DIVERSITY

Democrats are always crying about needing more “diversity”. They insist on quotas and extra consideration when getting into law schools based on race, etc. All of this is defended by saying a diverse group is better then a homogeneous one and more fair, too.

That is except when it comes to conservatives at PBS, then diversity is bad.

Two liberal Democrats, John Dingell and David Obey, want an investigation into the misnamed Corporation of Public Broadcasting’s Chairman Kenneth Tomlinson’s desire to add more conservatives to the PBS line up. This from Matt Drudge:

“In a letter released Wednesday evening, Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., and Rep. John D. Dingell, D-Mich., asked CPB Inspector General Kenneth A. Konz to investigate the contracting, hiring and policies of the corporation, which distributes federal funds to public television stations. Both congressmen are ranking Democrats on committees that have oversight of public television.

They called recent actions taken by CPB Chairman Kenneth Tomlinson ``disturbing'' and ``extremely troubling.''
