A post by Maynard
Who remembers the bad old days when educational facilities were segregated? That was the era when mindless conservatives defended the status quo, and thoughtful liberals argued that separating us by race was primitive and immoral.
And now we’ve come full circle, and it’s the liberals that divide us by race, while conservatives call for common ground and shared values.
This article, “Let the Segregation Commence”, describes the ethnic- and gender-identity graduation ceremonies that have usurped the place of the traditional UCLA graduation. Students learn that, at the end of the day, tribalism trumps character or individualism.
This isn’t the policy of some obscure private cow college. This is the way we run our elite public academies in America’s biggest, richest state.
This isn’t the message we should be sending or the future we should be building.
Had no idea this kind of thing was going on. How incredibly ridiculous!! The intellectual elitists need their own island–far, far away from the rest of us.
“As in so many areas of American life, the preposterous is now normal.”
I don’t know about “normal”. But the preposterous is definitely too often tolerated.
Well reasoned Maynard. I agree. The sheer anger and hatred the left, (far left), has for Conservatives is almost pathological. I do not know if the divisions can be exrapolated nationwide however. As you state, the crux of the problem lies within the education system; the question remains, are these radical divisions translating into a majority political divide or are they simply the loudest voice we hear? I have to believe that Americans outside the influence of the elite and it is many are as outraged about your premise as I am. By nature Americans do not thrive on conflict, but lately I have to wonder if the set up is there. GREAT Post..
