If it was up to me, there would be two plaques:


NASM could carry this even further by issuing three different
explanatory brochures. They could be stacked in three piles,
identified as:

Peaceniks

Veterans

Technology Buffs

This would be keep with the general fragmentation of American society.
I went to the multi-media room (even that name tells you something!)
the other week and was struck by the university-issued sign on the
librarian's desk:

BUILD COMMUNITY - CELEBRATE DIVERSITY

as if it weren't precisely the emphasis on diversity that was
fracturing the community!

Here at UMass, there are actual administration positions that
deal with enhancing "diversity". Pay is pretty good from what
I've read!

Although I have no problems with trying to get greater "variety"
of ethnicities, religion, and points of view on a college campus,
I've come to the conclusion "diversity" is really nothing more
than a "code word" meaning [political] liberal point of view.
