Last week, during the all Mueller Report phase of media coverage, it was announced that after a 15 year investigation by the federal government, Texas Tech had agreed not to use race as a basis for admission to its medical school. That's right, for the first time in many decades, this school's admission policies will be color blind. That sounds like a good outcome. The applicants will be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. It's an outcome that Dr. Martin Luther King would have applauded.
The reaction from the left, however, has been most instructive. They don't just oppose this result, but they are horrified by it. The head of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund stated that the Trump administration had "enshrined an extreme agenda" at the school. Really, he said that. Ignoring race in making admission decisions -- for the left -- is an extreme agenda.
There's no question that favoring one race over another race is racist. It's the very definition of racism. We're now at the point where the left tells us that ending racism is an "extreme agenda".
It's a very strange world in which we live.
