Quote of Note – From Gerald A. Reynolds, Assistant Secretary of Education, Office of Civil Rights:
Discrimination is going to always be an issue. There always is going to be a knucklehead out there who will make a decision based on race or gender. We need the tools to go after those people.”
In the old days, such a statement would have been seen as supportive of civl rights, but not now.
“The NAACP finds Reynolds’s stated view on equal opportunity programs, such as affirmative action, to be appalling,” said Hilary O. Shelton, the civil rights group’s chief Washington lobbyist.”
That’s because, these days, so many of the knuckleheads who favor making decisions based on race or gender are in the “civil rights groups.”
