Well..with the Supreme Court blowing up 40 years of precedent today by making affirmative action illegal in college admissions, my only question is “can they be any more racist?” I mean Clarence Thomas wouldn’t be on the court if there wasn’t AA back when he applied to college…he pulled the typical repub bullshit…he got his and now lets pull the ladder up so no one else an use it. The telling part of the decision is they left in place the ability of colleges and universities to use legacy as a factor for admissions…so family (white) is perfectly acceptable but trying to make the society more equitable and addressing the systemic racism built into it is not…this smacks of the decision the court made to gut the voting rights act saying that racism doesn’t exist anymore…maybe in their world, but in the real world it sure does and now quality minority candidates lose another avenue into the middle class….geez…

Mark Chelgren, repub sooper genius…
Well….you gotta hand it to the repubs, they never miss a chance to try to enact unconstitutional laws across this country, and now we have another repub sooper genius trying it in Iowa. Mark Chelgren, sooper genius, has just introduced an unconstitutional bill that would require universities in Iowa to “balance” the political affiliation of professors and would force the state to use…hmmm….what’s the phrase? Oh, affirmative action, to make sure that white repub professors would be given preference in hiring until there is essentially an equal number of repubs and dems in the ranks. Now, I wonder why there are more dem professors than republicans…could it be that dems believe in science and the scientific method, and think that objective facts are what should be taught and not opinions? Or could it be that dems value the idea of giving back to the society and that we have a duty to try to make it better instead of plundering and pillaging it for personal profit? I think the dems in Iowa should attack this law with the same derisive use of “affirmative action” that the repubs used to demonize any preference to help make society more equal….and turn it around on this idiot…this sooper genius….
