" Alabama lawmakers passed a bill Tuesday that, if signed into law, would prohibit public schools and universities from maintaining or funding diversity, equity, and inclusion programs."

What does structural racism look like?
The Alabama Legislature is banning Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity in their public schools and universities. Looking at the definitions of the three in the Oxford English Dictionary we find the following:
“Diversity” is “the practice or quality of including or involving people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, sexual orientations, etc.”
Inclusion is a term used to describe and promote policies, strategies, and practices which aim to enable all learners to participate fully in education.
Equity is defined as being fair and impartial. Equity in education refers therefore to the systems that support or allow for the scaffolding of learning to take place.
Perhaps next, Alabama will ban public education itself?
Let me state it plainly if you voted for this bill, you are a racist.
Just calling it as I see it,
