I agree. Not only is it not the proper function of government, it is probably unconstitutional and totally illegal. Hopefully, these abuses of government and the liberties they take with citizens will eventually be righted. I fear, though, that it will be long in coming and blood will be spilled in the process of that righting.
When you consider that ACORN will be first in line, and other liberal fellow-travelers will be right after then, to be chosen to serve on these boards. I would oppose them, even if a small number of them favored conservative programing. That's NOT the proper function of governments in the US.
The whole push will be for "diversity." But the operative definition of someone who adds "diversity" is, quite simply, "anyone who can be relied on to promote the Democratic Party."Promotion of "diversity" is discrimination against white (pink, as Thomas Sowell would say) men (is it even legal to use the word "man" any more?) for the purpose of discriminating against Republicans. This is possible because, and only because, journalism promotes itself (and politicians who align with journalism) by criticizing and second guessing anyone who takes responsibility for getting things done. IOW, Republicans - everyone else is a victim.
