Diversity Doesn't Make Knowledge- Personal Drive Does

     Apparently, a museum in Chicago decided to fire its longtime staff because they felt the need to be more 'diverse.'

    Stop and think about that for a second...

    The main argument for crticial race theory is the fact that people, children especially, 'need to learn the real history.  People, let me give you a little bit of a clue about museums.  Museums are a part of history, a painting, a statue, an archeological relic gives you an idea of the other age.  A well-rounded, well-trained staff is an asset which will make a museum more interesting and appealing to those looking for an interesting way to spend their afternoon.  So, what does that mean for the museum in Chicago?

       Well, it's funny in a sense, because I've been to a lot of museums and call me a bunch of r-names but many times the largest crowds in museums are white.  Does that mean other races don't go?  Of course not but again- I've been to a lot of museums and what I'm reporting is observations.  I've also seen tour guides of many color and all seemed knowledgable and interesting.  Now, when you take away a longtime staff away from an institution just because of their skin color here's what it does-

    You don't create interest- you make indifference.  Color doesn't replace knowledge or storytelling and that's exactly what makes a good museum guide.  That Chicago museum staff that was fired were also teachers in a sense and their knowledge gave a lot of people a chance to open up their minds more to the art world.  A new staff, logically, won't be as knowledgable and will depend more on say Wikipedia instead of book knowledge to do their job.  With all of that being said-

    We've been hearing for a couple of years that critical race theory is about teaching 'real history.'  My question to all of you who are 'woke' is this- how can you teach real history when you take away those who knew the most?  Color doesn't make knowledge people- knowledge makes knowledge, no matter what color you are.
