Diversity: An Ideology

Diversity: An Ideology

George Seaver Web Exclusive

Most reasonable people have now recognized that Major Nidal Malik Hasan's actions in the Fort Hood massacre were not caused by pre-post-traumatic stress, by bullying, or by mental troubles, but were in accordance with his religious beliefs. Yet too many commentators resorted to the inadequate terms of political correctness to try and explain the event. What gives PC its pervasiveness, persistence, and power to influence behavior?

The influence of politically correct ideology was demonstrated by the senior Army General and Army Chief of Staff George Casey, when he stated that "as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that's worse." He then ordered his commanders to be alert for anti-Muslim actions in their troops, as did the secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. This attitude is larger than this event, and so deserves a comprehensive investigation.

It is well known that political correctness has pervaded the academic world, as documented in literature and demonstrated by well-publicized speech codes, harassment policies, and postmodern curricula. What is not well known is that the same attitude also permeates the military, the FBI, and the CIA.

This article details the destruction of our military, intelligence and security forces by the pernicious ideology of diversity.  (Remember, of course, "diversity" does NOT include whites, especially males, and most especially Christians.  Diversity can ONLY include those sheltered under the "minority" umbrella.)

It's a religion to those people.

The military has a totally-****ed view of diversity, to the idiots who push it, it basically means "A bunch of people who look different all thinking exactly alike."

Nobody loves groupthink more than DOD leadership, and the one kind of 'Diversity' that would actually make it better - diversity of THOUGHT - is exactly the kind they can't stand. 

As usually happens with DOD, they've taken something that actually has a kernel of sense to it, turned it sideways, 'Gone large,' and then rammed it up everyone's ass.

diversity kills.

I'm not against preserving your history - I'm 3rd gen Polish immigrant myself - but unity of culture, language, priorities, etc. are what (get this) unite.

The US is no longer "The Great Melting Pot". Diversity has killed the unity that could bring bring the nation together in tough times.

Other nations that are just as diverse are having problems too. Iraq and Afghanistan come to mind.
