Dave Rubin clashed with a pro-DEI professor during a recent speech at the University of Delaware’s Biden School of Public Policy. The tense exchange happened as Rubin criticized diversity initiatives he claims are dividing America. Witnesses say the professor became visibly angry when Rubin challenged DEI’s focus on race over merit.
Rubin stood his ground, arguing that DEI programs discriminate against qualified candidates. He accused universities of pushing far-left ideology instead of teaching critical thinking. The professor reportedly tried shutting down the conversation by labeling Rubin’s views as “dangerous.”
The confrontation occurred at an event hosted by the SNF Ithaca Initiative, which Rubin says is packed with Biden allies. Critics point out the irony of free speech battles happening at a school named after the president. Rubin called it proof that liberal elites control education.
Sage Steele and Russell Brand praised Rubin for exposing campus censorship. Steele said DEI creates “victim mentalities” that hurt minority students. Brand argued woke policies make young people weaker instead of preparing them for real challenges.
DEI initiatives have sparked national debates as parents reject racial quotas in schools. Rubin warned that these programs teach kids to see everyone through a “skin color lens.” He urged families to pull children from schools pushing divisive agendas.
The professor defended DEI by claiming it fixes systemic racism. Rubin fired back that America already has equal opportunity laws. He said DEI’s real goal is punishing straight white men while lowering standards for everyone else.
Rubin’s team released footage showing the professor refusing to debate facts. Viewers criticized the academic for using emotional attacks instead of logic. Many conservatives called it proof that leftists can’t defend their ideas openly.
This clash highlights the growing backlash against DEI’s radical takeover of education. Rubin vows to keep challenging elites who put ideology above excellence. His supporters say it’s time to save schools from activists destroying America’s future.
