- The statement could potentially cause harm by framing DEI as discriminatory, which may incite negative sentiments against such initiatives. [-1]Principle 1:I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
- The statement does not engage in direct harassment or hate speech, but it does generalize DEI as discriminatory, which could be seen as disrespectful to those who support or benefit from DEI programs. [-1]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 promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, as it presents DEI in a negative light without acknowledging its intended benefits. [-1]Principle 3:I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
- The statement does not engage in constructive dialogue and instead makes a broad claim about DEI promoting discrimination, which could be seen as an ad hominem attack on DEI initiatives. [-1]Principle 4:I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
