More Shutting Down of Politically Incorrect Research [someone]
To be fair, they're not trying to hound this guy out of the profession like those tranny nuts. But the left establishment has been working to prevent a scholar's data collection. Why?
Because the scholar is challenging the self-satisfaction on race that's so important to liberal Boomers:
Mr. Sander calculated that there are fewer black attorneys today than there would have been if law schools had practiced color-blind admissions--about 7.9% fewer by his reckoning. He identified the culprit as the practice of admitting minority students to schools for which they are inadequately prepared.
Specifically, Mr. Sander found that when black and white students with similar academic credentials compete against each other at the same school, they earn about the same grades. Similarly, when black and white students with similar grades from the same tier law school take the bar examination, they pass at about the same rate.
Yet, paradoxically, black students as a whole have dramatically lower bar passage rates than white students with similar credentials. Something is wrong.
Gee, I wonder what that could be.
Of course, under current doctrine, black and other politically favored "minority" students aren't there for their own benefit; they're there so their minority magic can rub off on the other students. (Seriously. Ask Sandra Day O'Connor.) So if a couple of hundred kids in over their heads yearly fail out and screw up their lives, what's that compared to everyone else getting their required daily dose of diversity? Omelet. Eggs. Google it.
