Summary
<p>Heather Mac Donald says that if colleges obey the Supreme Court’s ruling, it will do a great deal toward fixing racial divisions. The end of Affirmative Action just means the same number of Blacks will go to college as before, but will go to colleges that they’re academically qualified for rather than catapulted into colleges they’re not. Blacks will now be admitted on the same basis as White and Asian students based on academic qualifications. We’ve pretended that skills don’t matter when they do and now merit matters not race. Black culture is not teaching self control at home, the importance of education, to pay attention, to take textbooks home and study. Until that culture changes, the skills gap won’t close. We’re seeing a pushback to woke policies. People aren’t cowed by being called a racist. They want their doctors to have medical qualifications not racial qualifications. And it’s not transphobic to say children should not have their innocence stripped away by premature, unnecessary teachings of sexuality, much less perverse sexuality. Mac Donald says there should be an across the board boycott of Disney given its embrace of premature sexualization of children. </p><p><br /></p><p>GUEST: HEATHER MAC DONALD, AUTHOR “WHEN RACE TRUMPS MERIT”</p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
