Found my new favorite guy. Caldwell-esque sex discrimination expert Scott Yenor joins me to discuss an absolutely incontrovertible truth: Ruth Bader Ginsburg destroyed Virginia Military Institute in United States v. Virginia (1996). Not only that, the entire pretense of the decision was that allowing women to be admitted wouldn't effect the culture at all. Very similar to Sandra Day O'Connor's famous reasoning that the purpose of making affirmative action constitutional was that it surely wouldn't be needed to rectify racial achievement in 25 years…which similarly turned out to be the opposite of true. Check out Yenor's incredible report on VMI here.And see side-by-side the original “Code of a Gentleman” from VMI, next to the utterly hollowed out, HR-ified, bombed out and depleted “Code of a Cadet” after the institution had been systematically destroyed by RBG-style liberalism.
