The Justice Department was attacked as racist due to a false New York Times story claiming the DOJ was working to protect white students from discrimination.

The Daily Caller first reported that a DOJ source said this Times article “appears to assume it deals with white students without evidence.” DOJ spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores later put out a statement confirming this.

The posting sought volunteers to investigate one administrative complaint filed by a coalition of 64 Asian-American associations in May 2015 that the prior Administration left unresolved,” Flores wrote. “The complaint alleges racial discrimination against Asian Americans in a university’s admissions policy and practices.”

We can look at numerous college campuses and see the results of Affirmative Action admissions. One can scarcely imagine a less intelligent mob as they shout down speakers, resort to violence because they can’t argue using logic, and generally behaving like thugs. Who would want to employ these misfits?
