More than 50 years of changes in higher education have taught us that the more diverse the academic environment, the more vigorous its discussions.

Ah, yes, those "vigorous discussions" that diversity brings... like the 200 killed in Africa over the comment "Muhammed would happily choose a wife from among these women"... like the race riots and looting after the Rodney King verdict, the Cincinnati verdict, the Watts riots, the Philadelphia riots... like the civil war in India that saw millions killed... like the civil rights demonstrations in the South that were violently put down... like the thousands of Christians slaughtered for refusing to convert to islam... of COURSE UM would want more of these vigorous discussions on its campus! Diversity is our GREATEST strength!!

If diversity is such a great strength, why is it that the most uniformly populated nations in the world have the least civil unrest? I don't recall hearing about Norway's race riots, Switzerland's religious purges, or Uganda's equal rights protests being violently quelled. If, as the liberals chant, we only want peace, wouldn't it be wiser to NOT encourage diversity?
