Zac Kriegman spredte sandheden om BLM baseret på fakta på sin arbejdsplads: Reuters

Resultat? Ja han blev selvfølgelig smidt ud.

Zac Kriegman had the ideal résumé for the professional-managerial class: a bachelors in economics from Michigan and a J.D. from Harvard and years of experience with high-tech startups, a white-shoe law firm, and an econometrics research consultancy. He then spent six years at Thomson Reuters Corporation, the international media conglomerate, spearheading the company’s efforts on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced software engineering. By the beginning of 2020, Kriegman had assumed the title of Director of Data Science and was leading a team tasked with implementing deep learning throughout the organization.

But within a few months, this would all collapse. A chain of events—beginning with the death of George Floyd and culminating with a statistical analysis of Black Lives Matter’s claims—would turn the 44-year-old data scientist’s life upside-down. By June 2021, Kriegman would be locked out of Reuters’s servers, denounced by his colleagues, and fired by email. Kriegman had committed an unpardonable offense: he directly criticized the Black Lives Matter movement in the company’s internal communications forum, debunked Reuters’s own biased reporting, and violated a corporate taboo. Driven by what he called a “moral obligation” to speak out, Kriegman refused to celebrate unquestioningly the BLM narrative and his company’s “diversity and inclusion” programming; to the contrary, he argued that Reuters was exhibiting significant left-wing bias in the newsroom and that the ongoing BLM protests, riots, and calls to “defund the police” would wreak havoc on minority communities. Week after week, Kriegman felt increasingly disillusioned by the Thomson Reuters line. Finally, on the first Tuesday in May 2021, he posted a long, data-intensive critique of BLM’s and his company’s hypocrisy. He was sent to Human Resources and Diversity & Inclusion for the chance to reform his thoughts.

He refused—so they fired him.

  1. Her i Danmark kræver BLM, LGBTQ, AFA og METOO også at få indflydelse på hvad børnene skal lære i folkeskolen. Det er de ikke alene om. Også Enhedslisten, de RadiGALE, Kvinfo, co2-fanatikerne, Refugees are welcome, Bedstemødre for asyl, “Vi mangler arbejdskraft fra Afrika”, “Feltmadrassernes kampfront” og “feminister for folkeudskiftning” vil være med til at bestemme undervisningen.

    Det er derfor der ikke længere er tid til at undervise i dansk, regning, skrivning og historie. Fra 0. klasse og opefter er det faget “hjernevask” der prioriteres højest.
