"I have a dream", so eloquently defended the constitution, inalienable rights, individuality, universality, the promise that all deserved equality under the law; and the speech elegantly called upon the state to ensure these basic rights.

MLK would not have supported an academy admitting students based upon their immutable chacteristics, nor would he have supported diversity quotas that destroy individual merit. It's antithetical to everything he wrote.

DEI is a wonderful utopian concept, but when you are selecting your neurosurgeon to clip an aneurism, you'll tend to fall back on meritocracy.

Also, if you'd like to close the gap on Asian and African American performance, I believe that the best tactic would be to concentrate on closing this gap:

Children in single parent households

Asian - 15%

AA - 70%

But I suppose that's racist, so let's kick the can a couple more times.
