Diverse Chaplains Fired

The [good] NCR:

**Diverse Chaplains Fired

**Sometimes religious types try to broaden their views in order to be loved and respected by nonbelievers.
Don’t try this. You only give them more reason to disregard you.
Take what happened to Smith College’s chaplains: Their nondogmatic and pro-diversity stance was so persuasive, the school fired them in the name of nondogmatism and diversity.

Smith once employed chaplains who serve Catholics, Protestants and Jews, reports The Weekly Standard. No more.
“Our student body has become increasingly diverse in every way, including religiously, and we belive students would be better served by moving away from the emphasis on these three faith groups and moving toward broader support for the full range of religious belief and practice on campus.”

These chaplains were already doing the diversity thing, “supporting groups from the Radical Catholic Feminists of Smith to the Hillel Foundation to the Association of Smith Pagans and Al Iman.”
But now, what about the rest of the school’s many chaplains? smith.edu/religiouslife/People/people.htm

Maybe I’m missing something, but it doesn’t look like anyone’s been fired. There are still Jewish, Catholic and Protestant chaplains on the page that was linked to. And the NCR article doesn’t link back to the original Weekly Standard article. I don’t understand the point they’re trying to make.
