Accuracy in Media recently stumbled upon shelves upon shelves of woke ideological literature in a local Texas government’s “Office of Equity and Inclusion.”
AIM’s investigator traveled to Austin, Texas to see whether Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is being prioritized by the city on the taxpayer’s dime.
“Well, we have renamed it to the ‘Office of Equity and Inclusion,’’’ a staffer for the city government told AIM’s undercover investigator on hidden camera.
“Hopefully, we will continue our work,” she said. “It’s so important.”
The employee further asked AIM’s investigator whether she had attended one of their “undoing racism trainings.”
The local government in Austin seems poised to continue its DEI efforts despite the state and federal governments’ opposition, which is on par with many of the offices that AIM visits.
But what AIM’s investigator doesn’t see every day is a trove of racial, gender, anti-America, and anti-capitalism books being kept in a DEI library of sorts.
Dozens of books lined the office’s shelves, with titles such as “Left of Karl Marx: The Political Life of Black Communist Claudia Jones,” “The White Allies Handbook,” “Tactics for Racial Justice,” “State of White Supremacy,” “Gender Magic,” “Colonial Racial Capitalism,” and many, many more.
The books were divided by section, with labels such as “Abolition & Public Safety,” “Race & Racism,” “Alphabet Mafia LGBTQIA+,” and “Capitalism, Colonialism & U.S. Empire.”
The sheer volume of DEI-centered literature inside the relatively small Austin city government rivals that of a modern-day university.
Texas taxpayers shouldn’t be funding radical, woke DEI in its cities. Despite the state’s crackdown on this programming in schools, city governments like Austin’s are hoping to fly under the radar. And if their equity library is any indication, they aren’t quite ready to let go of their agenda.
Visit SaveTexasCities.com to send one message that goes to all the relevant officials. Tell them Texas taxpayers shouldn’t be funding city governments’ woke DEI plans.
