Students support diversity quotas...until it comes to football
'It doesn’t make much sense...it should be based on skill.'
"Campus Reform reporter Ophelie Jacobson talked to students at the University of Florida on game day about diversity quotas. She first asked students if they support diversity quotas in hiring decisions and in college admissions processes. Most of the students said yes.
"“As a first generation college student from a Hispanic household, it’s very important,” one student said.
Another student said, “I think it’s an absolute necessity.”
“Absolutely, there should be more diversity in every single field,” another student told Campus Reform.
Jacobson then asked students if they support diversity quotas for sports teams. Most of the students said they would not support these quotas in sports.
“We want to win no matter what you are,” one student said.
“I don't think we should. College sports is about getting the best players for your team, and I don't think we should focus on which race or ethnicity to get,” another student said.
“ 'It doesn’t make much sense...it should be based on skill,” one student told Campus Reform.
"Jacobson then showed students what the Florida Gators’ offensive lineup would look like if the team implemented diversity quotas based on student population demographics. Students didn’t think it would be fair to implement the quota for the team.
"Did students change their mind on diversity quotas in the workplace and in college after seeing it from the perspective of college sports?

Suspect arrested for assassinating Brit MP is finally named by police, but the New York Times won’t print his name: Ali Harbi Ali
Thomas Lifson "We can guess that British Member of Parliament Sir David Amess, cruelly and painfully stabbed to death while meeting with constituents, was likely targeted for his pro-Israel and philo-Semitic views, now that the name of the suspect arrested at the scene has
"Around 6 PM EDT Saturday, the UK Guardian first reported:
Sources have confirmed to the Guardian that the suspect’s name is Ali Harbi Ali, 25.
"Other British media picked up the story and added details. The Sunday Times and Evening Standard both chose to emphasize the suspect’s family as victims: “Father’s shock after son held over Sir David Amess murder” and “Terror suspect’s family have been left ‘traumatised’ by arrest.” They respectively headlined.
"It turns out that Mr. Ali already had been on the radar of the UK’s counter-terrorism apparatus:. . . "
The Somali father of the suspected terrorist who allegedly killed Conservative MP Sir David Amess in Friday’s horrific knife attack in Essex while meeting with constituents said he had been “ traumatized ” by the shock that his son was arrested for the crime.

“It was global warming activists who tried to storm the Department of the Interior building. One officer was injured”
"Progressive climate change protesters stormed the Department of the Interior in Washington, DC this week. Is this an attack on our democracy? Was it worse than WWII and 9/11 combined?
"We’re patiently waiting for hyperventilating Democrats and media types to chime in on this outrage.
"Matt Vespa writes at Townhall:
So, We’re Just Going to Ignore a Bunch of Green Warriors Who Tried to Storm the Department of the Interior?
"It wasn’t the Capitol Building, but another insurrection occurred in Washington DC this week. Based on the liberal media’s rules, this was an attack on our democracy*, our principles, and it should shake us to our core. This isn’t who we are. Was this worse than 9/11? I don’t know.
"That’s what the establishment media thought of the January 6 riot. Are these domestic terrorists going to be arrested as well? Will there be a congressional committee to investigate how this heinous attack on our country occurred this week? Probably not. It was left-wingers. It was global warming activists who tried to storm the Department of the Interior building. One officer was injured…". . .
All emphases in the original.
CNN and MSNBC need people like this:
Mr. Skambraks may be jeapordizing his career in broadcasting nby raising these questions, but as a man of conscience, he weites from the heart. We'll try to follow what happens to him.

From the beginning, I felt that public service broadcasting should fill precisely this space: promote dialogue between advocates of measures and critics, between people who are afraid of the virus and people who are afraid of losing their basic rights, between vaccination supporters and vaccination sceptics. For the past year and a half, however, the space for discussion has narrowed considerably.
Scientists and experts who were respected and esteemed before Covid, who were given space in public discourse, are suddenly labelled cranks, tinfoil hat wearers or Covidiots. (snip)
Instead of an open exchange of opinions, a “scientific consensus” was proclaimed, that must be defended. Anyone who doubts this and demands a multidimensional perspective on the pandemic, will reap indignation and scorn.
"He uses a German example of suppression of heterodox views:"
As an oft-cited example critical of the Government’s Covid-19 measures were labelled right-wingers. Which editor will still dare to voice similar ideas?...
TD: He will be pressured by the left to sink as low as these useful idiots:
