On the Fact that Surface-Thinking Jackboots Like Michelle Obama, Joy Reid, Sunny Hostin, etc. Never, EVER, Ask the Fundamental Question, Is Affirmative Action In Education Beneficial to Black Students?

 They're all assuming of course that it is but if you read the books, "Mismatch" by Richard Sander and Stuart Taylor (neither one a hardcore conservative if that matters to you) and "Affirmative Action Around the World" by Thomas Sowell, you'll soon discover that it probably isn't in that it places students into situations that they're ill-equipped to handle to such a point where they'll either drop out completely or change their major to something ludicrous like women's studies. Of course the saddest part of all is that these youngsters would probably succeed if they simply went to a school commensurate with their capabilities; i.e., Stony Brook instead of Cornell, UMass Lowell instead of Harvard, Keene State instead of Dartmouth, George Mason instead of Georgetown, Furman instead of Duke, etc.. And, besides, it's much, much easier to pay off a student loan with a STEM degree from a less expensive college than a "studies"degree from one of these supposedly elite schools.
