Ten Reasons Why Affirmative Action Died - By Victor Davis Hanson

Ten Reasons Why Affirmative Action Died - By Victor Davis Hanson
  • The end of affirmative action was inevitable. 
  • The only surprise was that such intentions gone terribly wrong lasted so long.
"First, supporters of racial preferences always pushed back the goal posts for the program’s success. 
Was institutionalized reverse bias to last 20 years, 60 years, or ad infinitum? 
Parity became defined as an absolute equality of result.
If “equity” was not obtained, then only institutionalized “racism” explained disparities. 
  • And only reverse racism was deemed the cure.

New Republic acknowledges the media is biased, but that's where things go wonky

New Republic acknowledges the media is biased, but that's where things go wonky - TOM KNIGHTON
  • New Republic is a very leftist publication. They’ve published some, well, silly crap over the years. It’s kind of what they do...
From Hot Air:
Did you know that conservatives set the cultural standards of our society, and that is the reason why the media is so unfair to Democrats?
I didn’t, but after reading this brilliant and convincing article by Michael Tomasky of The New Republic, I am convinced. 
Despite being nearly perfect in every way, the media obsesses over every little foible of Democrats and holds them to a much higher standard than Republicans.
Who knew?


AM Fruitcake--Great advice!
