Kudos to Stanley Kurtz for his recent post (and leadership generally) regarding the Obama administration’s lamentable “affirmatively furthering fair housing” regulation. My two cents’ worth: First, the trouble with the argument for coercing economic integration is that it has no basis in the statute, and the trouble with the racial argument is that it’s wrong for the government to decide where people should live on the basis of their skin color. Second, even if the administration’s “interpretation” of the Fair Housing Act were somehow defensible, there is no reason for Congress not to clarify that this interpretation is the wrong one. Here’s hoping that it does.
