Wither the dream?

At the City Journal, Heather Mac Donald has an excellent piece on how the state of California is keeping it multicultural programs alive at the expense of true academics. Since the 1960s public universities has begun abandoning true education for radical political indoctrination.

I cannot help but contrast multiculturalism's ugly assault on the human spirit with these timeless words from 1963:



In today's society, our self-anointed moral and intellectual betters would declare such a speech "racist". Being judged by the content of our character instead of the color of our skin is too much for them. Greedy for political power, convinced of their own infallibility, and willing to do anything to see their mad vision come true, multiculturalists are destroying the heart and soul of the education system.

It is in this predatory environment that my son will be educated in. Because he was born of a black African mother and a white American father, he will be pressured to choose sides thanks to the divide-and-conquer approach taken by multiculturalists. And because multiculturalists have gone largely unchallenged for so long I fear it is unlikely they will be toppled from their positions of privilege without a huge struggle. Above all else, the princes of this world lust for power.

If you have never prayed for students and teachers before, now would be an excellent time.
