These people are already in our country.
There are over 100 million of them.
It’s something we’re going to have to talk about at some point.
California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) Journalism Professor Jesus Ayala recently celebrated the fact that the students enrolled in his fall 2024 journalism course were “100% students of color.”
The university featured a December article on Ayala’s work and shared his comments about his Journalism 482 course.
“100% of the students enrolled in JOUR 482 in fall 2024 are students of color,” Ayala is quoted as saying. “In order to diversify TV newsrooms, we need to diversify newsroom pipelines. This is what makes [Beach TV News] special.”
The university’s official LinkedIn account also shared Ayala’s quote and a link to the article with its nearly 300,000 followers.
The broadcast program is intended to boost diversity in the newsroom pipeline as news media “becoming less diverse,” according to the university.
Ayala, who has won multiple Emmy Awards, is “one of the most distinguished and decorated broadcast journalism professors in the country,” according to his university biography.
“Prof. Ayala teaches courses in both English and Spanish and specializes in broadcast journalism, field producing, multimedia production, international reporting and reporting about race and ethnicity,” the web page reads. “In 2008, he covered Barack Obama’s historic presidential campaign as a white house [sic] pool producer.”
Just getting rid of California altogether, sealing it off and letting them fend for themselves, would be a step in the right direction.
Maybe we can gift it to Denmark as compensation for Greenland?
