inclusivity

What happens when a former ballerina and a shady businessman try to revolutionize the world of dance? Welcome to the Fyre Fest of the ballet world. In this two-episode series, power couple Doug and Ashley Benefield use their money and influence to launch what appears to be a groundbreaking ballet company. One that champions diversity and inclusivity. The only problem is, none of that is true. Because as dancers put their careers on the line for this new company, it all begins to spin out of control — just as Doug and Ashley’s marriage falls apart.

In this 117th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.

This week, we discuss Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI), vaccine mandates, and how very non-inclusive many arts (and other organizations) are being while they claim to be embracing DEI. We discuss the entraining of humans via mask mandates, and through prescriptions on how and where to walk. We talk about the policies that have been put in place “to protect people from Covid,” and how ineffective, or anti-effective, many of them have been. We discuss the value of meandering, of serendipity, of not knowing what the path will be. We discuss the value of work, and of spending time generating solutions. We discuss whether, as some have claimed, the mRNA vaccines are “gene therapy,” and what would that mean, according to the FDA’s definitions of same. We share an excerpt from Orwell’s 1937 The Road to Wigan Pier, which bears striking similarities to today’s economy. We discuss the price of lumber.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the Left has been spent into spasms of outrage because of a Florida bill which would prohibit public school teachers from talking to elementary schoolers about sexual orientation and gender identity. What kind of creep could possibly oppose a law like that? Well, we’ll find out. Also, Canada descends into full on totalitarianism, even as we are told that Putin is the greatest threat to the west. And scholars have discovered that diversity training doesn’t actually achieve anything. What’s their answer? To do more diversity training, of course. In our daily cancellation, we’ll talk about the father of a 14 year old TikTok star who shot and killed her stalker. That’s the good news. The bad news is that this father allowed his 14 year old daughter to be a TikTok star in the first place.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, an MSNBC host claims that most American school kids are being taught that slavery is okay. This is the kind of hallucinatory world that critical race theory proponents live in. Also, Five Headlines, including a new report about the rash of suicide attempts by adolescent girls during lockdown. And we have video of a female student “coming out as a guy” to her classmates. Plus, a lobster diver claims he was swallowed by a whale. In our Daily Cancellation, we’ll talk about the NPR article blasting Tom Hanks for making too many movies about white people doing good things. That’s very problematic, as we’ll see. All of that and much more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
