That isn't what santorum meant by "intellectual diversity". If you look at the context of his statement, he was talking about university faculty. He also wasn't talking intelligence either. He was talking about the lockstep, party line thinking of academia. Although there is some leeway in what is acceptable for faculty to openly believe, there are some things you must never be let known that you believe, let alone teach to your students. This is the opposite of diversity. This is intellectual totalitarianism. This forum is a perfect example of it. There are a set of beliefs that are acceptable here. If you openly suggest that reality may swerve in the slightest from the acceptable beliefs here, you are mocked, ridiculed, and your reputation level kept in the basement.
Academia and this forum are little fascistic, totalitarian groups. The only diversity alllowed here is skin color, and sexual persuasion.
