Whom FDR barred from participating in WWII.
Guess he thought Lindy was a 'German-Firster.'
I think almost every group that is "for" tolerance, diversity and free speech wants to deny those to anyone who disagrees with their agenda.
Take up the White Man's burden,
And reap his old reward--
The blame of those ye better
The hate of those ye guard--
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:--
"Why brought ye us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?"

On the contrary, such "education" only serves to highlight differences the educator is attempting to minimize.
HOORAY FOR PETE!!
I was working on a Powerpoint presentation on "Diversity in the Workplace" for one of our Employment lawyers the other day.
"So," I asked, "how do you know your company's properly 'diverse' unless you're judging people strictly by their skin, sex organs, sexual orientation or age?"
I'm still waiting for the answer. You'd think with all they help they get rearing their kids from Mr. Mom and the nanny, these "We Need More Women CEO's!!" type chicks would have the easy questions figured out by now.
"Ill confess it, at least: like thousands of other typical Jewish kids of my generation, I was reared as a Jewish nationalist, even a quasi-separatist. Every summer for two months for 10 formative years during my childhood and adolescence I attended Jewish summer camp. There, each morning, I saluted a foreign flag, dressed in a uniform reflecting its colors, sang a foreign national anthem, learned a foreign language, learned foreign folk songs and dances, and was taught that Israel was the true homeland. Emigration to Israel was considered the highest virtue, and, like many other Jewish teens of my generation, I spent two summers working in Israel on a collective farm while I contemplated that possibility. More tacitly and subconsciously, I was taught the superiority of my people to the gentiles who had oppressed us. We were taught to view non-Jews as untrustworthy outsiders, people from whom sudden gusts of hatred might be anticipated, people less sensitive, intelligent, and moral than ourselves. We were also taught that the lesson of our dark history is that we could rely on no one."

What is it with you people? You can't function without me?
Is that your problem? You feel inferior to Jews? And Foxman saying something like that freaks you out? I am sorry to hear that, maybe you need a good shrink.
