Must not use facts to explain minority underachievement

We read:
"This year, Austrian economist and Loyola-New Orleans professor Walter Block was condemned by the school's diversity task force based on a second-hand report of allegedly gender-and racially-insensitive remarks he made in a speech and Q & A given at another school. Block's fighting back relentlessly.

Will the Task Force rescind their condemnation? Will the University apologize to Block? I doubt it.

And here's the reason: to use facts and logic to point to causes, besides chauvinism and bigotry in the free market, that explain wage gaps between males and females, or between blacks and whites, is often automatically interpreted as blaming females and blacks, or suggesting they are inferior. Also, university profs are generally quite egotistical (even those who serve on Diversity Task Forces), and generally will refuse to admit, to themselves or to others, that they're wrong.

A fact can not be racist or sexist. It can only be uncomfortable to those who wish not to hear the truth.

I am going to censure you for something you allegedly said that someone overheard someone tell someone else that they heard someone say they heard you say!

Another conviction by the thought police.

Is anyone else worried when they start calling these morons a "task force?"
