    I have never understood that whole "diversity is our strength" canard.  

    It seems to me that America is great not because of its diversity, but because Americans are generally willing, on principle, to ignore each other's diversity.  Our little experiment here allows people of different cultures to gather together and to move forward as Americans...you know...from many, one.  

    This infatuation so many people have with multiculturalism is anathema to the American ideal.  To think that students might learn better because they happen to sit next to someone in a classroom with a different skin tone or speech inflection is silly.  This happens how, through osmosis?  

    We see similar monuments to diversity in many places on campus.  Yet, these monuments do nothing but hinder mingling.  Go to the Women's Center on campus and see how many men are milling about.  Go to the Gay Alliance office and document all the straight people there.  On and on.  These offices dedicated to diversity serve as protected safety zones for those whose group is being celebrated.  Mike Adams, a professor at UNC-Wilmington, has done a lot of writing on this subject.

    Chief Justice John Roberts said it best..."The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."  A comment that is lost on people like Mary Sue Coleman.
