In contrast, civility, a component of character education, is a social virtue that fosters respect for<br />

others but preserves young people's ability to separate tolerance of a person from approval of his or<br />

her beliefs or conduct.<br />

The "Diversity" Deception<br />

Diversity is a term that deserves greater scrutiny because it is so central to the larger homosexual<br />

strategy.<br />

Diversity is really a code word for the doctrine of multi-culturalism. While we have characterized<br />

this doctrine as segregationist, its proponents would probably say that multi-culturalism is an<br />

approach to promoting social harmony and equality by honoring the unique qualities and contributions<br />

of diverse cultural groups in a pluralistic society.<br />

As with many "liberal" concepts, "multi-culturalism" is long on good intentions and short on results.<br />

Importantly, the definition of culture in this system is very ambiguous, which has allowed homosexuals<br />

to claim membership (and equality) in the "diversity of cultures." Consequently, "gays" are<br />

among the foremost advocates of multiculturalism in America.<br />

While ostensibly helpful as a tool to promote racial and religious tolerance, the premise of multiculturalism<br />

fails because it applies egalitarian principles to diverse cultural behaviors. It cannot help but<br />

fail because, while all races and religious beliefs are equal, all behaviors are not.<br />

The result of the multiculturalists' illogic is an unworkable moral relativism in which Nazis and<br />

Stalinists deserve equality with other groups. Any attempt to "fix" this problem requires the<br />

imposition of standards for judging conduct, a requirement which in and of itself refutes the notion<br />

of cultural equality.<br />

To preserve multiculturalism as a doctrine, therefore, advocates must hide its logical inconsistencies.<br />

They do so by employing shallow, emotion-laden rhetoric and by attacking their opponents as racists,<br />

bigots or the like. This is clearly the same strategy being employed in the "Safe Schools" program.<br />

"Diversity" is a cornerstone of the homosexuals' campaign for schools precisely because it allows<br />

them to obscure the lines between status and conduct. (In contrast, the civility approach mentioned<br />

above tends to illuminate these lines).<br />

We see this dynamic at work in the way that the "Safe Schools" program addresses "sexual orientation."<br />

The term "sexual orientation" is generally perceived by the public as describing a state of mind,<br />

that of being "oriented" sexually toward a person of the same gender.<br />

This is very significant since a person's state of mind (his or her thoughts and beliefs) rightfully enjoys<br />

the very highest level of protection in our society. Naturally, there is significant public sympathy for<br />
