In case you missed it …
Faculty at Texas A&M voted to exclude Asian and white job applicants so they can hire people with preferred skin colors instead.
A California university won’t send its student teachers to work in a local school district that wouldn’t teach Critical Race Theory.
A Vermont middle school suspended the girls’ soccer coach without pay for refusing to use a transgender student’s preferred pronouns.
A high school girls' volleyball player suffered severe head and neck injuries after a trans opponent spiked her in the face with the ball.
Dear Friends,
Segregation is riddled throughout our college campuses, and it’s getting worse.
From the moment they apply to college right through graduation day, students enter a world where they’re now routinely judged not on the content of their character, but the color of their skin.
A study by the National Association of Scholars showed that of American colleges, 42% offer segregated residences, 46% offer segregated orientation programs, and 72% host segregated graduation ceremonies.
It starts with admissions. While 78% of Americans believe race should play no part in college admissions, most colleges do the opposite. Federal and state laws prohibit racial discrimination, yet most colleges have skirted that by various diversity claims which hide their dubious race-based policies. It’s a bizarre questionably legal dance, yet it’s obvious to anyone helping a child get into college that being white or Asian is a clear disadvantage.
Yes, segregated dorms are a thing. They now call it “affinity housing”, since muddled words apparently make the ugly policies more palatable. Like the other policies, which some call “neo segregation”, they’re voluntary to the minority student choosing the option, yet clearly not voluntary to those legally excluded.
Even government run schools get into the race game, such as University of California campuses in Los Angeles and Berkeley offering segregated dorms to black students, to name just a couple.
Racial clubs and “safe space” activity areas are now common. And it goes beyhond that. Harvard, for instance, recently offered a theater performance of Macbeth, available only to black audience members. The only thing missing are the ugly signs from our past.
Graduations for certain skin colors or ethnicities are also gaining in popularity. It’s now a widely accepted collage feature, allowing neo segregation to last until the very last day of school.
Beyond the campus
When those students, now accustomed to racial discrimination, hit the “real world” they’re bring those attitudes with them, and changing America for the worse.
Here are just a few examples. While California voters recently soundly rejected a state proposition that would have legalized racial discrimination, the state has implemented race-based quotas for corporate boards. The Biden administration is looking at race-based loan forgiveness, and New York is being sued for using race to prioritize COVID treatment.
Kamala Harris even wanted race to apply to emergency aid after Hurricane Ian. While her handlers tried to deny it, any time you hear someone using the word “equity”—as opposed to “equality”—they’re virtually always tying to implement a not-so-subtle racial play, and she was doing exactly that.
It’s driven by hardball politics and “kindness”
Many of these policies are driven because minorities can and do demand them.
But policy leaders go along with them, often because they see underperforming racial groups, and want to help fix the problem. And end up doing the exact opposite.
Take Oregon Governor Kate Brown, who last year announced that literacy and math tests for high school graduation would be eliminated, to “develop more equitable graduation requirements.” (There’s that word again!). Her office spokesperson made it clear that it was designed to help “Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”
Help? Its main result will be to graduate more minority kids who are academic failures. They’ll going out into the world with fewer skills and less knowledge. They will fail more in life.
Governor Brown doesn’t hate people of color, and in her heart, she’s helping them. But to help people, you also need to use your head.
Whatever the motivations, we’re moving towards the ultimate goal of racist groups like the KKK – segregating people by race and isolating them as groups rather than drawing them together as a cohesive whole.
It’s the opposite of our American ideals, and we need another path.

MLK & the whole 60s era Was to end Segregation BUT Now the Next Gen types want to Revive It
Enough No more
End this BS
Look at Civil Rights in the 60s telecasts CBS NBC ABC
Only segregation I favor is to seperate criminals from the Public (any race)
We're teetering between the soft bigotry that continues among white liberals like Oregon's governor and a much harder kind, the type that must have Thurgood Marshall spinning in his grave. Maybe "equal but separate" has a better ring that the opposite phrase had but the outcome is still the same. And people can bring this into the work world all they want; it will not go well outside of the public sector which can get away with brute force. People of ALL races who have learned that being an adult means that character and performance matter above all may take issue with this assault on their equilibrium. How terribly ironic that people insist this is the worst of times for minorities of all kinds when the evidence screams that the polar opposite is true.
