Rocket Man, discrimination against whites males is indeed illegal. Taylor’s brief discussion of the limited circumstances under which an employer can defend such discrimination based on an alleged need to assist minorities is accurate. Based on Taylor’s article and an article that I posted a few weeks ago by Terry Eastland, it sounds like this lawsuit has a good chance of succeeding. If the case is as strong as it sounds, then it may settle on favorable terms to the white plaintiffs. You may recall that the Clinton administration threw money at a white teacher from New Jersey in order to settle her case of “reverse discrimination” before it got to the Supreme Court. However, Taylor says that the plaintiffs in this case aren’t seeking any money; supposedly they just want their agency to stop discriminating. The Bush administration will be under great pressure not to agree to a settlement that could affect other federal govenment “affirmative action” programs.
