Diversity: Shut up you like it

What do three birds have to do with a liberal arts education? What don’t they. These three different types of birds have gathered and are eating, cleaning, and just hanging out.

This is critical. (I borrowed this picture from nimitimin on flickr.com)

You have to try it to decide you don’t like it.
