WE have to ration supplies for the war effort. Diversity, after all, is about understanding other people's cultures so that we can all get along together. However, it seems to me that diversity has gone the way of family values.
Family values is a vague term that at one point in time sort of meant something.
Now politicians, the media and the general public have warped and distorted the term beyond resemblance of any meaning it might have once had. What's even worse is that our institutions of higher learning have gotten caught up in the craze. When the good old cardinal and gold came up with the diversity requirement I was rather dismayed. The diversity requirement is the university equivalent of your mom paying the kids on your block to be your friends. It might look good on the surface, but you don't really have friends, and it increases tensions between people as they are being forced to act in a way they wouldn't normally.
