Now That’s Diversity

A radical notion indeed:

Chancellor G. P. Peterson of the University of Colorado, Boulder, plans to raise $9 million to endow a visiting chair in conservative thought and policy, on grounds that intellectual diversity is a good thing.

My cynical side says that Peterson is looking for an early retirement, but apparently he’s serious about this.

My favorite part is this:

Though they speak fairly well, conservatives are notoriously weak in diversity-speak and postmodern expression, as if these crucial campus tongues were some sort of impenetrable jargon. As Judith Butler once quipped, inducing a burst of appreciative laughter from her audience, “right-wingers lack libidinal multiplicity and melancholic structure, very likely because they are so sadly saddled by the binary frame and univocal signification.” Indeed, who among us can disagree?

”Binary frame"… yeah, that would be the ability to tell not right from left, but right from wrong.

The whole thing is a hoot. Read, and be prepared to have an outburst of unaccountable mirth.
