A University of Notre Dame (UND) alum who publicly opposed a new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) position at the architecture school received hateful messages after a dean sent an alumni-wide letter condemning the comments, according to a copy of the letter obtained by National Association of Scholars fellow John Sailer.

Stefanos Polyzoides, School of Architecture dean, sent a letter to alumni to respond to “horrific and deeply hurtful activity on social media” by alumni who were opposed to the school’s DEI goals and its new “Program in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and Alumni Engagement,” according to the letter posted to Twitter by Sailer. Polyzoides wrote to alumni to “join [him] in denouncing these hateful comments,” after which an alum reportedly received hateful messages.
Notre Dame’s School of Architecture has bulked up its DEI efforts, hiring a new DEI director.
When one grad of the school tweeted criticism of those efforts, the dean of the school sent a letter accusing that alum of racism and sexism, and calling for a large scale denunciation. pic.twitter.com/vlqwBQfBBv

“You are literally worse than Hitler,” one message reportedly read. “May you and your seed be subject to sharing bike lanes with SUVs for ten thousand generations.”
“You can’t hide behind the keyboard,” read another. “We see you. The racist and idiotic things you say on Social media will come back to haunt you. Words have consequences. Good time to shut up.”
A third message posted by Sailer called the alum, who was not named, “a mediocre white man.”
Polyzoides letter did not include what comments he was referring to, but reportedly labeled them as “sexist” and “racist.” The comments were “unacceptable and inexcusable practice by people who were raised within the values of the [UND].”
“I remind you that the inscription on the base of the statue of Jesus that stands before the Golden Dome with welcoming arms reads, ‘Come to me all of you.’ All of you. All are welcome at and all are invited to the School of Architecture,” Polyzoides reportedly wrote.
UND and Polyzoides did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

EDITOR’S NOTE: What is behind the current war against America’s children? Why are so many adults killing their unborn children right up to the moment of birth, or even after? Why are millions of kids sexualized virtually from birth, and injected with an experimental “vaccine” proven to be both ineffective and dangerous, then as toddlers transported to events glorifying mentally ill, demonically possessed men dressed as women?
Why are America’s children systematically sexualized at school, and by transgender recruiters on social media platforms like TikTok, seducing many into “identifying” as the opposite gender, or a brand-new imaginary gender, then encouraged to take powerful drugs and hormones and have their healthy breasts amputated or undergo chemical or surgical castration?
Why are our children simultaneously indoctrinated with toxic Marxist ideologies like “critical race theory” intended to condition them to hate and reject their own country, parents, faith, race, gender and themselves? Why are they simultaneously being frightened of the future by being fed lurid, terrifying – and groundless – apocalyptic tales of the imminent destruction of the world due to global warming?
No wonder youth suicides have skyrocketed, as have depression, anxiety, addiction and drug overdoses. Indeed, fentanyl, the No. 1 cause of death of younger Americans 18 to 45, destroys multitudes of children annually.
Make no mistake: The harm being done to America’s children in this multi-front war is not accidental: Children are the primary target.
WHY? How can all this be happening in the greatest nation on earth? Who and what is behind it? And HOW CAN IT BE STOPPED?
