The Metro Nashville and Davidson County government placed a job listing for a “DEI Education Trainer” on Friday, who will work a “flexible/hybrid” schedule for about $56,000 per year.
Posted on Friday, the job listing indicates the full-time position is for the government’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion division, and the applicant will be “responsible for expanding the current training efforts” of the city’s DEI office “and promoting alignment of Metro’s equity goals.”
As the position is advertised with a “hybrid/flexible” work schedule, The Tennessee Star contacted three Metro officials inquiring about whether the role is new, if applicants who do not live near Nashville will be accepted, and how much time applicants will be expected to spend in the office, but did not receive a response. Questions about who receives DEI training, what materials are used, and whether elected officials play a role in selecting DEI training materials also went unanswered.
Potential job duties for Nashville’s latest DEI professional include identifying and proposing “adjustments to the current training framework” of the Metro Nashville’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI). The job listing explains applicants will also be expected to develop “DEI training curriculum” and monitor “changes in governmental laws and regulation to ensure that training stays current.”
Other likely job duties include “preparing training materials and written and oral presentations” and “supporting efforts that build awareness and creates [sic] an inclusive space for employees and communities.”
Metro officials also did not respond to inquiries from The Star which sought to ascertain whether the city is aware of the ongoing controversy surrounding DEI, even after some have argued contributed to the purported rise in antisemitism at Harvard University and the resignation of its disgraced former president, Claudine Gay.
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman, whose activism and reporting is credited for helping cause Gay to resign, wrote on social media that antisemitism at Harvard was the “canary in the coal mine” warning of the danger of DEI, which he claimed is “a political advocacy movement on behalf of certain groups that are deemed oppressed under DEI’s own methodology.”
Ackman explained, “Under DEI’s ideology, any policy, program, educational system, economic system, grading system, admission policy, (and even climate change due its disparate impact on geographies and the people that live there), etc. that leads to unequal outcomes among people of different skin colors is deemed racist.”
Pundits have noted that pushback against DEI largely began in June 2023, when the Supreme Court ruled Harvard’s racial admissions standards was unconstitutional, and has rapidly advanced in the months since that decision.

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU IMPOSE “MANDATORY TERM LIMITS” ON THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.
The POWER of the PEOPLE is provided in the original Metro Charter by providing voters with the power to hire & fire their Representatives on the Metro Council. Thus is how our goverment was run, until John Sieganthaler (Owner of The Tennessean newspaper) launched an ALL OUT BRUTAL ATTACK on then Bill Boner to prevent him from getting reelected & swifly move Leftist Carpetbagger Phil Bredesen into position to win as Mayor. Bredesen had no Nashville Roots, basically an implant, but people are so easily manipulated by ” trusted media”. When Progressive Phil Bredesen became Mayor, with a lot of free publicity from John Sieganthalor, together they immefiately launched a huge publicity campaign on Davidson County Voters to convince voters that MANDATORY TERM LIMITS would be a great thing for Nashville voters. But it required a change to the Metro Charter, which required a vote by residents of Nashville. So it was placed on the next election ballot. The Metro Charter is the local governing document much like the Tennessee Constitution is for State & the US Constitution for federal government.
Most voters never saw or even knew much about the Metro Charter. The less people know about their governing documents, the easier it is to manipulate the voters. It’s by design. It should be a part of our Public School Curriculum, as long as the curriculum is correct & not propaganda. Parents must stay on top of the curriculum in Public Schools.
The Metro Charter provided gave THE PEOPLE the POWER to hire & fire their Representaves (the Peoples voice) in or out of the Metro Council as they see fit. With MANDATORY TERM LIMITS, citizens lost the ability to fire the bad Reps & keep good ones in office. This absolutely took away the POWER OF THE PEOPLE. The power shifted to the Mayor ( Executive Branch & his bureaucrats (aka deep state ). The Executive Branch does not represent the people. They tell you they do, but their job is to administer the Laws that the People make through their Council Reps. More & more the Executive Branches at all levels are grabbing power from the PEOPLE.
It’s much to easy to change the Metro Charter. The Bureacrats in the Legal Department, which develops the changes they want to make to the Metro Charter know how difficult legalese is for lay persons to understand, which is another manipulative tactic of the Left. When people go to vote for Charter changes, they either skip that section of the ballot or they depend on the “trusted media” to explain the impact it will make on their lives.
It amazes me the number of people who don’t “like” politics, yet the politicians make laws that affect every aspect of your life.
A BAD MAYOR can grab power to mandate policies on the public if you don’t have strong Council Representation. Powers like forcing you to close your business, wear useless masks, take an experimental vaccine ( that doesn’t work) , keep your children learning at home on computers. They can force you to buy Electric Cars or have no car at all. All bad things for everyone except the elite.
The WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM ( a group of the Rich & Powerful from around the globe) that has been meeting this week in Davos, Sweden are working on their depopulation plans for all the serfs. If they have their way, ou won’t be allowed to vote on anything. According to them ” You won’t own anything & you’ll be Happy”. They are weaponizing farming so you will be forced to eat man-made meats or bugs. Population Control is their number one goal. That means billions of people will die if they get control.
The entire DEI MANDATES funded by your tax dollars & laundered through the Federal Dept of Education, are redistributed to school systems that agree to teach racism, hatred of the US Constitution, & US history. Porn , distorted sex information., stupid pronoun BS. All propaganda to dumb down voters & create division among Americans & confuse & permanently damage young future voters. They don’t give a crap about your kids future or whether they live or die. That’s Blunt but it’s true.
That’s why most of the Federal Institutions ( not included in the US Constitution, should be abolished, & given back to the States to Administer. Our Founders ( Framers of the US Constitution) warned us that Government must be kept to a minimum or you will lose your Republic. YES REPUBLIC. When Dems say things like ” THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY”, know that they want to destroy our Republic, a government OF THE PEOPLE , BY THE PEOPLE & FOR THE PEOPLE. These Marxists (aka Socialist Democratscof America or communists) only want POWER OVER YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.
the diversity agenda was yet another way to drive society towards marxism. its all marxism at its core, in different wrappers.
Ackman is correct!
Until the contrary has been demonstrated, I believe that the “diversity” agenda was from the beginning a tactic to replace everyone in a position of power in society with grey-human hybrids — possibly clones.

Fast Freddie dividing our great city already….no surprise there…..why won’t the city answer these questions?
Just add the cost to the tab of Davidson Cty taxpayers, on top of that lovely stadium charge coming their way.
Yet most of their students cannot read at a 3rd grade level. GET YOUR KIDS OUT
