Kurt Vonnegut: A Leftist Dissent on "Multiculturalism"
Like Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut is a good old fashioned leftist who grew to political maturity before the rise of political correctness. I may not agree with him on all issues but I would like to have someone like him in my corner if we have to fight another attempt by the administration of the University of Alabama to impose mandatory diversity training on faculty:
"My personal fear is that liberalism as a political philosophy is dead-- even the champions of multiculturalism want a heavily-censored, semantically-correct version. We think within strictures; we speak between lines. More importantly, we cannot imagine anything else."
