At its fundamental, 申哈 is a classic liberal tactic in pursue of a classic liberal goal, yet its supporters, such as 赵宇空, claim they are for "small government". They won't recognize small government even if it is staring them in the face.
@hui Don't argue with me, argue with @Tao W You thumbed up him probably because he is against equality for gender identity. But if the same logic applies, what does it say about 申哈 ?!
@Tao W 和所有认为私校可以爱怎么招生就怎么招生的朋友。看看以下教育部OCR关于Princeton University 报告的第一页: OCR initiated this review under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., and its implementing regulation at 34 C.F.R. Part 100, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving financial assistance from the Department. The University is a recipient of financial assistance from the Department. Therefore, OCR has jurisdictional authority to conduct this compliance review under Title VI.
@Ting Dai : @Tao W is making a philosophical argument, not a legal one. Ever since we passed the 14th amendment in the wake of civil war, it had been used as the basis for lots of social equality. Tao W is questioning whether it is wise.
"This is, of course, where it gets a bit tricky. There’s one good general rule, however: If a private school gets federal funding, it can’t discriminate against a student based on his race, sex (unless it’s a single-sex school), national origin and religion. If a private school doesn’t receive federal financial assistance, it’s free to pick-and-choose who attends the school.
There’s one big exception, though. Usually, that is."
@Ting Dai 我知道现在在美国和西方的 anti-discrimination law 。但存在的东西不一定合理。比如约50年前，美国政府的规模只是现在的 5%，这不但不合理，而且造成了政府微观管理国家和人民生活的各个方面。这是目前非常严重的问题，美国离 founding father 所建立的国家越来越远，现在倒有些像集权国家了。 美国是第一个建立在 individualism 的国家，以 individual right 为根本。说到国家的功能，应该只是保护个体权力不受侵犯，因为就性质而言，国家就是武力和枪。而这样的 force, 应该只是用于 retaliate(报复)，即如果有人侵犯别人（initiate force），政府就报复性的惩罚侵犯者。但政府不能 initiate force, 当个体权力没有受到侵犯，在这种情况下，政府就成了侵犯者了。制定 anti-discrimination law 就是这样一种情况，实际上，像私校有自己的招生办法，并没有侵犯什么人的权力。所以说，anti-discrimination law 是不道德的法，应该取缔。早些时候，我有一个 post, 谈及为什么政府无权禁止私人及企业歧视。
