alt-right crap.

I can only hope the backlash among institutions and communities against DOJ will be intense.

Anybody getting angry yet?

we are going to use your civil rights lawyers to do it."

That should be a quote from the assholes running the DoJ.

This is deplorable bullshit. Now we have activist extremists out to destroy the education systems. Despicable but not unexpected for this extreme dysfunctional utopian GOP wet dream.

Would not come within 200 feet of this effort. DoJ lawyers often become Federal judges later in their careers. If I were a lawyer I would not want this on my resume.

Young white men would fare not very well at all.

Currently, on average in the United States, girls/women form 54-55% of high school graduates.
In terms of course work, girls tend to have a roughly 3.2 GPA versus just under 3.0 for boys, and those girls take more - and more difficult courses.

The only thing in which graduating boys do better than girls is the math portion of the SAT - which has been consistent for a number of years. However, in actual math classes, girls' work tends to be on a par with boys (which raises some interesting questions around the testing protocols).

I have seen no statistics about the extra-curricular activities (no minds in the gutter, please) of boys versus girls, but would initially assume the levels to be similar.

The key difference in all of this is that girls tend to focus and get their work done. They also have a far lower predilection for engaging in criminal activities.

Another couple of forms of affirmative action include the preference of applicants whose parents went to the university, apparently worth about 10% on the SAT, allowing a large number of under-qualified (and overwhelmingly white - no idea on the break between the genders) applicants to be accepted. Furthermore, contributing vast sums of money to a university will often get one's child a place that they would not have otherwise merited.

Thus, be careful what you wish for. If young white males actually wish for fairness, they might not like the outcome.

DJT and his spawn are glaring examples of your penultimate paragraph.

You are spot on.
