“I'm a black woman and I'm being called a white supremacist. That had never happened in my entire teaching career. And not only that, I’d never seen teachers calling each other names like that.”

In 2021, Dr. Tabia Lee was hired to direct De Anza College’s Office of Equity, Social Justice and Multicultural Education and to reduce the wokeness of the institution.

“I just went beyond the smaller bubble to the larger community, and said, ‘Who wants to work on actual inclusion and doing some things we've never done here before?’” says Dr. Lee

But after two years, Dr. Lee was terminated for her heterodox perspectives and inquiry-based approach to DEI.
