		<description><![CDATA[One day the current crop of &#8220;affirmative action&#8221; opponents will be no more, which is why I&#8217;m heartened to know there are young people who think deeply about the unfairness of racial preferences and the double standards their existence encourages. Alex Gushner, a senior at the University of California at Santa Barbara, writes in the [...]]]></description>

Someone raised a legal challenge, and the city removed the race and sex elements and renamed the program Small Business Opportunities. Although the program still involves a set-aside (contractors must subcontract 12 percent of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the reasons I oppose racial preferences is the implication that but for factoring race into the admissions equation, blacks would disappear from colleges, or that blacks wouldn&#8217;t have opportunities unless the decision-maker considers their skin color. I reject the implication and the practice, and I believe blacks can achieve without racial considerations. Racial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, the plaintiffs in Fisher v. Texas (UT) asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their racial discrimination case. Abigail Fisher contends that UT rejected her on the basis of race. You may recall that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld UT&#8217;s race-based admissions. Eight years ago, the court upheld [...]]]></description>

Yesterday, a &#8220;diverse&#8221; group of protestors at the DoubleTree Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin, shut down a press conference about a study exposing the University of Wisconsin-Madison&#8217;s (UW-Madison) race-based admissions scheme.

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week I blogged about a new executive order euphemistically titled, &#8220;Establishing a Coordinated Government-wide Initiative to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce.&#8221; It should be noted that blacks are overrepresented in the federal government, so why the urgency to hire more? Well, we wouldn&#8217;t have to ask the question if all [...]]]></description>

Most Americans oppose lowering standards for certain racial minorities, regardless of the justification. If the issue were put to the vote in states that haven&#8217;t barred their government from discriminating against or granting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What happens when the government declares that skin-deep diversity justifies racial discrimination? Certain individuals become the targets of government-mandated racial discrimination. That&#8217;s how it works. The problem is, people don&#8217;t usually complain about the practice until it personally affects them. People need to complain on principle, loudly and often, and do something about it.
