A Wall Street Journal Letter to the Editor in response to Heather Mac Donald’s Wall Street Journal op-ed on Monday (“Diversity Delusions at North Carolina“):
Identity politics is perhaps the most pernicious and backward policy of the 21st century. Our Constitution attempted to end the determination of a person’s value by his or her parentage or ancestral land of origin. Ironically, it is the progressives who want to return to this destructive and anti-meritocracy system of the past centuries.
