Quote of the Day: Human Oregano

"Actually, that promise -- a colorblind society -- has been traduced by the "diversity" exception to the Equal Protection Clause. That exception allows white majorities to feel noble while treating blacks and certain other minorities as seasoning -- a sort of human oregano -- to be sprinkled across a student body to make the majority's educational experience more flavorful."

~George Will in his column
Diversity Education, which contains this quote from Thurgood Marshall, written as Chief Counsel for the NAACP in 1954 for the Brown v. Board of Education desegregation case:

"Distinctions by race are so evil, so arbitrary and invidious that a state bound to defend the equal protection of the laws must not invoke them in any public sphere."
