Meritocracy Dies With Diversity

  |   By Lou Dobbs Staff

Heather Mac Donald, author of the book “When Race Trumps Merit,” says colorblind neutral standards are the way a civilization saves itself, improves itself and saves people from premature death through poverty and squalor. We’re so terrified to speak the truth that we’re willing to destroy those standards in favor of mediocrity. Americans believe in racial etiquette and turn heir eyes away rather than bring attention to pathological inner city culture resulting in massive academic skills gaps. They’re willing to put their own lives at risk by telling FAA diversity is more important than having skills necessary to keep planes safe in the air. Mac Donald says colleges are a betrayal of what they should be. They’ve become machines, more interested in expanding their student bodies so they can have bigger budgets to hire more bureaucrats. Far too many people are going to college under the assumption that unless you have a college degree, your life is over. Mac Donald thinks what’s going on is far worse than Marxism. It’s a hatred for Western civilization, a civilization deemed too white and too male.
