Conservatives urged to launch legal campaigns defending white men
The column argues that the left has built a legal system that penalizes white men and calls on the right to create a similar law-focused strategy.
According to the piece, a legal and bureaucratic framework established by progressive forces has long encouraged universities, corporations and government agencies to sort applicants by race and sex. Although civil-rights statutes like Title VII apply to everyone, affirmative-action rules, diversity quotas and related compliance measures have created strong incentives to favor certain demographic groups. The author notes that institutions fear lawsuits, negative publicity and regulatory scrutiny, leading them to adopt practices that disadvantage white men.
He argues that the conservative side need not hold more DEI panels, but should instead assemble lawyers willing to use litigation to make discrimination against white men financially punitive. The column concludes that equal protection will not enforce itself without a comparable legal push from the right.
