The University of Colorado Boulder (UC Boulder) is offering a job as a Visiting Scholar in Conservative Thought and Policy that requires a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) statement to apply, according to its website.

UC Boulder announced the job in the College of Arts and Sciences on Aug. 1 for individuals who are “deeply engaged” in the practice of “conservative thought and policymaking,” and requires a DEI statement to apply to the position, accordingto the website. The university’s website states that it “does not discriminate” on the basis of “political affiliation” or “political philosophy.”

DEI statements are used by universities to determine if an applicant is committed to advancing DEI principles in their work, but they have come under fire in recent months for allegedly being unconstitutional. Multiple states, including Florida and West Virginia, have attempted to ban them from being considered in university hiring.

A “key responsibility” of the position will be to “continue an open and vigorous dialogue on campus featuring the principles of conservatism in historical and contemporary contexts,” the application reads.

A February survey by the Foundation for Individual Right and Expression, an organization that focuses on free speech, found that nearly half of university professors disapprove of diversity statements and say they are a “political litmus test” that violates academic freedom.

UC Boulder did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today’s ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film “Sound of Freedom” – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.

According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children’s “right to consent” on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.

“Pedophiles are sitting back right now,” says Ballard, “and going, ‘We’ve been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don’t have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us’ – IN AMERICA!”

Ballard’s concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, “THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION.”

But that’s just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites’ affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled “THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
