We saw it at Ft Hood. “Diversity” is poisonous. It not only sews disunity and rewards mediocrity, it can, quite literally, kill.
It does the same in private industry. Corporate America is plagued with diversity consultants who make a fortune running seminars in Fortune 500 companies. Plus quotas for hiring as the result of government pressure — if a company sells to the US government it has to provide diversity statistics.
Unfortunately “diversity” a code word for affirmative action, diminishes the accomplishments of minorities who perform and serves to foster racial divisiveness instead of the teamwork required to achieve the organization’s effectiveness.
