Supreme Court can acknowledge affirmative action as reverse discrimination WashTimesOpEd
It’s been a messy experiment in human spiritual growth, punctuated by war, protest and upheaval. With the rise of the welfare state and the introduction of affirmative action, we moved from a nation that ended racial segregation to one with distinct programs and preferences that again set Blacks and other minorities apart from the rest of America.The forthcoming Supreme Court decision in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill case could put us back on track to a more colorblind society.
After the success of the Civil Rights Movement, what started as a way to ensure that employers and other institutions recognized the importance of diversity has become warped into a form of legalized prejudice. No one can answer any of these questions. That’s why affirmative action and its progeny are inherently discriminatory and violate both the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment.
By any objective measure, more than 50 years of welfare policy have failed to help generate markedly better outcomes for Blacks and other minorities. Public education has failed them as well.
