Public Colleges Defy Federal Law with Racially Segregated Events to Further Diversity

The Department of Justice (DOJ) should investigate “an alarming trend of racial segregation” at America’s taxpayer-funded universities, according to a pair of United States Senators who cite a number of troubling examples in a letter to Attorney General William Barr. The incidents appear to be part of a growing and increasingly powerful movement aimed at promoting diversity by somehow undoing what leftists assert is systemic racism at academic institutions in the U.S. This has led officials at campuses nationwide to organize numerous events, create race-based dorms and other divisive activities that, ironically, infringe upon the decades-old federal law enacted to prohibit it.

In fact, in the letter to Barr the senators—Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Kelly Loeffler of Georgia—note that the colleges appear to be violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the landmark legislation that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. The law also strengthened school desegregation and voting rights. The section that the lawmakers refer to in their letter to the attorney general specifically prohibits discrimination based on race in federally funded activities or programs like the ones listed. The senators urge the DOJ to investigate the discriminatory events and other accommodations provided in their letter as well as other similar cases as part of “our nation’s commitment to equality before the law.” After noting examples as well as a National Association of Scholars report documenting incidents, the legislators write this: “Sadly, there is evidence that segregation is a growing trend, especially on college campuses.”

    They’d just as well have sent the letters to Santa Clause. Barr is a fat faced clown who has the same energy as a slug. But this is something we know. With fat comes lethargy and coupled with him and Trump at odds over performance, then the course of action is ‘do nothing and collect a fat paycheck’.
    Barr isn’t ‘as good as Jeff Sessions in the respect Sessions did have the drive to object and abstain. Barr is a toad that sits about and croaks only when ‘poked’.
    Trump is a winner except in choice of help. Now you know why his favorite phrase on TV was ‘You’re fired!!!
