John Leo preaches the protein wisdom gospel:

‘Diversity’ now functions like a militant religion on the campuses. Some colleges force professors to sign diversity loyalty oaths, promising to introduce the faith into their courses, even ones on math and science. Lani Guinier suggests that every college student be required to write an essay on diversity. And it is generally understood that anyone wishing to be president of a major university must be ready to promote diversity preferences despite what the law and the courts might say.

Well, Lani’d be happy to know that I require my students to write an essay on diversity — only first I force them to think through the philosophy that motivates the term in its current politicized incarnation. Which means (chortle!) I get quite a few essays from students damning “diversity” as a ham-fisted attempt at enforcing superficialist proportionalism.

By the way: Amen, brother John!

… Can I get an “Amen,” Lani?
