NOTRE DAME, the formerly Catholic university, is under pressure by religious fanatics.

A group of activists so militantly adores the chimera of racial equality, making of non-whites idols instead of human beings, that it wants half of the books in the curriculum to be chosen by purely racial criteria, excluding white authorship.

End Hate at ND (clever name!) states: “Cultural competence is key in building empathy for marginalized folks. No course or program of study should have a view limited to white, western, and/or male voices. We demand that people who are of Color, Indigenous, Black, queer or not male are represented in the authorship of at least half course and major required readings.”

Can you imagine what it’s like in your budding youth, your mind aflame for knowledge, to come across the strident and deadeningly dull imperatives of people who judge the merit of a thinker primarily by the race (or sexual anomalies) he represents? I think it would be much, much better to work in a convenience store.

James Murphy has more about these haters-of-hatred at New American.

It’s not surprising to see this fanaticism at Notre Dame. When Catholic worship became man-centered, a fixation on non-Western man was bound to follow. For human beings naturally crave a God that possesses otherness. Lawrence Auster makes this fascinating point in his book, Our Borders, Ourselves: American in the Age of Multiculturalism.
