11.16.24 - Okay, this was shockingly funny as well as eye-opening. Watching the three characters chase their tails as they tried to figure out who's who and what's what and where do the two overlap in some insane Venn diagram of inclusivity was hilarious. And I would have done a spit take if I was drinking during the "Kobayoshi Maru." "Is that an Asian student?" exchange. Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos (funny, she doesn't look like a McBurnette-Andronicos) has written a corker here.

Challenging story. This well written piece illustrates the folly of not being serious about DEI. This happens all over the US these days and in many different areas. Without input from gender, ethnic, disabled, etc. peoples - we get a well intentioned, but well off the mark situation. Dark Comedy and twisty significance. Brava. 10/18/2024

A pitch-perfect and viscerally unnerving satire of academia and race in modern America. Though Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos takes aim at the world of education (and hits her mark perfectly), anyone who's dealt with institutions of any kind will recognize the characters, the situation and the absurd way they handle it.
This is what great satire strives to be: funny and uncomfortable.
