Former President Joe Biden perfectly demonstrated the folly of liberal diversity, equity, and inclusion policies when he hired Karine Jean-Pierre as his White House press secretary.

Jean-Pierre was not fit for the job, everyone admits today. Her promotion to a job for which she was clearly unqualified pokes a hole in many liberal arguments for affirmative action.

DEMOCRATIC ‘FIRING SQUAD’ TOOK OUT BIDEN: KARINE JEAN-PIERRE

One useful contrast is the integration of MLB in the 1940s and early 1950s.

Most Americans believe that race should not play a role in hiring practices. Defenders of affirmative action and proponents of DEI disagree. They offer many arguments as to why their forms of discrimination are OK.

I am actually more receptive to some of these arguments than most people are. For instance, I believe that diversity is valuable in many circumstances. But the diversity argument for race-based hiring doesn’t apply to the job........
