The editors of the New York Post have noticed that we have a little problem on college campuses.

The ‘don’t you dare say that’ drive for campus ‘diversity’

Faculty leaders at a top US university system are being told to avoid such offensive statements as “America is the land of opportunity,” “Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough” and “There is only one race, the human race.”

It’s an initiative by University of California President Janet Napolitano, a series of seminars for deans and department heads across the UC system.

The goal is to “broaden faculty leaders’ capacity to support faculty diversity and enhance department and campus climate toward inclusive excellence.”

A professor leaked word of the sessions to the Web site The College Fix, which then posted many of the seminar handouts.
One handout warns against phrases that promote “the myth of meritocracy” (such as “I believe the most qualified person should get the job”) or buy into the idea of “color-blindness.” Claims like “America is a melting pot,” you see, “indicate that a White person does not want to or need to acknowledge race.”

Another handout says the term “raising the bar” is “elitist” and phrases like “hard worker” indicate “euphemized bias.”
The bottom line: In the name of “diversity,” the University of California is looking to impose total conformity of thought. Sadly, this is typical of campuses across America.
