understated headline, “
Clackamas County employee titles will no longer say 'equity' or 'inclusion’.” Actually, it wasn’t just the titles. Clackamas County just altogether
eliminated its Equity and Inclusion office.
Clackamas County Administrator Gary Schmidt is busily ‘restructuring’ the county’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion departments, most recently by setting the date for the complete elimination of the Equity and Inclusion Office and the reassignment of its staff. Schmidt explained the restructuring is
for compliance with state and federal laws prohibiting discrimination, an explanation that badly triggered certain groups.
Specifically, Clackamas’s white liberal women were the group most damaged and most upset by the changes. "I feel anger and a sense of loss with the announcement, even if it has been expected news for some time," County Clerk Catherine McMullen wrote, responding to County Administrator Schmidt's January 11th announcement. Behold angry, “lost” County Clerk Catherine McMullen, who was among the hardest-hit by DEI’s removal:
Milwaukie, Oregon City Councilor Rebecca Stavenjord organized a campaign to browbeat, I mean
collect 800 signatures on a petition to stop the DEI department’s demolition. "As a concerned resident and advocate for justice, I believe this decision reflects a grave error in leadership," councilor Stavenjord wrote yesterday. She is hurt and lost too. Here’s City Councilor Rebecca:
Clackamas County’s DEI deletion will save local taxpayers over a
million dollars annually. The most remarkable part of the story was how surprising the spot is for a DEI revolution. Clackamas literally sits right outside Portland, Oregon, the Heart of DEI Darkness:
Personally, I find this news greatly encouraging. For one thing, it continues to show the shattering DEI matrix, despite vested liberals’ attempts to somehow glue it back together in real time.
And maybe, if they can finally surround Portland, they can just snuff it out and start over with a new city.
