Opinion
Diversity covers a broader range than what was presented in article
LETTER — Posted Jan. 16, 2006
Regarding "Diversity in practice" (Article, Dec. 5, 2005): This article seems to define diversity as confined to race, ethnicity, nationality, sex and language. Don't stop here though, as there are many other forms of diversity such as age, physical abilities/disabilities or being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, to name a few. Recognizing, including, appreciating and celebrating our differences will enrich us all.
