On Oct. 10, when the U.S. Supreme Court hears oral arguments in the case of Abigail Noel Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, et al, “affirmative action” again will become a hot topic of discussion. Here’s hoping that the justices’ decision results in eliminating the bad experiment of race preferences by government actors in education.
Affirmative action is like a trendy parenting tactic for sibling rivalry that you read about online and try on your kids. It sounds like an obvious cure-all, but it doesn’t work, it’s exhausting to enforce, and you spend more time arguing with your spouse (and the kids) about why they have to go along with it than you do reaping the intended benefits of peaceful, mutually-supportive kids.
