Social Justice vs. Human Nature
Last Friday, the New York Times revealed that a lawsuit targeting Harvard University claims the school has systematically discriminated against minorities. That is, one particular minority. The school, it was alleged, has handicapped Asian-American students. Otherwise, they’d have to accept too many qualified Asian-Americans. For a peculiar type of activist for social equality, this was the good kind of prejudice–the kind that privileges accidents of birth over individual merit and achievement. Or, in the soft, docile Newspeak that suffices to comfort the enlightened elites charged with keeping the deserving down: “racial balancing.”

“DIVERSITY” AND DISCRIMINATION AT HARVARD
In November 2014, the activist organization Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) brought suit against Harvard College for its undergraduate admissions policies, claiming that this most elite of American colleges was discriminating against Asian-Americans. The case will likely go to trial in federal court in early 2019. Along the way, the lawsuit has squeezed out confidential details regarding Harvard’s admissions process, with its differential impacts on students of different races.

Judicial Watch today released newly obtained internal IRS documents, including material revealing that Sen. John McCain’s former staff director and chief counsel on the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee, Henry Kerner, urged top IRS officials, including then-director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner, to “audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous.” Kerner was appointed by President Trump as Special Counsel for the United States Office of Special Counsel.
