Obama Administration Files Brief Supporting Racial Discriminatio Against Whites in University Admissions
Topics: Political News and commentariesAlthough the title of Roger Clegg's piece at NRO is Obama Administration Files Brief Supporting Racial Preferences in University Admissions, the bottom line is that the Obama administration is clearly taking a position that supports discrimination against white students at not only the university level, but at the K-12 level as well:
On Friday, the Obama administration filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, supporting the use of racial preferences by the University of Texas in its undergraduate admissions. The brief is a full-throated endorsement of such discrimination, and it goes out of its way to say that the administration will support it at the K-12 level, too, as well as throughout university admissions: "In view of the importance of diversity in educational institutions, the United States, through the Departments of Education and Justice, supports the efforts of school systems and post-secondary educational institutions that wish to develop admissions policies that endeavor to achieve the educational benefits of diversity in accordance with [the Supreme Court's 2003 decision upholding the use of preferences by the University of Michigan law school]."Clear, cut-and-dry, anti-white racial discrimination, from our supposed "post-racial" president. Surely, there can be no question now that Barack Obama is about as post-racial as the Klu Klux Klan and the Black Panthers (which has been protected by Eric Holders DOJ - which has essentially institutionalized racial discrimination (against whites))The brief is also noteworthy because the University here wants to make sure that there is plenty of racial diversity on a classroom-by-classroom basis, and because the University was already bragging about its high degree of diversity when it decided to ramp it up through more overt preferences following the Supreme Court's 2003 decision. There is also the usual disingenuousness of how race is only being considered "a factor" -- but, of course, that factor will make the difference for many students in whether they get in or not, else why consider it at all?
This case, in all likelihood, is headed to the Supreme Court, and the Obama administration has now staked out its position. (emphasis added)
