Obviously, America must dump divide-and-conquer diversity and return to the pursuit of excellence – especially of individual moral character – as well as to President Kennedy’s call to service. Those are truly benign anchors of a good and healthy country.
American Greatness (amgreatness.com) "By now, everyone should have noticed how ubiquitous the word “diversity” is, often alongside partner terms such as “equity“ and “inclusion,“ making the acronym “DEI.”
"Though “diversity” sounds benign and technically only means varied, different or differentiated, its modern usage appears to mean more. How much more may be the difference between something benign and something malignant.
"Given these polar opposites, scrutiny of the term is in order.
"The ubiquity of the word is itself suspicious. Upon reflection, incessant talk and advocacy of diversity is odd, since real diversity exists without any of that. Novice gardeners, for example, can barely count the varieties of tomatoes or the different kinds of trees. Humankind itself consists of billions of individuals, no one of whom is like the other.
"So the world has diversity without anyone even trying. Advocating diversity, or hiring diversity officials, therefore, is a little like lobbying for gravity. Huh? Gravity pulls everything to the ground on its own. No lobby required.
"Worse, if diversity already exists but officials are hired to promote it, they will of course begin promoting something else just to have something to do.
"Add to this that a lot of diversity talk is dishonest. America has heard for years that “diversity is our strength” and in 1978 the United States Supreme Court began suggesting that “diversity” was a constitutional value on par with the presumption of innocence, due process or free expression.
"But the word “diversity” appears neither in the United States Constitution nor in the Declaration of Independence, America’s foundational documents." . . .
