In my latest National Post column I say the Trinity Western law school ruling shows that we no longer think it's strange to enforce conformity in the name of diversity.
"The most important sort of knowledge is to know which things are worth knowing."
G.K. Chesterton in Sign April 1932, quoted in Gilbert Magazine Vol. 17 #2-3 (Nov.-Dec. .2013)
“Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.”
D.P. Diffiné, “Wal-Mart Open for Business: A 30th Anniversary Salute to Wal-Mart” (1992)
"To grant that there is a supreme intelligence who rules the world and has established laws to regulate the actions of his creatures; and still to assert that man, in a state of nature, may be considered as perfectly free from all restraints of law and government, appears to a common understanding altogether irreconcilable. Good and wise men, in all ages, have embraced a very dissimilar theory. They have supposed that the deity, from the relations we stand in to himself and to each other, has constituted an eternal and immutable law, which is indispensably obligatory upon all mankind, prior to any human institution whatever. This is what is called the law of nature....Upon this law depend the natural rights of mankind."
Alexander Hamilton, "Founders' Quote Daily" November 23, 2005 from Federalist.com.
