Gutting Defends Affirmative Action

Against the objections of NYT readers.
   I suppose I'm still inclined to reluctantly support some types of affirmative action in higher ed. But I don't think it's an easy thing to defend. But it's probably less bad than the "diversity" approach, since the latter involves, basically, the creation and maintenance of a cultish devotion to a set of crazy, ill-formed beliefs about the magical power of [reverential tones] "diversity and inclusion."
