Following a two-year investigation, the former Trump administration filed discrimination lawsuits against Yale, an Ivy League university and one of the country’s oldest, because the institution illegally discriminates against white and Asian students.
The Trump Justice Department didn’t do much in the way of helping President Trump enact his legal policies, but the DoJ at least got this case right: The suit was part of a larger effort by the former president to do away with so-called “affirmative action” programs that, by any definition, institutionalize racism by showing preference to minorities. If those policies were being used to show favoritism to white students, there would have been rioting in the streets decades ago.
Oh wait…there was. And that’s when the affirmative action laws were passed.
In any event, back to the Trump effort.
“Many conservatives hoped that the Supreme Court’s shift to the right – with the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett – would produce a decision striking down affirmative action in school admissions,” Human Events reported last week. “But that hope has been squashed.”
Why? Because Biden’s Justice Department has dropped the government’s very provable, very winnable case (again, it was filed after a two-year probe) because Biden’s ‘woke’ left-wing handlers want to ‘Make Racial Discrimination Great Again.'
The investigation is still open, Human Events reported, but what’s the point? There is no way Biden’s handlers are going to let him order his Justice Department to make admissions more fair and equitable for all applicants because doing so would violate their left-wing identity policies.
“The Justice Department has dismissed its lawsuit in light of all available facts, circumstances, and legal developments,” said a spokeswoman.
Naturally, the like-minded leftists who run Yale and who were in charge of the discrimination applauded.
“Our admissions process has allowed Yale College to assemble an unparalleled student body, which is distinguished by its academic excellence and diversity. Yale has steadfastly maintained that its process complies fully with Supreme Court precedent, and we are confident that the Justice Department will agree,” the institution said.
And yet, that same Justice Department just a few days ago thought it had unearthed enough evidence to file suit against Yale. How’d that happen? (Related: Tucker Carlson warns that the Democrat Party has launched war on half of America.)
The DoJ first opened its probe in 2018 following a complaint filed in 2016 (so much for ‘speedy justice’) with the Justice and Education departments by several Asian-American groups led by the Asian American Coalition for Education, according to The Wall Street Journal.
“The lawsuit accused Yale of racial balancing, similar to following quotas, saying the school keeps the annual percentage of admitted African-American applicants to within one percentage point of the previous year’s class, and that it conducts similar balancing for Asian-American applicants,” the WSJ reported.
But the Justice Department said in its complaint that the school’s “oversized, standardless, intentional use of race has subjected domestic, non-transfer applicants to Yale College to discrimination on the ground of race.”
The Asian American Coalition for Education, of course, blasted the Biden DoJ’s decision.
“The Administration’s refusal to defend equality and merit in college admissions will unequivocally harm Asian-American students,” the group said, according to the WSJ. “We will continue fighting courageously until our children are no longer treated as second-class citizens by American colleges.”
Last fall, the Education Department said it would investigate allegations of racism against whites at another Ivy League school, Princeton, but seasoned politicos don’t have any faith that Biden’s handlers will allow that investigation to proceed, even if the evidence is plain.
