Fire departments are supposed to fight fires. Schools and colleges are supposed to educate. Many performed so poorly that a bootleg video of some women falling over ladders they could not carry was widely distributed for laughs, The police department found many women were not strong enough to operate the triggers on their guns. The Navy is still stinging over a high profile crash and the groundig of other women pilots who many critics said were held to lower safety standards. The Marine Corps is taking heat for a memo which vows to make their officer corps mirror the national population rather than just promoting the best.

Nondiscrimination used to mean equal standards. Then some courts changed it to mean whatever preferences it took to get equal representation. How soon they forget that the history of the battle against discrimination was fought not with diversity quotas, but by deliberately staking out ethnic niches.
