A white male student has sued six Texas medical schools that rejected him for admissions but allegedly admitted other students — namely students of color and women — who had lower MCAT scores.

The class-action lawsuit was filed Jan. 10 by the America First Legal Foundation’s Center for Legal Equality.

People are starting to fight back against the "woke" D.I.E. agenda. It's the only way to stop them from destroying every institution in our nation.

Women are not minorities.

It is all about meeting expected distributions by race, sex, and sexual preferences. Merit is secondary.

I would never go to a Dr. who benefitted from affirmative action or DIE admission policies.

The military academies do it all the time.

The problem here is, "How would you know?"

Credential inflation sux big time.

The Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education recently opened an investigation into five programs named in a Title IX complaint alleging Stanford University discriminated against men.

I was just pointing out that conservative media paints all affirmative action as a benefit to minorities. It’s not true. Most affirmative action benefits white women who generally aren’t in the highest percentiles of scholastic tests.

Unfortunately, you may not have a choice in the near future...

GOOD

[Tell It Right]

I hate calling women "minorities" anyway regardless of expectations and such.

The bottom line is that our country has more women than men. By definition, men are the minorities.

Good for him!

Not sure if that will be determined to be a "quota" system for acceptance. AA is OK, but "quotas" are not according to the SCOTUS judicial tap dance in the Bakke case of 1978

[Varda]

I agree. I think this trope of AA being a minority benefit obscures the real problem. We are sacrificing our best and brightest who are a minority.
I'm old enough to remember the days when academic departments discriminated against minorities and women. It wasn't good then and the new discrimination isn't good now.

Giving priority is illegal, wrong and unconstitutional. Any law that “permits” it is invalid and not binding.

[Hambone 1934]

Truth...Only white men and Asians are smart...Minorities and women are morons and unable to compete against smart people......

[CodeJockey]

I would never go to a Dr. who benefitted from affirmative action or DIE admission policies.

Or fly on a plane piloted by one. But the question is how would we know?

[Varda]

I take it you are unaware of what the word “generally” means.

[wildbill]

I have a dream of a return to a time when doctors were educated based on their brains instead of the color of their skins.

I guess I am out of the mainstream, eh?

“The problem here is, “How would you know?””

Well, there’s always the Archie Bunker approach: pick the doctor or lawyer with the “Jewish” surname and make sure it’s not a pretender Whoppi Goldberg.
