The US Military Academy at West Point is being sued for its race-based admissions policies by the same group that won a landmark case against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Supreme Court over affirmative action earlier this year, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

    No. You will see educational information that will teach you what you need to know to be an informed participant in discussions on the matter.

        It explains the basics you need to know to understand my explanation. At this point you would not be capable because you do not have the educational foundation.

            I have no doubt. Nobody arguing in good faith refuses to look at evidence and then expects their ideas to be taken seriously.

                I learned this myself, not in college. I think people need to take responsibility for educating themselves on topics with which they are ignorant.

                  Makes sense. I doubt your college had a course titled “how reparations are the only way to fix racism 101”.

                  Just curious: did you college ever teach you about expert shopping and confirmation bias?

                    I’m guessing you didn’t go to college or you would know you actually have to look at the evidence to have an educated opinion.

        Refusing to even look something that might challenge your worldview, or at least help you understand where someone else is coming from, is certainly a…choice.
