“STUDENTS ARRESTED AS UNC BOG GUTS DEI”
Students are protesting in favor of DEI policies. This just seems so dumb.

Intersectional protest of UNC Board leads to arrest of two leftist activists
An intersectional left-leaning group called the Southern Student Action Coalition recently backed two activists who were arrested for attempting to enter a University of North Carolina System Board of Governors meeting to protest changing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies
A large crowd of people in Raleigh were present at the May 23 Board of Governors meeting to oppose a vote to remove the pre-existing DEI policy for the UNC system.
In addition to protesting the vote on DEI, left-wing activists were also reportedly protesting to demand divestments from Israel.
Roughly 35 protesters were reportedly chanting, clapping, and sitting in the lobby outside of the meeting as officers told them to disperse.
This led to the arrest of two individuals, which prompted the Southern Student Action Coalition to respond by stating in an Instagram post: “STUDENTS ARRESTED AS UNC BOG GUTS DEI‼ Two Black students were BRUTALLY arrested after being denied entry to a ‘public’ UNC Board of Governors meeting this morning. The UNC System is a threat to student safety.”
Additionally, the group released a statement that read: “Today, the predominantly white UNC Board of Governors, appointed by the overwhelmingly white North Carolina General Assembly repealed a policy meant to support marginalized students and arrested two Black students who were unlawfully denied entry to the public meeting where the vote was being conducted.”
“It is clear that they are actively trying to silence Black voices and overturn any advancements from the Civil Rights movement,” the group continued.

What the hell does “intersectional” mean? And why are you using their words? Please use commonly accepted words to tell stories, not concocted, meaningless drivel.
I can’t keep up with all the far-left jargon either, but I do believe “intersectional” means more than one of the favored and blessed characteristics. Black is good, but black and gay is even better (intersectional) and if you are black, gay, trans and pro-Hamas you have hit the jackpot.
Exactly so.
Plus, they all have common cause of a sort, because they’re all oppressed by “the man.”
Per 2020 census, via NPR, US population was measured as 57.8% “white” or “white and…”, and 7% “Asian” or “Asian and…”

A similarly constituted board would look pretty pale, I suspect.

I wonder. Just “activists”, or more riot-y, disruptive, trespassing, vandals who also identify as “activists.”
“Two (now former) students arrested for trespassing when they failed to leave UNC administrative offices when directed, and continued disrupting a UNC board meeting. The trespassers were physically removed, and charged with resisting arrest, when they, well, resisted arrest for trespassing. Vandalism has not been charged, as, while there was property damage from the “protests”, it is unclear which of the “protesters” did the physical damage to buildings and property.”
