There are even "Social Responsibility Organizations" for every flavor of people....Women in STEM, Blacks for Diversity, Latin Something, Asian Something, and a LGBTQ Group. The CEO added one for Veterans (no veterans joined) and one for Physical Disability (nobody joined).

The only people in these groups are young Americans (no foreign guys and 2/3 of the company is foreign or foreign based). Talking 1000's of Engineers and Finance folks.

This is pretty much required for big organizations, especially a college because the people that demand-it most are the young and typically women. The Women, Black, Latin, Asian, and LGBTQ groups all seem to have the same members (same 4 people, all Ladies). When they say STEM it's usually IT people, no Mechanical, Electrical, or Chemical Engineers. One is a single American IT girl that works with 20 or so Indian people.

But even the Geology Department at Williams College had to issue a Woke statement. These are Hippies that love Hiking, Rocks, and Hound Dogs at Williams. They issued a statement that the "Biggest problem in Geology is the lack of Diversity". The biggest problem is not Earthquakes, how use Weathering Rocks for Carbon Capture, or cleaner mining of Rare Earth Metals. They did not actually write the statement, they just sponsored one written by an Indian-Born lady that is not a Geologist, Scientist, Engineer, or a Mining professional of any kind.
That's about the stupidest request I've ever heard.

Regarding the other things you mentioned, and along the same lines - the NASA Administrator under Biden (ex-AF General Charles Bolden) said the "Agency's goal is Muslim outreach". He failed to mention space. The world has gone nuts.
