The Diversity DelusionHow Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University andUndermine Our Cultureby Heather Mac Donald

By the New York Times bestselling author: a provocative account of theattack on the humanities, the rise of intolerance, and the erosion ofserious learning

America is in crisis, from the university to the workplace. Toxic ideas firstspread by higher education have undermined humanistic values, fueledintolerance, and widened divisions in our larger culture. Chaucer,Shakespeare and Milton? Oppressive. American history? Tyranny. Professorscorrecting grammar and spelling, or employers hiring by merit? Racist andsexist. Students emerge into the working world believing that human beingsare defined by their skin color, gender, and sexual preference, and thatoppression based on these characteristics is the American experience.Speech that challenges these campus orthodoxies is silenced with bruteforce.The Diversity Delusion argues that the root of this problem is the belief inAmerica's endemic racism and sexism, a belief that has engendered ametastasizing diversity bureaucracy in society and academia. Diversitycommissars denounce meritocratic standards as discriminatory, enforce hiringquotas, and teach students and adults alike to think of themselves asperpetual victims. From #MeToo mania that blurs flirtations with criminal acts,to implicit bias and diversity compliance training that sees racism ineveryinteraction, Heather Mac Donald argues that we are creating a nation ofnarrowed minds, primed for grievance, and that we are putting our competitiveedge at risk.But there is hope in the works of authors, composers, and artists who havelong inspired the best in us. Compiling the author's decades of research andwriting on the subject, The Diversity Delusion calls for a return to the classicalliberal pursuits (...)

A visit from an angel blares out the wisdom of"follow your passion" in "A Passage for Trumpet." The meaning of "divided wefall" is driven home with dramatic results when neighbors suspect neighbors ofbeing invading aliens in "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street." The oldmaxim about never judging a book by its cover is given a tasty twist when analien tome is translated in "To Serve Man.
