Racial policies on campus hurt minority students

A ‘Dubious Expediency’: How Race-Preferential Admissions Policies on Campus Hurt Minority Students

Gail L. Heriot:

Abstract

Mounting empirical research shows that race-preferential admissions policies are doing more harm than good. Instead of increasing the numbers of African Americans entering high-status careers, these policies reduce those numbers relative to what we would have had if colleges and universities had followed race-neutral policies. We have fewer African-American scientists, physicians, and engineers and likely fewer lawyers and college professors. If, as the evidence indicates, the effects of race-preferential admissions policies are exactly the opposite of what was originally intended, it is difficult to understand why anyone would wish to support them.

The Democrats focus on nonsense extends to all aspects of government

IS “RACISM” A PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT?

PAUL MIRENGOFF:

“…The CDC’s director, Biden appointee Rochelle Walensky, has declared that racism is a public health threat. Accordingly, she has vowed to invest more resources in minority communities.

To the non-woke, Walensky’s declaration might seem like politically correct nonsense masquerading as science, in service of funneling money to a core Democrat constituency. But to leftists, the statement is true by definition, based on the following syllogism:

    1. All outcomes unfavorable to Blacks are the product of racism.
    2. Blacks have less favorable health outcomes than Whites.
    3. Therefore, the unfavorable health outcomes Blacks suffer are the product of racism.
    4. And therefore, racism is a public health threat.

I don’t know whether anyone is presenting Walensky’s conclusion in quite these terms. However, it seems clear that this sort of thinking underlies the view that racism threatens public health…”

In the four numbered items above, Mr. Mirengoff exposes the childlike logic that underlies Democrat policy prescriptions across government.

I wonder what the national name recognition is for John Boehner? Positive/negative on Boehner?

Republican Turncoat John Boehner Calls Jim Jordan and Ted Cruz ‘Political Terrorists’

Paleo-Republicans continue to disgrace themselves.

They sell their souls to liberal media to feel important again. Liberal media uses them like a team of rented mules. It’s pretty disgusting.

Fauci, double masked for Covid safety

“…If it weren’t so sad and devastating to people’s lives, we would be living in the middle of one of the greatest comedies of all time. Democrats are scrambling to understand why their policies related to COVID are failing while Republican policies are succeeding. There is no explanation they can see, none they can accept, because leftists are incapable of even entertaining the possibility that they could be wrong. About anything.

Infection rates are surging to near record levels…in states with lockdowns and mask mandates, and they are sinking in states without them. So-called experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci can’t explain this, which means no one in media can either since he’s the only person they believe on the subject, no matter what evidence contradicts him.

“Call it a ‘COVID conundrum,’ in states with the strictest measures in the country, like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and much of New England, cases are on the rise,” a Today Show report this week started. “While in the south, states like Arkansas and Texas that have reopened businesses and ripped away mask mandates are seeing their numbers drop.”…”
