Wow! That's Pretty Bitter
The
American Thinker blog cites Heather MacDonald's article and refers to the $50 million diversity plan as "the bitter fruit of capitulation to idiocy."
I quote this paragraph because it nicely sums up the way many conservatives are reacting to Summers' endorsement of the diversity scheme.
"This is a personal tragedy for Summers. He must have been told to genuflect or else lose his job. He dared speak the truth, and then flinched. Far better for him to have earned a noble place in history than to hold onto the trappings of glory at the cost of his intellectual integrity."
Yes, possibly. But that's what ambition will do to a man—make him compromise himself. Is that so wrong? Discuss.
