1124: Michael Rectenwald – Real Diversity in Higher Education

W1124: Michael Rectenwald - Real Diversity
If we want to foster real diversity in higher education, we had better consider not only diversity of identity but also diversity of thought and perspective. It is this kind of diversity that we are supposed to recognize and foster in the first place. —Michael Rectenwald (Springtime for Snowflakes)

1108: John Stuart Mill – Dare to be Different

F1108: John Stuart Mill - Dare to be Different
The mere example of nonconformity, the mere refusal to bend the knee to custom, is itself a service. Precisely because the tyranny of opinion is such as to make eccentricity a reproach. It is desirable, in order to break through that tyranny, that people should be eccentric. Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigour, and moral courage which it contained. —John Stuart Mill

1057: Jacob Hornberger – Statists and Their Beliefs

W1057: Jacob Hornberger - Statists and Their Beliefs
The cult of the omnipotent state has millions of followers in the United States. Americans of today view their government in the same way as Christians view their God; they worship and adore the state and they render their lives and fortunes to it. Statists believe that their lives—their very being—are a privilege that the state has given to them. They believe that everything they do is, and should be, dependent on the consent of the government. —Jacob Hornberger
