The director of a California college\u2019s Office of Equity, Social Justice and Multicultural Education says she was terminated after she began questioning the school’s antiracism “orthodoxy,” declined to join a “socialist network” and refused to use the term “Latinx.”<\/p>\n

De Anza College, a community college in Cupertino, California<\/a>, allegedly retaliated against Tabia Lee after she objected to multiple campus inclusion policies.<\/p>\n

She told Inside Higher Ed that she lost her job after she objected to the college\u2019s land acknowledgments for an Indigenous tribe, attempted to bring a “Jewish inclusion” event to campus, declined to join a “socialist network,” refused to use the terms “Latinx” and “Filipinx” and questioned why the word “black” was capitalized but not “white.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I no longer participate in gender pronouns because I find that the same toxic ideologies around race ideologies are now being advanced under gender ideologies; I also find that the constant obsession with pronouns and declaration of pronouns causes deep discomfort for individuals who identify as gender-fluid or who struggle with gender dysphoria,” she said.<\/p>\n

Lee also allegedly disrespected a founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

A colleague had accused Lee, who is Black, of “white speaking,” “whitesplaining” and supporting White supremacy.<\/p>\n

And while Lee has not yet filed a lawsuit against the college, she says she is not ruling out eventually doing so.<\/p>\n

The college, however, has pushed back on the allegations, with district chancellor Judy Miner writing in a letter obtained by Inside Higher Ed that Lee’s termination was based, in part, on her “[p]ersistent inability to demonstrate cooperation in working with colleagues and staff” and an “unwillingness to accept constructive criticism.”<\/p>\n

The school’s Tenure Review Committee voted Tuesday not to re-employ Lee as a contract employee for the next academic year. She has been employed by De Anza College<\/a> since 2021.<\/p>\n

“In all of the teacher education things I\u2019ve done and been exposed to in more recent years, there are lots of ideologies being pushed\u2014lots of time a single one, but no one names what it is,” Lee said. “I was told that [I] was supposed to only advance what at that time I was calling a third-wave antiracism ideology.”<\/p>\n

Lee says she received backlash shortly after starting her job in August 2021. She said her Tenure Review Committee was reconstituted when she filed a grievance after being informed she would not be recommended for continuance prior to the committee handing down the decision.<\/p>\n

“While the main or initial harasser resigned at the end of the 21-22 school year, the damage was already done,” Lee said. “One of his mentors\u2014the same individual who invited me to the socialist network and accuse(d) me of disrespecting [Black Lives Matter co-founder] Alicia Garza\u2014was seated on my Tenure Review Committee until she was removed as part of a grievance settlement. But her longtime friend, the dean of equity and engagement remained seated on the phase II committee and the games continued.”<\/p>\n

Lee’s termination came shortly after she published an essay on Feb. 28 in the “Journal of Free Black Thought on Substack.<\/p>\n

“Under the banner of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts, in many learning environments a neo-reconstructionist race(ist) orthodoxy has emerged that actively works to suppress and exclude alternative frameworks, methods, ways and means for dealing with American education’s race(ist) problem,” Lee wrote.<\/p>\n

“Presently in many American schools, third-wave neo-reconstructionist ideologies of racial equity that are rooted in faulty remakings and re-interpretations of race and racism are fomenting perpetual race(ist) struggle and are dangerously directing the scope of mainstream educational research, discourse, and practice,” she continued.<\/p>\n

De Anza College did not immediately respond to a request for comment from FOX News Digital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
