Penn-Harris-Madison has eliminated its controversial and ineffective DEI officer position.
It has been confirmed PHM schoolâs first ever diversity, equity and inclusion officer, Derrick White, will be moved to Pennway Alternative Day School, the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation’s alternative high school.
Strengthen Our Schools-PHM District, an active parental group, has had the elimination of the DEI position as a top priority since it was created in 2020. Their efforts have proven successful.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is a doctrine that promotes racial division and stokes animosity among racially diverse groups using false premises such as current American society being institutionally structured to benefit Whites at the expense of non-Whites.
Update:
Eliminating the DEI position appears to be a combination of fulfilling a need at Pennway and not filling the DEI officer position after it was vacated. Sorry if it looked like Strengthen Our Schools facilitated the end of the DEI position with a recent action. I was in the parking lot buying a chainsaw when I broke the news. Cut me some slack.
As of the evening of April 15, sources inside PHM confirm no plans to fill the DEI post.
Rumors about possibly merging it with another position are out there but my sources say that would be a deviation from the current plan with one jokingly positing if the rumors are true, it’s because I wrote about it.

Update 2:
Some have taken issue with my using the word ‘eliminated’ since the PHM board hasn’t voted yet. That’s fair. Technically, the position hasn’t been ‘eliminated’ yet. PHM sources say there are no plans to replace Derrick White in that position, leaving it vacant, not eliminated. I regret the confusion.
Former Vice President Joe Biden sat down with an interview for The Daily Show with Kal Penn. During that interview, he claimed he saw two men openly kiss each other when he was in high school as his dad dropped him off somewhere. I’m not going to challenge the notion of two openly gay guys kissing each other in public in the 1950s because it isn’t really relevant.
Penn asked Biden about his evolution on marriage equality (which used to mean something completely different).
âI can remember exactly when my epiphany was.
âI hadnât thought much about it, to tell you the truth. And I was a senior in high school. And my dad was dropping me off and I was about to get out of the car and I looked to my right and two well-dressed men in suits kissed each other. I mean, they gave each other a kiss. And then one went, looked like he was headed to the Dupont building, one looked like he was going to the Hercules Corporation building.â

Biden then offers up his dad’s take on the kiss:
âAnd Iâll never forget, I turned and looked at my dad, he said, Joe, it is simple. They love each other. It is simple. Iâm not joking. It is simple. They love each other. And it has never been â it has never been â it is just that simple. It doesnât matter whether it is same-sex or heterosexual couple. You should be able to be married.â
This isn’t the first time Biden has told this story. It has always been received with skepticism in years past.
Biden openly opposed gay marriage his entire Senate career. He even quipped that gay people working in government were a security risk.
Here’s him opposing it in 2006 on Meet The Press.
Joe Biden opposed gay marriage in 2006.
The first time we have Biden coming out and even tacitly supporting gay marriage was on Meet The Press in 2012. David Gregory even opened up the line of questioning by saying:
“He’s (Obama) opposed to it. You’re opposed to it. Have your views evolved?”

The idea that Biden supported gay marriage his whole life and political career is a lie. If he had those views, he lied about them and betrayed gay people his entire Senate career. It’s far more likely that Biden is doing what Biden always does … lies for political pandering and expediency.
If Kal Penn had any integrity, he’d call him out on his lie. He didn’t.
