[T]he multiculturalist’s real interest is not pedagogy but power, not teaching but advocacy, not the history of the past but the politics of the present, and not qualification for the job but occupational preference for her crowd. The multiculturalist has no desire to improve the teaching of black history. What she wants is to reserve jobs for people who will support her cause. Feminists and homosexuals who endorse multiculturalism have similar motives. They want courses about women and homosexuals to be taught by feminists and homosexuals, not because they want these courses to be taught more objectively and dispassionately, but because they want to enlist more women and homosexuals in their party. Despite a widespread impression to the contrary, multiculturalism is not a plea for less bias in teaching; it is a plea for a different, more pronounced, and more doctrinaire bias. Professors are to be made into ministers of propaganda; instruction is to become indoctrination.
