[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See, in my opinion this is precisely the opposite of a rational anti-discrimination policy.  The policy should say that these are irrelevant characteristics that should not form the basis for assessing or characterizing students.  Not that they should be valued.[/quote]

Would you say diversity is a good thing that should be celebrated, or not a big fan?

The word "diversity" is too vague allow for an answer to that question.  Diversity of what?  Skin colors?  Talents?  Sexual attractions?  I have this old, archaic view, which I know is extremely out of date and unpopular, where things like race, religion, national origin and the like should be completely irrelevant in public life.  I think we shouldn't care about any of these things in schools, jobs, and other areas of public life.  People are welcome to celebrate their own backgrounds in their personal lives, but in society at large we should all simply be Americans.  I realize that the categorically opposite view is the one in vogue today, where we need to emphasize all these formerly irrelevant characteristics.[/quote]

OK, so not a big fan, then.[/quote]
