To: Mr. Jenkins
What did I say that was so wrong in that piece?

Apart from the first sentence, I would take issue with everything in the piece! Where do I begin?

. . . antiwar movement during World War II that allied itself with Hitler . . .

The antiwar movement during World War II was championed by the Isolationists. Those who allied themselves with Hilter were the Nazis and the Socialists. Since when has the "anti-war" position been a conservative one? . . .

. . .and they have the nerve to use King as a symbol in abolishing the affirmative action he fought for.

Dr. King wanted people to be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Affirmative Action seeks to judge people by the color of their skin and disregard the content of their character. Affirmative Action is hardly a construct of conservatism . . .
