Western Civilization - Part 4

     From the speech at Hillsdale: "You can have proportional diversity, or you can have meritocracy. You cannot have both."

     "In the post-George Floyd era, black juveniles are shot at 100 times the rate of white juveniles. Blacks between age ten and 24 are killed in drive by shootings at nearly 25 times the rate of whites in that same age range. The country turns its eyes away."

     Police cannot restore law and order without having a disparate impact on black criminals. So, our political class has decided not to restore law and order (for you and me). As long as racism remains the only allowable explanation, the Left wins, and our civilization will continue to crumble." 

"We must stop apologizing for Western Civilization. The ongoing attack on colorblind excellence is putting our scientific edge at risk. China, which cares nothing for identity politics, throws everything it has at its most talented students. China ranks number one in tests of K-12 math, science and reading skills. The U.S. ranks 25th." 

     "China is racing ahead in critical defense technologies. The American Mathematical Association declares math to be racist. President Biden puts a soil geologist with no background in physics at the top of the Department of Energy's science programs."

     "What do we do? We proclaim that excellence is not racist. We assert that categories like race, gender and sexual preference are never qualifications for a job. I know for a fact that being female is not an accomplishment. I am equally sure that being gay or black are also not accomplishments."

     "It is the progressive elites, not their conservative opponents, who are engaging in cultural revolution! Most conservatives today are not even playing defense. Conservatives should promote the virtues of free markets and limited government, but the diversity regime is the nemesis of both."

     "Lowering standards helps no one. High expectations are the key to achievement. We must speak the truth, and never apologize and never back down."
