  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not directly disrespect the privacy and dignity of others, but the blanket characterization of DEI as 'toxic' could be seen as disrespectful to those who support and are positively impacted by DEI efforts. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement lacks empathy towards those who may be disadvantaged without DEI programs and does not promote understanding of the role DEI plays in addressing systemic inequalities. [-2]

  6. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement uses influence to promote a particular viewpoint that could lead to societal changes, but it does not do so in a way that fosters inclusive dialogue or understanding. [-1]
  7. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
