Liberal pundits typically scold us with contrived tales of the benefits of multiculturalism, which was imposed upon the American public without their consent. Nevertheless, many superficial and anecdotal stories have been supporting the concept since the 1960's..
The story of the Muslim boy who built a crude clock that was legitimately considered to be a possible bomb has all the elements that argue against multiculturalism.
1. The principal has been derided as a racist, but he has to protect the students..
2. The police are accused of racial profiling, but a "clock" with wires coming out of it attached to a circuit board looks suspicious, regardless of who presents it.
3. Another teacher told him he was impressed but not to show it to anyone. The student did it anyway, against appropriate advice.
4. The people being accused of racism might not really be racists, but now everyone is using the incident to prove their own parochial and race based points, dividing the country into sides, and not uniting or strengthening us in any way.
