Further evidence of PC run amuck. My son is the owner of a small company that builds special electronics for the government. For five years he has actively recruited minorities from engineering schools. He has hired whites, Hispanics, and Asians. He said he has interviewed black Engineering grads, but has never encountered one that his truly qualified. He said it's like they handed them a degree.

He says the lowering of standards is something that has happened in past 20 years -- he has several black engineering colleagues, from his same era (class of '82 or earlier) that he would hire in a heartbeat.

Sad. I wish some of these minorities would sue the universities for not making them adhere to same standards as everyone else.
