Diversity is a curse. We are blessed when we are able to overcome the barriers.

This is why it is so important for the Supreme Court to put the nail in the coffin of affirmative action. The best vehicle to do that will be when the Harvard Law/Asian =-American case makes it up there. If the Court rules that race-based preferences of any kind violate the Constitution, then such inquiries by universities may become illegal. Public employers making employment contingent upon a willingness to violate the Constitution would get sued big time.

Racial discrimination is illegal and unconstitutional.

The academic quality of a university is inversely proportional to 100 X the number of times “diversity” is mentioned in their propaganda.

Naturally, only the math profs at that so-called university know what “inverse” means.

In future years affirmative action will be treated like Jim Crow laws. Get them on record now so they can be thrown off in the future.

How do we benefit having mathematicians with IQs less than 70? 60? 50? How low must we go to satisfy the diversity crowd?

<< Chad Topaz, a mathematician at Williams College, wrote in a Facebook post that Thompson’s article was a “travesty” and ...“I don’t know why Abigail Thompson would think this stuff” >>

Because, as Keith Richards sings in Memory Motel.....”she’s got a mind of her own, and she uses it well.”

Stop the Fed.gov money and massive debt going to the education-industrial complex.

Its merely creating a warped, twisted, malign bureaucracy, with a filthy political monoculture

“Diversity is a curse. We are blessed when we are able to overcome the barriers

Using the word we as a go-to pronoun feeds the curse, fair or not. A significant tool to overcome is the use of the word I.

The worship of diversity is destroying America.

In his new book The War for America's Soul (Washington, DC: Regnery, 2019), Sebastian Gorka notes that Marxist revolutionaries of the "Frankfurt school" realized that because there is no class structure in the US, they could not foment a Marxist-style class war in this country. But they discovered that the way to tear our society apart is to stir up strife between races, sexes, ethnic groups, etc. in the name of "diversity."

The bolsheviki useful idiots know, but still deny, the clear record of the revolution eating it’s own from Robespierre to Stalin. They are Beria in the exact sense.
