Diversity and Excellence

Diversity or Excellence

 Related to the issues of Equality and Equity is the contrast between Diversity and Excellence.  Diversity is a wonderful thing as we experience a myriad of cultures and backgrounds and broaden our understanding and acceptance of a variety of people and cultures. However, if diversity is the reason for employment or position in and of itself it is harmful to society.  For example, you do not want someone hired to pilot the airplane you are flying in simply on the basis of their gender, color or sexual orientation. You want someone who is trained in excellence on how to fly an airplane. There is not a problem of hiring a diversity of people if they are all equally qualified but if we give in to quotas for quotas sake we are settling for an inferior product and/or service and we take motivation away from people to excel.

Our goal should be diversity with excellence not simply diversity. Excellence should be the determining factor, not race or gender.

The diversity dialogue seems to focus mostly on gender identity issues or sexual preference these days.  Biblically God created mankind Male and Female. This also is scientific. Gender is determined by chromosomes and body parts. There are unfortunate cases of real genetic abnormalities which should be handled with compassion and understanding.  However, most gender identity issues are matters of mental preference. Color of skin issues (race) are a matter of the color of your skin or your genetic parentage. Gender issues should be a matter of your scientific, identifiable physical make up.  We talk more about this in our discussion of truth.

Critical Race Theory

Critical Race Theory (CRT)

Systemic Racism

Critical race theory’s key assertion is

that racism is not the result of individual, conscious racist actions or thoughts. Racism is “systemic” and “structural.”

 It is embedded in America’s legal system, institutions, and free-enterprise system, and imposes “whiteness” as the societal norm.

The system, including capitalism, is “rigged”

to reward white behavior and preserve

white supremacy. Curricula and training sessions that teach that racism is systemic and structural, and demand that Americans work to dismantle laws, traditions, norms, institutions, and free-market enterprise—the entire American system itself—are part of CRT.  (Taken from E-Booklet The Heritage Foundation on CRT)

 

Systemic Racism means that racism is within the laws and governing system of a nation or other governed entity.

While racism is alive in the hearts of mankind all over the world, the laws of the United States do not make distinction of how to treat people on the basis of race.  This has been in the system in the past and prevalent in states until as recently as the 1960’s where people could not use water fountains, restrooms or hotels if they were black. 

People who are racist are still in positions of authority and might use their authority with prejudice.  However, the Laws of the Nation are not such that their behavior is justified or legal.  The racism is not systemic in the sense that it is not justified in the legal system.

A major objection to CRT is that it creates division by contending that in society there are oppressors and the oppressed.  And you are automatically an oppressor if you are racially white and you are oppressed if you are racially black.  This is diametrically opposed to the desire expressed by Martin Luther King, Jr. in his equal rights movement when he stated his goal that one day people would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

What is Insanity?

A young mother recently took her less than 2 month old baby to a local hospital.  She was asked there what the gender of the baby was when she was born.  Insanity involves a break from reality, delusion.  Somehow insanity now rests on a culture.

Even if gender was somehow defined by what we think and not by chromosomes and genitals, how can you determine what a baby is thinking about their gender?  They are not thinking about their gender and gender is not determined by what we think!

If I decided to breed horses, I would not have to interview the horse to determine its gender.  There are obvious physical characteristics which define gender.  The recent nominee to the Supreme Court although unable to define a woman did affirm the fact that physical characteristics somehow define a woman when she declared her reason for not being able to define a woman was that she is not a biologist!

The current delusion that thinks you determine gender in your mind is certainly a break from reality, known as Insanity!

I heard not too long ago some former classmates talking about how stupid it was for the founders of my hometown to believe, in 1900, the earth was flat.  At least they knew the difference between a boy and a girl!  Every generation has its challenges, but this might be the most absurd in history!!  Especially when you consider how many, otherwise seemingly intelligent people, just play along with this absurd game of deceptive, lying, non-scientific insanity!

The old story of the King’s new clothes is being played out before our eyes.  A child could easily tell us who is a girl or a boy unless we allow this brainwashing to infect their first thoughts and we can no longer see reality.

It would be absolutely hilarious except some people have bought into this group delusion.  We would be better off believing in a flat earth than this!!
