Diversity Works 557 books / 823 members / 8649 posts "The most ignorant and hurtful idea of all, of course, is that the entire topic of race and genes and intelligence is off-limits to all right-thinking, compassionate people, just on principle. What's wrong with this, you idiot, is that it's premised on the assupmtion that some races are innately and immutably much less intelligent than others--which, I hate to break it to you, is demonstrably false."
Bruno Maddox in his essay Blinded by Science in Discover magazine, March, 2008




Diversity Works is a where we acknowledge our differences, celebrate our commonalities, and make an honest effort to navigate between the two. We hope the setting here feels safe enough for you to examine, consider, and challenge ideas and thoughts expressed here. It's not about being right, but being heard.

Tell us what you think.
