Citizens For Justice

We are Citizens of Ontario deeply concerned about identity politics and its influence within public institutions and the illiberal policies that result.

@lisamurkowski @ENERGY @ChrisAWright_ Congratulations.

@Tara22220 @toutontoast @NotaliaMateo Think-There is vast underpopulated areas where families/small groups are living, scattered. Should we expect a teacher to arrive daily by plane/helicopter & teach the variety of kids for a day class? How many tutors R qualified 2 teach everything in tough physical conditions?

[Citizens For Justice @_Citz4Justice]

Good reflection here on @RealKeriSmith journey.

How we can learn to take back civility. @CivilityDinners a great idea. Food is great way to connect.

[Keri Smith 🌱Deprogrammed @RealKeriSmith]

It was an honor to get to speak with @peterboghossian about how to “Deprogram” people from Social Justice / Woke ideology. I’m still not sure how we scale it but I’m very glad Peter is one of the people thinking about it:

[Citizens For Justice @_Citz4Justice]

@peterboghossian @RealKeriSmith Have been trying to figure out what we can do as individual evangelists to combat illiberal indoctrinations. Your solution is seeing our humanity. You have come full circle; need to actively spread the Love of God going forward.

[Citizens For Justice @_Citz4Justice]

Similarly we need review @tdsb @TDSBDirector @PeelSchools hired DEI consultants, like one who was associated with humiliating Richard Bilkszto in DEI sessions.

The grift is likely in every level of education.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

In light of the affiliated nature of these transactions, in order for @MIT to have made these investments in Gorenberg’s wife’s non-profit, the MIT board or a subcommittee designated by the board would have had to approve this investment each year it was made.

But why would they have approved this investment for the last five years and I suspect this year as well?

The mission of MIT is to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century.

How is an investment in a non-profit that promotes DEI tools to corporations consistent with MIT’s stated mission?

Why would MIT fund an increasing amount of money each year to a board member’s wife’s non-profit , let alone the Chairman’s wife’s company, when the organization does not appear to have gained any traction, let alone any other donors over the last five years?

As someone who runs a foundation, I can tell you that it is a big red flag that this non-profit has not been able to raise any funds from other donors.

The above raises a number of important questions:

Did the board approve these investments for each of the last six years including 2023 for which the 990 has not yet been filed?

Was the board provided proper disclosure about the affiliated nature of these transactions?

Assuming the board followed a proper process and approved these annual grants, why did it do so?

It seems incredibly poor judgment to have made these grants to a one-person company run by the wife of the chairman when the grants are not consistent with MIT’s mission.

The size of the investments are de minimis relative to the MIT endowment. Why would the Chairman waste the board’s time and risk his and MIT’s reputation to make these investments in the first place?

According to his bio published on MIT’s website, Chairman Gorenberg is a highly successful venture capitalist.

Why did he need to ask MIT to fund his wife’s non-profit?

Why didn’t he just write the check himself?

One can reasonably assume that the fact that the non-profit had no outside investors other than MIT was due to the fact that it was unable to raise money from other foundations or philanthropists.

Why is https://t.co/rcEh7uG6RK a non-profit in the first place?

It is ostensibly selling or trying to sell products or services to corporations. There are plenty of other DEI consultants that are for-profits that compete with https://t.co/rcEh7uG6RK.

It appears based on Parity’s lack of revenues for the last five years that it has been unable to sell its products or services. In other words, https://t.co/rcEh7uG6RK is either making no sales or it is giving away its products and services for free.

This of course calls into question the quality of the products and services it offers.

In short, this does not look like a legitimate non-profit. Rather it looks like a sinecure for the wife of the Chairman of MIT.

To survive, https://t.co/rcEh7uG6RK relies on funds from MIT’s endowment that were in turn raised from MIT alumni and other donors who received a tax deduction for the contributions they made, which were in turn subsidized by other unaffiliated taxpayers.

To make matters worse, the non-profit is a DEI organization, an ideology that has contributed to the outbreak of antisemitism on MIT’s campus.

The @PershingSqFdn made a $750,000 grant to an MIT electrical engineer/neuroscientist this year. That’s about the same amount of money that went out the door last year to https://t.co/rcEh7uG6RK. As a donor, this does not make me feel good.

All of the above begs the following additional questions:

How much did MIT give https://t.co/rcEh7uG6RK in 2023?

Does MIT make investments in any other non-profits affiliated with its directors or their families? If so, which ones and why?

Why would MIT risk its reputation to be the only funder of a non-profit run by the wife of its Chairman?

What is going on at MIT?

@BillAckman @FareedZakaria Teach me 2 think,not what 2 think.
@YorkUniversity @McMasterU @TorontoMet @UofT @WesternU @mcgillu @Concordia can’t tolerate free #cdn speech
“Higher” education =indoctrination
Where are different views? Even in high school, middle & elementary school brainwashing occurring.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

.@FareedZakaria is spot on. A must watch.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

While I understand the desire to have the presidents of @harvard, @MIT, and @Penn resign/be fired as a result of their outrage testimony, in a sense this is a small and insignificant outcome. The parasitic ideas that led to their grotesque testimony have been festering in academia for decades, and have fully choked the larger culture. Getting rid of one administrator will simply result in another equally cowardly and lobotomized leader taking over. There is a long conveyor belt of such academic administrators. The battle can only be won on the ideological and epistemological battlefields. In the same way that Lysenkoism or blood letting are rejected ideas, the same must occur with all of the idea pathogens that define Woke Progressive Ideology.

@gmiller If she had only 11 published, she had additional virtues that her hiring committee was likely looking for.

[Geoffrey Miller @gmiller]

A little rant about American universities, in the light on the recent Congressional testimony debacle:

Today I learned that Harvard President Claudine Gay seems to have published only 11 peer-reviewed journal papers in her entire academic career.

'So what?', you might ask.

Well, that's about the number you'd normally need to get hired as a first-year tenure-track assistant professor at a decent state university.

It's the number I published in the 12 months before I got tenure.

It's about the number that my more workaholic colleagues publish every year, decade after decade, throughout their careers.

And it's less than 1% as many papers as get published by outstanding researchers like behavior geneticist Nick Martin (with over 1,500 journal papers).

The situation at Harvard is not unusual. The leaders of academia are not typically leading academics, in the sense of highly productive researchers or widely respected teachers.

One might say they are career bureaucrats - but that would misunderstand their crucial ideological function.

The American people need to understand that in modern universities, both public and private, administrators function more like party political officers in communist Russian or Chinese universities. They are selected, throughour their careers, largely for their political commitments, and their willingness to enforce them. Like Cold War commissars, their allegiance is to the party, not to academia where they happen to work.

I mean 'party' quite literally: the Democratic party. Most American university administrators are loyal Democrats, and can't really imagine why anyone wouldn't be. Very few are Republicans or Libertarians.

And an increasing proportion of them are fully woke identitarian Leftists: they often launched their careers with a short series of papers on woke topics, using woke ideological frameworks, published in woke journals - before turning to the administrative track that offers much more political power to propagandize, indoctrinate, and control.

'So what?', you're might ask.

I've seen many calls for university administrators to enforce the rules of classical liberalism and free speech more fairly. This is like asking a Soviet-era commissar to abandon their Communist party allegiance, and to develop an entirely new identity and ethos grounded in an ideology that they have spent their entire career fighting.

It will not happen. Political animals do not change their spots.

University presidents who have prioritized amassing ideological power over producing academic research will not suddenly rediscover the merits of open inquiry.

They need to be fired, and replaced with academic leaders who are actually leading academics - rather than party political officers.

RT @bariweiss: Free speech should be the standard at MIT, Harvard and Princeton.

Instead, we've got double standards.

Using the wrong pr…

Progressives once asserted that speech was violence. Now some claim that violence should be protected as speech. Latest in @theatlantic https://t.co/b4FxpD0i9t

Anyone else concerned about the future of the legal system in Canada?

[Brian Lilley @brianlilley]

So far, 74 students of the TMU law school have signed this heinous letter. Most of them have signed their real names. For the major law firms across Canada, you should all save a copy of this and check anyone applying against it.

[Reality Enthusiast @RealityEnthusi2]

I've been accused of implying that people who believe in gender ideology are of lower intelligence, lack critical thinking skills, etc. Allow me to clarify.

I'm not implying these things — I'm stating them, unequivocally.

Only a deeply impressionable mind could accept and perpetuate this glaringly obvious con.

You've abandoned your mental faculties in favor of a mass delusion, and are now complicit in the sterilization and mutilation children, the abolition of sex classes and of sex-based rights, and the destruction of humanity as we know it.

Congratufuckinglations, idiots.

[Citizens For Justice @_Citz4Justice]

Is anyone really surprised that the judge in this case is a supporter of a woke Statement of Principles for all lawyers in the @LawSocietyLSO? Free speech is at risk, unbiased treatment for citizens of Ontario under the law is at risk.

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

The Trudeau-appointed judge who ruled against my appeal re The Ontario College of Psychologists is

an advocate of progressive/DEI policies and tried to impose them on the Law Society of Ontario

The courage to speak up about what you believe is contagious.

[Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy]

When you’re the only person in the room who believes what you do, speak up - at work, at school, wherever you might be. Fear is contagious, but courage can be contagious too.

[Citizens For Justice @_Citz4Justice]

@CTVToronto Last I heard from a white @PeelSchools teacher, she was told to shut up and learn how racist she was. She looked shocked when I asked her for specific examples where she has witnessed racism. Crickets …

Let’s see the teacher indoctrination at @tdsb largest board in Canada

[Citizens For Justice @_Citz4Justice]

@WokeTemple She has deep guilt. Needs to get whole society to change to atone for her sins. She needs help but doesn’t realize it. She deflects anger at her self worth to others.

Interested in ESGs and how they affect large companies?

[Marissa Streit @marissastreit]

Have you been duped by the ESG scam?
Check out this Real Talk with @AndyPuzder who took Carl's Jr. and Hardee's from the brink of bankruptcy to a billion dollar company.
He warns that ESG is one of the most dangerous things going on in America right now: https://t.co/H8ScPWwG6M @prageru

[Citizens For Justice @_Citz4Justice]

DEI is a huge money making industry with no standards or accountability. And, they have access to kids in schools when they are brought in by woke teachers. Parents need to continue asking questions about what is going on in classrooms.

[Chanel Pfahl @ChanLPfa]

Here are federal gov contracts with @KojoInstitute totalling $96,196.90 since Oct 2021.

This does not include their contracts with @hmcanada, @cdnwomenfdn, @CMA_Docs, @ETFOeducators, @camhfoundation, @TorontoStar, @McMasterU, @YorkUniversity, @UofT, @mylakehead, @CBC, @CityNewsTO, various school boards (@tdsb, @YRDSB, @TVDSB, @PeelSchools, @HCDSB, @YCDSB, etc.), and the list goes on and on.

“Oppressed” my ass. You are race grifters and bullies, and I hope you never earn another dollar pushing your divisive ideology on decent Canadians.
