Quotas on trial (Thomas Sowell)

Washington Times ^ | 1/10/03 | Thomas Sowell

[kattracks]

Now that the Supreme Court has agreed to rule on affirmative action in college and university admissions, will this issue be settled at long last or will the justices come up with some murky compromise, like the Bakke decision of 25 years ago, which has led to a quarter of a century of confusion, hypocrisy, resentments and polarization?

[TLBSHOW]

Affirmative action has a track record of polarization in many countries, including lethal mob violence in India and a decades-long civil war in Sri Lanka. Do we need to continue down the road that these countries have traveled?

Mr. President do the right thing and end AA.

Mr. President do the right thing and end AA.

Do you see anywhere in this article where Sowell -- a man who surely knows more about this than you do -- suggests that there is anything for Bush to do about this case?

Do you honestly not understand what separation of powers means?

Do you care? Do you just want something, anything, to bash George Bush with?

I know that just this very night this has been explained to you over and over.

Do you just like appearing ignorant?

Night Howlin!

moral courage and moral cowardice.
Those who have opposed multiculturalism and affirmative action have not had to face any gulags or firing squads. If some people are tired of the battles, that is understandable. But suffering combat fatigue is very different from urging others to surrender.
