I don’t know that Hillsdale is racist. What I do know is that I do not share the enthusiasm for modeling Rice after school that is probably > 95% white not to mention the presumed lack of diversity of thought. No thank you.

Probably? Making some assumptions there? As the headlines about Trump so often say, making a claim without evidence.

Isn't what you claim I do?

As for diversity of thought, (presumed of course)when did thought become synonymous with race? I attended Rice during the segregated years. I was roomies with a monarchist and knew a Druid. I knew an English Lord and kids from France, Norway, and Panama, not to mention every state.

I thought the diversity(of thought) was pretty remarkable.

No, I am just astounded that a school founded on the principle of being color blind is being attacked as racist. I guess they are sexist as well, since they don't take that into account either.
