Remember, this is the SAME Dennis Prager who once wrote a despicable column in which he imagined himself becoming the principal of a fairly diverse high school and giving a speech announcing that, henceforth, students would be forbidden to have ethnic heritage clubs or do anything to show pride in their culture and history, and would also ban Gay-Straight alliance groups-the organizations which are the only groups which give students any sense of dignity and connection-a step which would basically strip all students who aren't smug white Protestants of any identity at all, as any validity and legitimacy at all, reducing everyone to nothing at all but a disconnected, totally isolated individual forced to see life as that each of them against the world. Basically, if you went to a high school like that and you weren't a white Christian, you'd have no reason to live.
