Anthony B. Bradley is a research associate at the Acton Institute. In an essay for the Institute, he pretty much destroys the myths of diversity as a necessity for academic achievement.
The belief that racial diversity is a key to academic success has no empirical basis. If this myth were true, then it would be difficult to explain racial success in more mono-racial societies such as Japan, Germany, and the Netherlands.
I would really love to see someone like Jesse Jackson offer legitimate counter-arguments. It just isn?t possible.
Thanks to John Ray for the link.
Iraq Now also pointed out that the Military is an “underrepresented minority” on many elite campuses, and their presence is never considered to promote diversity. Bullskate, I say.
