This professor is correct but he made the mistake of telling the truth. In the religion of porgressivism which rules academia, you’re not allowed to do that.

Professor faces disciplinary proceedings for calling diversity training a waste of time
Paul Griffiths spoke a little too freely when he responded to a professor’s faculty listserv invitation for “racial equity” training at Duke Divinity School (DDS) three months ago.
The professor of Catholic theology told his colleagues not to “lay waste your time” with the training, which he predicted would be full of “bromides, clichés, and amen-corner rah-rahs”:
When (if) it gets beyond that, its illiberal roots and totalitarian tendencies will show. Events of this sort are definitively anti-intellectual. (Re)trainings of intellectuals by bureaucrats and apparatchiks have a long and ignoble history; I hope you’ll keep that history in mind as you think about this instance.
Now he’s the subject of two disciplinary proceedings – one for “unprofessional conduct” and one for “harassment” – and he is reportedly resigning after the 2017-2018 academic year.
Rod Dreher at The American Conservative obtained documents related to the dispute over the weekend, reprinting a recent open letter from Griffiths to the DDS faculty and the February email chain that started his problems.

He should have read “SJWs Always Lie” – or at the very least the SJW attack survival guide.
Never forget that Duke was “ground zero” for the SJWs pursuit of a rape HOAX.
Since when is stating your opinion “unprofessional conduct”? Geez.
The worst thing about “die-versity training” is that it seeks to murder “diversity of thought” and “independence” from the Orwellian State………..
