INTELLECTUAL DIVERSITY….I’m getting pretty tired of incessant snarky comments from conservatives about the lack of “intellectual diversity” on university campuses:

Here’s more on the flap over Duke’s diversity problem. “What?s clear is that the present administration has pledged a commitment to racial, gender, and intellectual diversity, but actual resources are only dedicated toward the first two components.”

Duke ? and other institutions ? devote resources to the first two because America has a long and often ugly history of discrimination against ethnic minorities and women. America decidedly does not have a long and ugly history of discrimination against conservatives.

Really, is that so hard to understand?
