Multiculturalism = Mediocrity
“Multiculturalism is the acceptance or promotion of multiple ethnic cultures, for practical reasons and/or for the sake of diversity and applied to the demographic make-up of a specific place, . . . multiculturalists advocate extending equitable status to distinct ethnic and religious groups without promoting any specific ethnic, religious, and/or cultural community values as central:” Wikipedia
All that gobbledegook regarding the multisyllabic, favorite liberal buzzword of multiculturalism can be reduced to a simple declarative sentence: It’s a plan to cultivate mediocrity.
As so many left wing precepts, it all sounds very nice in principle; in practice, it’s a dud that, applied to education, fosters the idea that a Tower of Babel is preferable to towers of learning. In its effort to promote many cultures, it serves to denigrate America’s “central” values.

With that influence so close by and pervasive, perhaps it’s no wonder . . .
