In Seattle, it appears to be the case.  All of the emphasis on diversity seems to hinge on racial integration.  The problem is that true diversity is so much more then just race.  I’ll get back to that in a moment.

The story in Seattle was about the use of race as a tie breaker in the open admissions policy.  When a number of students all wanted to attend a particular school, and there were too many equally qualified applicants, their race was used to determine those admitted, with he goal being to balance the school to a racially diverse population.

Seattle Schools has a long history of this absurd obsession with racial diversity.  See these posts:

• Political Correctness, White Privilege and Racist Furniture
• Seattle racism in the name of racial diversity is still racism
• Prayer in School ok in Seattle, as long as it’s Muslim?

Why absurd?  Consider this report that indicates the futility of these programs.
