I came out of my encounter with the politically correct all right, I guess. I was graduated from Georgetown University Law Center (GULC), as the Georgetown law school is called, in spite of calls for my expulsion. I received only one death threat.

This response revealed that a policy, whose fairness and wisdom are doubtful, has remained in force not on its merits but through the suppression of any criticism of its flaws. And the response also raised questions about the honesty and integrity of the administrators of GULC’s affirmative-action programs.

Christopher Hasson, a former lieutenant arrested at Coast Guard headquarters in Washington, D.C., was convicted last year on firearms and drug charges. Prosecutors also convinced the sentencing judge in Maryland to ratchet up his punishment with a terrorism-related penalty, presenting evidence that Hasson had researched and planned an attack on U.S. officials in support of white nationalism.
