Pink-haired DEI trainer slams Oregon forestry bosses 'for hiring on basis of merit not gender or identity'
A pink-haired DEI trainer has slammed Oregon's forestry department for hiring on the basic of merit rather than identity.
Megan Donecker filed a complaint about her former boss Mike Shaw and moaned about him telling her that he sought the 'candidates most qualified for the job.'
DEI advocates like Donecker say hiring should be done through an 'intersectional lens' whereby applications from marginalized people are given greater weight.
Shaw, who earns $192,000-a-year as deputy head of Oregon's Department of Forestry, has been put on leave over Donecker's complaint.
Donecker, who worked as the department's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion chief claimed six queer staffers didn't 'feel safe or comfortable' at work because they could not have 'conversation around pronouns.'
Oregon's progressive Governor Tina Kotek - who was hit by a corruption scandal for hiring her wife - has also waded into the drama, with her office saying she backs all efforts to 'advance DEI.'
Oregon has been roiled by culture wars between progressives in such liberal cities as Portland, and conservatives, including residents of the state's rural and forested eastern areas, who want to break away and join Idaho.

The only people who argue against merit are those who have none.
