Left Argues Medical Providers Should Be Allowed to Hire Based On Race

Three years after the Supreme Court ended racial discrimination in college admissions, the left is working hard to undermine that clear and emphatic ruling. Well-funded liberal institutions are laying the groundwork for future legal challenges that carve out areas where they want racial discrimination to continue — especially in hiring. Conservatives need to wake up to this threat and push back hard, not least because the left’s latest campaign to undermine the Constitution and American values is built on a foundation of lies.

The left’s plan involves manufacturing the intellectual ammunition to aid its arguments in the courts and the broader culture. A prime example is a recent study by two prominent leftists — including the primary author of Obamacare — which argues that black Americans need black doctors to attain the best health outcomes. The implication is clear: Medical providers should be allowed to hire based on race, because patient health depends on it. And you can almost hear the leading question: Are judges so obsessed with the Constitution that they’re willing to let black people die?
