Segregation Forever!

Glenn Reynolds has an excellent column in USA Today on the re-segregation of American universities that is being forced by the Democratic Party and the Left:

Quote

“Segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever!” Those words were thundered by Alabama Gov. George Wallace in his 1963 inauguration speech. But, in fact, the very next year, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, which brought an end to segregation.

Or did it?

Wallace later repented of this phrase, but in 2020, the 1963 George Wallace seems to be getting some traction. Because all over America — and even in Alabama — universities and schools are promoting and endorsing schemes that divide and label students by race.

 

Power Line readers are familiar with this story, but Glenn supplies chapter and verse. All across the country, colleges and universities–all of them run by members of George Wallace’s Democratic Party–are segregating the races, favoring some and discriminating against others.

In today’s academia, God help you if you are Asian. Your school’s administration certainly won’t.

I am old enough to remember when people thought George Wallace’s “Segregation forever!” was a retrograde slogan that would soon be relegated to the dustbin of history. Little did we know that more than 50 years later, the Democratic Party and the liberal educational establishment would embrace racial segregation as an ideal.
