Diversity and tolerance can be divisive

During a conversation on Facebook the following statement was made in a discussion about drag queens, such as the freakish appearance of someone by the name of Billy Porter on the children's show Sesame Street.

 Exposing to diversity is always a good thing. This can start some good dialogue for kids.

Here is my response to the above statement to the person who made this comment.

No, sir. Diversity is NOT always a good thing.

In fact, if so-called diversity exposes children to gender confused (mentally disturbed), freakish drag queens, transvestites, pedophiles, child molesters, aberrant sexual educators, racists (black or white) or radical Muslims as some children are being exposed to, it is wrong, it is harmful, it is evil.  

Diversity can be divisive, it divides. 

Children should be exposed to and encouraged to assimilate into the American culture. The things that unite us should be emphasized. The opposite is happening in our failing public schools due the radicalized teacher unions and "enlightened" elitist led education associations.

Having a proper understanding and appreciation of one's own culture is first and foremost. Secondarily an understanding and appreciation of other cultures and people groups is also worthwhile as long as is not used to indoctrinate or propagandize certain behaviors or philosophies antithetical to ones own culture.
