FAKE NEWS: Before the Commission on Civil Rights releases a report, we try to agree on findings and recommendations. It’s hard. But for our report on Anti-Asian Racism, the Commission was able to muster a majority in favor of a limited number of recommendations. That’s progress–at least for those who like to see a little bipartisanship now and then. Unfortunately, it hasn’t done us a bit of good. The Commission’s staff recently issued an “infographic” on the report that lists “Key Recommendations for Action.” But with one exception, they’re not the recommendations the Commission actually agreed to. We figured in that it was a mistake of some sort. But no. When four Commissioner informed the Staff Director of the problem, we expected he’d fix it quickly. But he has declined to do so.
The bureaucracy is out of control.
