Conservative students demand diversity seats

Conservative students at Amherst and Tufts are taking on the hypocrisy of the campus diversity crusade by adopting its rhetoric. Both schools reserve special "diversity" seats on the student senate to ensure that a certain number of minorities will always be present in student government. And at both schools, conservative students are arguing that as members of under-represented groups, they should be allocated "diversity" seats of their own. Their point? True diversity is not ethnic diversity, but diversity of thought.
