    True Diversity Is Viewpoint Diversity, and It Allows All of Us to Show Up

    Diversity today is based on sex and skin color rather than opinion and idea.

    True Diversity Is Viewpoint Diversity, and It Allows All of Us to Show Up

    ...On paper, I might fit a gender and race diversity goal that some are seeking to emphasize, but in reality, I don’t fit neatly into anyone’s boxes.

    I’m a former subject of the British monarchy and have been a proud naturalized U.S. citizen since I was a teenager. I am also a wife of six years, a mother of three boys, and a Christian who attends a nondenominational church each week. I was elected the Republican committeewoman for my ward in Boston several years ago. I am now a dot of red in my very blue Maryland county. Those identities hardly scratch the surface of who I am.

    Each person brings a kaleidoscope of experiences and characteristics that inform who they are, what they believe and value, and how they live their life. We are all unique individuals, and there is so much more to us than what can be seen on the outside or defined by the demographic boxes of gender and race that we so often fill out on forms for work, school, or government agencies.

    One would expect that any effort to promote diversity would take this complexity into consideration.

    Yet, so many diversity, equity, and inclusion—also known as DEI—efforts in corporate, nonprofit, and government settings today tend to prioritize gender and race in a way that leaves no room for the other facets individuals bring to the table....

    Diversity of ideas is forbidden in liberal land. Group think is all that is allowed.

    That is what we see happening in the 'Safe Space' environment of the progressive colleges and is also being mainstreamed into the culture just like PC, CRT, White Privilege (meaning conservative Whitey keep your privileged mouth shut), ect....

    Way I've always looked at it is natural diversity (pluralism) is fine, even necessary, but forced diversity always devastating.
