Diversity is crap

Its hard to find anyone opposed to diversity. As Rodney King once said,
"Can't we all get along?" Who could be against each of us living side by
side with others of different races, faiths or beliefs?

But, what has occurred is the "politicization" of diversity along with the
environment, health care and a myriad of other issues capturing our attention.

However, this politicization of diversity has at it roots the political power
which comes along with government intrusion, something all of us should
be concerned about.

Locally, we have seen a backlash against the attempt by the Wake Board
of Education to use the public's school buses to ensure schools are "diverse".

No matter the parents desire to live is a neighborhood near the school of
THEIR choice, the former board's majority decided otherwise. And, they felt
the sting of the voters resentment!

Not reversing this trend to diversify Wake's school would only ensure our
county would be the same path that major urban cities have traveled for decades.

Not unlike moving the deck chairs on the Titanic, moving children to different
schools does not improve the quality at poor performing schools, it masks
this problem with the averaging of student performance throughout the district.
