The Justice Department’s civil rights division has taken a step toward investigating and suing colleges based on admissions policies deemed discriminatory against white applicants, the New York Times reported Tuesday.
The Times reported on a document it obtained sent to employees of the civil rights division. It sought lawyers interested in “investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions.” Résumés are due in a week.
The Times reported that the announcement “suggests” the project will be run out of the politically appointed “front office” of the civil rights division. Political appointees have also played a hand in the Justice Department’s switch of position regarding Texas’ voter ID laws and gay rights cases, the Times noted.
In June 2016, the Supreme Court voted 4-3 to uphold the University of Texas-Austin’s affirmative action program. Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy asserted: “Considerable deference is owed to a university in defining those intangible characteristics, like student body diversity, that are central to its identity and educational mission.”
Members of the KKK and Stormfront are oppressed. Trump should investigate colleges and universities to make sure people from those organizations gain admittance also.
I see that Jefferson Beauregard Sessions clearly has his KKK-loving little fingerprints all over this one…
Is there really a problem that needs to be solved here? Or, as I suspect, is this just some symbolic GOP crusade to bolster the morale of ignorant white Trump supporters. If so, why not also investigate “discrimination” against white elf-like midgets by the NBA.
Just a matter of time until they get around to becoming very, very concerned by the ratio of Jews to white “Christians” in this process. It will be an easy slip down the slippery slide of concern about the ratio of Asians to white people, which, in turn is going to follow from becoming concerned about black and Hispanic kids being admitted despite not being white.
The irony here is that Sessions will find that colleges have a high number of Asians and 1st generation immigrants due to their reliance on objective test scores. He will also learn that a lot of white folks either don’t want to go to college or would like to go but can’t afford it. His law suits/investigations will reveal that colleges have in fact used affirmative action to help lower income whites as much as minorities. He will then come to the realization that what is needed is more affirmative action based on socio-economic factors, not less. He will also become an advocate for free college to help more white kids get ahead.
