A rift within Democrat ranks<\/a>.  Excerpt:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

California\u2019s Democrats have long chafed against Proposition 209, a 1996 voter-backed measure that said: \u201cThe state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, colour, ethnicity, or national origin\u201d in public employment or education. In January SCA 5, a Democratic bill which, if approved by voters, would have exempted universities from this rule (and thus allowed them to bring back affirmative action), whizzed through the state Senate. It seemed likely to pass in the lower house, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But SCA 5 was defeated in the lower house. That's good news and a victory for justice, which is not to be confused with 'social justice.'  Only the morally obtuse could object to Prop. 209.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately the morally obtuse have infiltrated deep into our institutions:<\/span><\/p>\n

"The university has been hurt\u201d by Prop 209, says Gene Block, UCLA\u2019s chancellor. Like other university administrators, he says that diversity creates a better atmosphere for learning. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That is just politically correct nonsense.  But I am not in the mood to explain why one more time.<\/span><\/p>\n
