    Should a pilot know how to operate a jet before being able to fly it?

    Should a nuclear plant employee know how to operate equipment at a plant properly?

    Should physicians have a complete grasp of the language spoken in the country they're in in order to communicate effectively and comprehend their patients? Quite simply, it sounds like an absurd question, period.

    Maybe "diversity" and "political correctness" really are more important as concepts than human life. At least it seems to be for some.
