That is pretty much what she meant — no joke.

Liberals are fond of discovering "numerical discrimination."

My favorite episode:
when Sen. Hatch gave nominee Ruth Bader Ginsburg the scenario
about how someone in an average community that, over decades, had
never hired an African-American...and would that employer
be guilty of discrimination.

And that "deer-in-the-headlights" look on Ginsburg's face and
that moment of silence when she hears that Hatch has just described
HER record of hiring clerks and associates.

That was PRICELESS.

And they claim to be champions of diversity, free thought and expression. When actually they are nothing but the worst kind of fascists, totalitarians and phonies.
They’re also liars, which is true of all leftists.

Diversity is important only when they are being diverse from the truth, the white race, the constitution, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. All other diversity is “non-progressive.”

Unreal how it has come about that University officials and the Professors they hire are predominantly liberal. And now they perpetuate it through their teaching.

Wonder just now it began.

You might start early in the 1900s at NYU with the radical Commie students - influenced by the radicals of Europe and Russia

The spoiled children of of wealthy NY businessmen with a guilt complex and yet arrogance to the average American

PBS-TV has has some good programs on that back a bit

It’s the source of most of America’s problems with America hating Americans

Yes, I agree. I want to find that thread we talked about the other day, the one talking about the ‘end times’.

They had some discussion early in the article about how liberals and conservatives can’t even discuss things anymore and I want to see the ‘wording’ they used in that because it was striking.

“End Times” - a 1600+ year history

Beware of false prophets, Messiahs, hustlers, TV millionaires

I wasn’t referring to the prophesy part of it as I wrote in my comment.

I found it and pinged it.

That was my first lesson in leftists, years ago. Never, ever concede a point, such as say, “the sky is blue”. Once (after several decades, say,) you finally provide irrefutable proof, then it’s suddenly “well, so what, blah blah blah, it’s Bushs fault”

While I did feel out numbered in a class, and usually going against the ideas of the professors, you were still allowed to be heard.

Only insofar to provide a punching bag.

...the applicants will bring rich experiences, diverse backgrounds, and ideology to the university community.”

It the world of academia, “diverse backgrounds, and ideology” means homosexuality, socialism and a hatred for the USA.

True, of course. However, Dr. Moyar has hit upon the very promising tactic of using the hypocritical standards of the educrats as a crowbar to let a bit of true diversity -- the diversity of ideas -- into their world.

I had hoped this thread might focus on how such tactics might be developed and applied, rather than just agreeing that the leftists are leftists, and that they systematically discriminate against conservatives. We knew that already.

In a lot of govt. institutions, there’s a bad tendency for bosses to knowingly hire lower quality people because the boss doesn’t want to hire somebody who could take his/her job later. A lot of bosses get satisfaction out of being the most experienced and knowledgeable person in the conference room, so that’s another reason to hire a bunch ignorant lockstep liberals, who will only do what they’re told and strive for mediocrity, over normal people.
