DEI Trainer Gets Oregon Employee Placed On Leave For Hiring 'Candidates Most Qualified' - Not Minority Status

The cult of intersectionality is claiming more of its victims in the workplace.

Oregon recently placed their deputy state forester, Mike Shaw on leave after their purple-haired DEI trainer filed a complaint that he sought “candidates most qualified for the job,” rather than race and gender, reports the Daily Mail.

Who would’ve thought in 2024 you'd be punished for discrimination for refusing to discriminate against applicants?

But Megan Donecker, the forestry department’s former Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Chief says hiring should be done through an “intersectional lens,” which means their process should be a victimhood contest determining whose ancestors were more oppressed.

Donecker also whined that six queer staffers didn't “feel safe or comfortable” at work because they could not have a “conversation around pronouns.” 

In other words, discrimination also means refusing to comply with a re- write of truth.

The department didn’t seem to have time for her ideology, which is apparently why they’re in hot water. 

The DEI radical, a white woman who describes herself as an “accomplice to marginalized communities,” wrote in her complaint that she was “cut” from leadership meetings for her efforts to re-educate them. 

She lambasted Shaw for comparing identity-based hiring to a “speeding car on an icy road.”

“We don't go 60 (mph) out of the gate, or we're gonna crash the car,” Shaw allegedly told Donecker during a one-on-one meeting.

Feeling defeated, Donecker has since quit her job. She is now working with Oregon's children, as the "Equity Trainer" and "Education Coordinator" for the state's department of Early Learning and Care.

“I cannot emphasize enough how far back this is going to set myself and the work that I am trying to do,” she wrote in her complaint.
