Pledging allegiance to something, Nazi German did it on their physicists, making them to Nazi ideology during 1930s, Deutsche Physik as opposed to Jewish physics (relativity). Mao asked all intellectuals to pledge allegiance with communism regardless of their being members of CCP or not. I know it's the idea from university's administrators, not from professors. It seems all bureaucrats in the world think alike, whether in Nazi German or in Mao's China or in U.S.

Unless you think there is no difference between "write a statement on their commitment to diversity" and take some kind of pledge like Stalin or Mao. In which case you would be a total fucking moron.
That said, it is becoming very common for applicants to jobs to be asked to write a "diversity statement," along with the standard teaching statement and service statement. I don't like it - it is just fluff that no one cares about in the hiring process mandated by the university PC police forces.
So it is pointless, but it is not Stalin, no matter what your right-wing fucking moron websites tell you.
You are foolish to think that demanding a written statement supporting the liberal agenda at a job interview is any different than expecting a pledge of allegiance. It is exactly that.

"I think people (regardless of race, creed or type of sexual partner) should be hired because their abilities match the requirements of the job for which they are being considered."
Is this just another way to make sure they are only hiring liberals?
They aren’t Mein Kampf, the Communist Manifesto, or Mao’s little red book of sayings though.
But they are becoming common. I am hoping it is a fad that fades out.

example.
during a hiring process, you'd better stop saying "no difference". I know this much better than you. It's not like what you saw from TV/movies. The details of that creed sound not bad to average job applicants (most of them are apolitical or political insensitive).
I’m sure they suck. But they don’t exist in higher ed.
