Diversity ScholarshipAbstractRecently, white supremacists rebranded as the “alt-right” have waged a national media campaigntargeting critical education scholars, including STEM education diversity research and ourcommitments to equity, inclusion, and social justice. Many campuses have been besieged bywhite supremacist activity seeking to incite violence and attract media attention.In this climate, many of today’s students are encountering conversations around difference,power, and privilege amid a flurry of alt-right propaganda, exposed in a new way to overtlyracist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, or ableist ideas through newmedia. This is a high-stakes, low-safety environment for all learners, presenting
