Bump.
this was a great teachable moment!
Is there somewhere to watch all of John’s show on PC?
My affirmative-action cupcake "event" led to some interesting discussions. One young woman began by criticizing me, "It's absolutely wrong."
But after I raised the parallel with college admissions, she said: "No race of people is worth more than another. Or less."
But do you believe in affirmative action in colleges? I asked.
"I used to," she replied. Those are the kind discussions students should have.

Excellent illustration! Same exact example should be used in HS and college. It’s too easy to teach how wrong affirmative action is. There isn’t a college professor in the country who could successfully argue against this illustration.
And he made a FOOL of O’Reilly, who goes meekly along, then lies about it, then gets called on it :D
Affirmation action is obviously, absolutely, completely racist or worse UNFAIR...
