Affirmative action does not belong in medicine or aviation.
I could probably think of a few more places it doesn’t belong, but that would interfere with my reactionary posting.
Probably at least 40 years ago now, my OB/GYN (an unreconstructed medico of the old school) was telling me about teaching a course at Emory Medical School.
The school tried to pressure him to pass certain students. Being the crusty old character that he was, he said, "Hell, no! They'll be out there killing somebody!"
They should have listened to him!
