Class privilege is the product of quick-fix social remedies that assuage one group at the expense of another. In America's slavery days, individual rights were ignored as one class of citizens was deemed superior to another. Today, as our courts rule along lines of race, gender, age, or sexual orientation, it should frighten Americans to see history turning back upon itself. Consider a woman who sues her employer for sexual discrimination. The courts rule in her favor.
Labor becomes a class to be protected against another class called management.
The alternative is an affirmation of individual rights when courts uphold personal liberties rather than promote the agenda of any one class of citizens. When the judiciary champions the rights of one man, or one woman, all Americans rejoice in the triumph of everyone's personal freedom. In the suburbs, white males with jobs and money are made to feel ashamed and guilty for unspecified offenses against women and inner city minorities. Read the Constitution as a living document and you read America's death certificate. Along with the judiciary, the executive and legislative branches must share the blame for a floundering America.
