Most likely Putman is simply - and understandably - afraid for his career. Tenure - which in principle protects an academic thinking about the unthinkable aloud or in print - would not keep Putman’s working life from descending into hell.

Blind reviews could and should pull sloppy research apart before it ever gets published in anything serious, but why would Putman feel a need to somehow atone for his findings?

Amen on the comments about the religion of the cultural left: “Diversity” may or may not be a good thing in itself, but it is pretty clear - at least in higher education - that textbook writers and educators can’t go wrong praising it as part of the assumed feel-good, anti-western, secular belief set; on the other hand, you could get in no end of trouble questioning it, “critical thinking” be damned.

How pervasive is the preaching?

Here are some “Reflections on Race and Ethnicity” from an English as a Second Language textbook aimed at community college students:

“Have you ever been subject to repression? Explain the situation or tell a story.”

“What questions do Americans sometimes ask immigrants that may indicate some attempt to subjugate the immigrants?”

“Have you been questioned in ways that you thought were supposed to make you feel inferior?”

You HAVE been repressed, haven’t you? Not much reflection would be generated by the answer, “No, I have not had that experience”, or “Maybe…but it’s worth it”, or “What I went through in ____(choose a country) was much, much worse.

Funny thing is, if you teach a child to be a good human being they are naturally good towards others. There is no need for pushing diversity. It’s as simple as asking why football players gravitate to other football lovers, become of a commonality. IT does not follow that they will be cruel or distasteful to non football players. Unfortunately, in our “coodled” Nation we’ve been brainwashed into believing that harmonious relations between the differents can only be had through a strange ism called multiculturalism.
