THE WASHINGTON POST, ATTACKING TRUMP, SOUNDS LIKE GEORGE WALLACE:
Included in the story is one startling aspect that, for those who know American history – and apparently that does not include The Post these days — is shocking. It reads thusly, bold print for emphasis supplied.
“The (Trump) compact asks schools to pledge allegiance to conservative values and policies in eight enumerated areas, including by promising to:
*Prohibit consideration of factors such as gender, race or political views from being considered for admissions, scholarships or programming.”
Hello? Today’s Leftists – and The Post?– oppose the Trump “conservative values” view that colleges should not be allowed to take into admission qualifications like the “consideration of factors such as gender, race”?
Take a minute and hop in the history time capsule, and travel back to June 11, 1963. Famously, Democrat and decidedly segregationist Alabama Governor George Wallace literally stood in the entrance to the University of Alabama (the “school house door” as it was then termed in the media of the day) to oppose the admission of black students to the then all-white state university.
Which is to say, Wallace was demanding exactly what The Washington Post apparently now thinks is a good thing in college admissions – taking into “consideration of factors such as gender, race…” They can’t imagine having empathy for a deserving white or Asian student not gaining admission to top colleges based on skin color.
The WaPo aren’t the only leftists who are whistling Dixie:
Victor Davis Hanson just coined the PERFECT term for leftist mayors like Karen Bass—those trying to block federal government operations in their cities.
“They’re really neo-confederate nullificationists.”
But Hanson says these modern-day secessionists have one major difference… pic.twitter.com/Z6G8Cvs5H3

As VDH noted a decade ago, “The intellectual pedigree of sanctuary cities is not 1960s one-world ecumenicalism, but 1850s Confederate nullification. Their logical consequence is not a wide-open transnational continent, but utter disunion among the states and a second confederate attempt at destroying the primacy of the federal government.”
