The Left's Opposition to Diversity

Diversity is a three legged stool comprising of race, culture, and ideas. Each of these legs has correlation with the others, but they are distinct attributes of diversity. The Left has historically waged war against the diversity of ideas. They vigorously oppose state autonomy of public policy as though the Tenth Amendment has no relevance. Diversity of ideas leads to diversity of values. Diversity of values leads to a diversity of governance. In America, we have fifty states for that reason. Embracing diversity means embracing the idea of eliminating a number of large federal agencies, administering entitlements at the local level far out of reach of federal powers, and sending far more tax dollars to local governments rather than federal. The Left's hostility to this reveals what they truly are with respect to diversity: a fraud.
