My Tuesday lecture at Portland State took place, amidst a lot of shouting, in something called the "Multicultural Center." In case anyone forgets what room they are in, the Multicultural Center is adorned with dozens of national flags, including the Iranian flag, and they all stand equal. Well, okay, there are a few flags hung a little higher than the Stars and Stripes, but it is the Multicultural Center, after all, and I'm sure--really I am--that it's just an oversight. In case anyone forgets what multiculturalism is, the Multicultural Center features giant cult-of-personality posters of Black Panthers Kathleen Cleaver and Bobby Seale. A wall-length mural dominates the front of the room and features the likenesses of cop-killers Mumia Abu-Jamal and Leonard Peltier, amidst a number of leftist slogans. If multiculturalism is about embracing other cultures, Portland State's Multicultural Center is a non sequitur. Judging from the figures lionized by the center, one might deduce that multiculturalism is about Americans, violence, or radicalism. Apart from the flag cliche, one would never guess it had anything to do with foreign cultures. And it doesn't.

How much do you want to bet the perpetrator of this obscenity would be a frequent visitor to the Multicultural Center?

How many of the womyn who work at the "Multicultural Center" look like Lenny Kravitz? The only diversity in todays universities are found in the locker rooms-on the men's and women's sports teams. And the administrations at most colleges are at war with men's athletics, because athletics are generally judged on merit and achievment.
