In “The LAFD is Run by Three Lesbians Named ‘Kirsten’”, I chronicled some of the insane woke follies at the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The third Kirsten is Kristine Larson, whose organization ‘Equity on Fire’ complained endlessly about sexism and racism in the LAFD until the fire department’s leadership became all-lesbian Kirstens. And Kristine Larson was rewarded with the title of Equity Bureau Chief and a $399,000 salary.
Or six times what an actual firefighter makes.
Here Kristine Larson very revealingly justifies DEI in the LAFD.
“You want to see somebody that responds to your house, to your emergency… that looks like you,” Larson insists.
And then sneers, “Am I able to carry your husband out of a fire? He got himself in the wrong place.”
So many people responded to my article, post and tweets on the subject by arguing that the mission of the fire department should be to fight fires. But the mission of any organization overrun by wokes is to push identity politics. In Larson’s own words, we need firefighters who can’t physically do the job to ‘represent’ the underrepresented, and if they can’t do the job, that’s not their fault, but the fault of those who expected them to do their jobs. High on their own narcissism, they dismiss people who expect them to do their jobs.
“Am I able to carry your husband out of a fire? He got himself in the wrong place.”
That’s what a woke fire department, police department, military, any corporate workplace means.
Wokes won’t work. They expect to be admired for being themselves. Their sense of narcissistic entitlement is endless. As is their malice toward anyone who expects anything of them.
