Unity Uniformity

More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

Democracy cannot survive where there is such uniformity that everyone wears exactly the same intellectual uniform or point of view. democracy implies diversity of outlook, a variety of points of view on politics, economics, and world affairs. hence the educational ideal is not uniformity but unity, for unity allows diversity of points of view regarding the good means to a good end.
Educational Mean Views
...regrettable as it may seem to the idealist, the experience of history provides little warrant for the belief that real progress, and the freedom that makes progress possible, lies in unification. for where unification has been able to establish unity of ideas it has usually ended in uniformity, paralysing the growth of new ideas. and where the unification has merely brought about an artificial or imposed unity, its irksomeness has led through discord to disruption.

House Public Opinion Body
Subject opinion to coercion: whom will you make your inquisitors? fallible men; men governed by bad passions, by private as well as public reasons. and why subject it to coercion? to produce uniformity. but is uniformity of opinion desirable? no more than of face and stature.
