I’d like to respond to The Capital Times editorial, “Stifling discourse,” which ran on Dec. 18 and criticized the way I, as chairman of the Legislative Council Special Committee on Affirmative Action, handle the committee.
….To varying degrees, I felt each of the speakers defended the current system. The Capital Times described this as a “one-sided review.” If anything, it’s been one-sided toward the status quo.
….With prejudice in our society declining to the point of irrelevance and the nation headed for a day when we are over 40 percent minority, can we afford these programs anymore? I personally despise calling anyone in America a minority at this time.
