Justice Dept. to Take On Affirmative Action in College Admissions

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is preparing to redirect resources of the Justice Department’s civil rights division toward investigating and suing universities over affirmative action admissions policies deemed to discriminate against white applicants, according to a document obtained by The New York Times.

The document, an internal announcement to the civil rights division, seeks current lawyers interested in working for a new project on “investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions.”

I think I will post something on her yelp page or send her an email...At the time, we were her “record” weight in terms of natural birth ...She’d likely remember our family...wanted us to have another and we said she just wanted to be famous as each of our kids was a pound bigger than the last ;)

Too the leftists have brought our society into some sort of devolution in terms of racism in 2017—I grew up in age of a goal of “colorblindness.”

Glad the Justice dept. is taking this on!

Donald Trump is officially the most Conservative president since Calvin Coolidge.

True story:
About 20 years ago, when my first born was navigating the maze of college admissions, a friend’s daughter was also applying. Both kids had about equal qualifications.

When she filled out her applications, she checked the box *Native American*; her mom told me in the week that followed their mailbox was overflowing with offers for full-ride scholarships. Of course, each offer had to be declined, with an appropriate apology letter.

So much for college admissions wanting to fill their quotas.
Lesson learned.

This story has made it into the mainstream media cycle and will be all the talk tomorrow. The lib/commies will of course cry racism, right on cue.

I predict the DOJ will have as much success with this as they are with turning back sanctuary cities.

Half of Quacks are below average.

But only to their peers, not the general population (hopefully).

I would prefer a physician who is more intelligent and knowledgeable than me.

Skin color should be measured based on the RGB values of one’s foot soles.

Yep. Watching the affirmative action ABC early morning fake news before “Good Morning America”. The black male and white female fake news readers are in a tizzy.

Excellent example, faith. It’s really more harmful than good because of this negative distrust it causes.

It’s wonderful news actually. And Trump/Sessions are now confident that they can push their agenda more strongly as the Russia, Russia, Russia lie is flipping now to DWSchultz, Hillary, and the rest of her criminal gang.
