There’s a huge difference between teaching children to treat each other with proper courtesy and respect regardless of their differences, and denying reality.

You are absolutely right! Here is what I posted on another thread, based upon this same story:

The compulsion driven need to pretend that we are all interchangeable is an absolute insult to anyone with any sense, regardless of race, sex, class or whatever. No two of us are alike; but instead of encouraging people to develop the reality of their own nature--after all, economic progress throughout the historic period has depended upon a division of labor, based upon the point;--we have this neurotic need to pretend to an equality that is a moronic concept. No two apples on the same tree are even equal.

I am not--certainly not as a lawyer--denying that it is desirable that people have equal access to the Courts; or that the scales of Justice should not weigh the issues in any case, with a proper balance. But what is essential to any understanding of where our contemporary problems arise, is to appreciate that this idiotic egalitarian mindset is in fact, The Greatest Mischief Ever Wrought.

I have found that when challenged, no Leftist can actually defend it, but most Conservatives think it less than nice to do so. The result is that the demands from the Left grow ever more absurd, ever more extreme.

In contrast, think of all the generations of happy children who celebrated their hopes to grow up as men & women, in each case proud to carry on as admirable role models had carried on before them. Egalitarianism trashes all that is noble in the human experience.

Great points.

What good is it to *celebrate diversity* and then turn around and deny it?

The hypocrisy of their position is unbelievable.

Nice post. In other words, those who claim to be “for” minority rights are the same people that are forcing the denial of the ultimate minority, the individual.
