Yale's New Age Diversity
So, everyone now knows about Seyed Rahmatullah Hashemi, who's government, the Taliban regime, brought the world into a chaotic struggle for a war against terror on September 11, 2001.
Not only did his government harbor those who helped bring down the WTC towers, they also were a major cause of the rise of terms like "the axis-of-evil" in George W. Bush's words, which pointed to Iraq, Iran, and North Korea as the enemies of this war on terror.
All the writers and scholars discuss the war-on-terror in vivid terms, using images of Americans being attacked on home turf by turban wearing mullahs and fascist murderers raping, pillaging, and slowly destroying democracy and the west.
However, this hasn't yet happened. What has happened is that Yale, the Ivy League university that ranks in the highest levels of academic achievement in the world, accepted the ambassador of the Taliban Regime in Afghanistan to its school.
I guess this is diversity,this is the equal rights of all men. But I think there's something missing here. Now, I can imagine a thousand and one missing pieces here, for instance, why they will accept someone like this devil's advocate.
Here's some links
The Wall Street Journal
If you read the Wall Street Journal, this is an opinion that goes into detail about the case and Yale's own words; after Harvard accepted soemoen of the same caliber as Hezbollah (ooops! I meant, Rahmatullah) Yale decided that they would not "make the same mistake again" and hired this mutant of a genius instead.
