“I was an unmitigated
nuisance … by that time I was nearing the end of my schooldays, which I look
back on as the most completely wasted and mischievous part of my life.” –
George Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in
1925
In this generation, perhaps
there's nothing more troubling than the befuddled
thinking of young progressives. Unfortunately, examples are everywhere. In “Calexit”
California, the state university in Los Angles embraces segregated,
black-only housing. Not to be outdone, in lily-white Pennsylvania,
Elizabethtown College's Democrats wear a 21st century version of the
Scarlet
Letter: plain white puzzle pieces publicly proclaiming their imaginary genetic
solidarity with 19th century slaveholders.
Now, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the left's political fun house
finds expression in clown
car antics there. These snowflakes demand free
tuition for all black
students due to their wrongheaded claim of “systemic racism”. So, are the
rational to believe that prejudice is magically solved by promoting new race-based
discrimination?
In America of 2017, the
belief in deep-seeded societal bigotry is utter hogwash! Why do these
millennials pretend to live in an antebellum time
warp? Recall, slavery ended with Abraham
Lincoln in 1865: 152 years ago! It's idiotic to ignore the reality that our
culture has radically
evolved for the better since then. Today, the celebration of
diversity—and tolerance of differences—is widespread.
Specifically, this modern
trend was seeded by the
1960s Civil Rights Movement. Indeed, the effects of those policies have
germinated in our society for over 50 years. Don't the clear
results of those strides count for anything? Apparently not to these
collegians with their petulant demands and polarizing behavior.
