Hosted by UVa’s Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion:
Here are some other suggestions for the Division of DEI:
Tim Scott, U.S. Senator from South Carolina
Candace Owens, author and activist
Ben Carson, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
John, McWhorter, author
Condoleeza Rice, former Secretary of State
Deroy Murdock, columnist
Larry Elder, talk radio host
Wilfred Reilly, author
Allen West, chairman of the Republican Party of Texas
and the legendary Thomas Sowell, one of the greatest intellectuals in modern America
Haha! There will be blizzards in Hades before UVa invites any of these leading lights. Your donations to the Jefferson Council will help us bring conservative speakers — such as conservative African-Americans such as Mia Love, who spoke last year — to Mr. Jefferson’s University.
Perhaps Lt. Col. Nathan Jessup might be available: “You can’t handle the truth. You can’t handle the sad but historic reality.” -Aaron Sorkin in “A Few Good Men”
Great list, and God bless Winsome Sears.
Don’t forget about Glenn Loury, PhD, Douglas Murray, and Heather Mac Donald
My list was exclusively conservative African-American thinkers, politicians and activists. But Douglas Murray and Heather MacDonald would be awesome, too!
Bless your hearts, a student organization can invite anyone anytime if you raise the money and do the work.
And UVA, sitting on top of $14 billion, pays for this, but why should a “student organization” have to pay money for an alternate view? Shouldn’t UVA fund a view in opposition to West if it funds West? Isn’t a university supposed to promote thought? To expose viewpoints? Bless your heart right back!
You forgot Glen Lowery and Coleman Hughes!
And I forgot Magatte Wade! We saw her at Freedom Fest and she is terrific.
