They hate Scalia almost as much as they hate Trump. He was simply musing about whether or not the affirmative action Black students might do better at a small college than at, say, the huge and highly competitive University of Texas.
But that kind of talk is forbidden, of course.
The Scalia comment about “some say” that allowing Blacks into exclusive schools where they may not be equipped to keep up, but just allowing them to go into less-than-elite schools where they could excel and ultimately graduate, is no doubt from several discussions held between Blacks intellectuals economist Thomas Sowell and Professor Walter Williams, a couple of which occurred when Williams would guest host Rush’s EIB show, and Sowell would call in. They actually cited stats, and possibly a book by one of them, about practically forcing under-qualified Blacks into Berkeley instead of allowing them to matriculate through, say, UC-Irvine where they would be honor students. At Berkeley many of these kids flunk out, drop out or if they do graduate their grades are average and graduate or professional schools are not receptive. Perfectly plausible discussions at the time. But Scalia queries about it in a case before the Court on affirmative action, and he is pilloried for being racist, bigoted etc. Media never supplies any context or honesty. Just gotcha, gotcha, gotcha!
