As usual, good stuff at OpinionJournal - Best of the Web Today, but this snippet had me chuckling:
"From the Highlander, the student newspaper at the University of California, Riverside, comes a hilarious example of how diversity is actually practiced in higher education. It's a report on a student senate meeting:
At the meeting, the senate also voted to approve a mural to be placed in the Commons. There was some concern voiced by the senate about the contents of the mural.
"I see some pilgrim invaders here," said Elisa Haro, academic affairs director. "It kind of reminds me of my colonization, and I don't like that."
The artist of the mural said that the pilgrim invaders were meant to be Shakespearean actors and that he would try to make that more clear.
Other concerns with the mural included the depiction of white cranes, which the senate demanded be changed to color cranes.
They were also concerned with the lack of a same sex couple depicted, which the artist agreed to add. The senate voted to approve the mural in light of the adjustments being made."
The funny thing is that it exhibits the normalcy that those on the inside would ascribe to this discussion. They fail to see the inanity of their PC attitude. Wait until they get into the real world.
