WHATEVER BECAME OF HIGHER EDUCATION?

Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C. is an institution for the deaf maintained by funds from HHS - i.e., our tax money - and founded by the philanthropy of Thomas Gallaudet (1787-1851). At NYU he was the first Professor of the Philosophy of Education, which, regarding the utter deterioration in education in this country, sounds highly dangerous.

Lately, a member of GC's administration, the category of personnel that skim off way too many of the dollars budgeted for education in this nation, fell into disfavor by signing a Church petition opposing queer unions, erroneoeously caller "marriages" by the illiterate and the brainwashed. She was suspended from her position, and the point of this commentray is mainly her job title.

She is GC's Chief Diversity Officer!!! Imagine that; the place has resources to hire someone to safeguard the degree of its diversity. When any operation is more concerned with the admixture of people's doing the work than in the QUALITY of the work accomplished, can there be anything but declension in its future?

Look all about you and answer the question. An insistence upon diversity is the rotten apple spoiling all of our barrels, and, in every case, the infection can be traced directly to D.C.
