I posted something from this writer earlier, went and Googled him, and found this. Again, as the mother of a son, this just makes me smokin' mad. Fair is fair, and this isn't; the University hung itself with its own statistics. Where's the ACLU when you need them?!

Because it was never about attaining racial parity, it was all about a racial spoils system and a "get even" mentality.

This is verified now that the tables have turned there is much less "scrutiny" in areas where men are getting the short stick.

It never was, nor is, about fairness.

They ought to do other gender-based studies on women docs. They work fewer hours, stay out of medicine when children are small, avoid some of the "rough" surgical specialties...

When you admit more women, you get fewer doctors. (Or, what I might call "doctor-hours")

AS a female physician who graduated in 1985 I say no to affirmative action based on race, gender or anything else. You earn your way just like everyone else. I did and so should everyone else.

It just shows that the notion that medical schools take all qualified applicants is a bunch of BS. I don't think that the population of qualified applicants is biased gender-wise like that.

The bigger issue is the war on white males goes on. Fools, idiots, unable to be educated, weak, indecisive, vascilating, imbicles.

And since this movement began 25 years ago, is the country better? Are families stronger, relationships more permanent, oooooooorrrrrr, have problems associated with weak males become more pronounced, more critical and more destructive?

Marginalizing white males could be argued to have been the most serious mistake of the latter part of the 20th century. Radical females and their allies have gotten just what they wanted and now move forward.

The outlook is not good so long as the present tempo continues.

Oh cmon everybody! The standards for med school were dumbed down in the very early '70's to result in more women getting in. Not that women weren't getting in, just not in the numbers that the dabblers thought should obtain.

This is never going to change. It's done. Over. Fini. Kaput.

We are allowing ourselves to be destroyed from within by not taking control of our education system and utterly dismantling the 40 years of social engineering that's been going on there, across the entire country...
