Preferential Treatment

My Liberal thinking friend Linda McDonald wrote an opinion in the Patriot Ledger a short time ago regarding minority and woman owned businesses. Although the specifics of her editorial were more about the unfairness of adding disabled veterans to the list of disadvantaged businesses, I commented in disagreement with the entire premise of giving an advantage to “certain” businesses. In my mind giving an advantage to some over others is itself, discrimination. Preferential treatment, when not based on qualifications is wrong. As far as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ “documented” history of discrimination against minority and woman owned businesses, I would be very interested to see it.

Bigot

One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ. The Wahey Boys are big on education.

One only needs to read some of the commentary contained on this web site to see that the underlying message is that education supersedes policy-making. Our belief is that, in most instances, bad behavior has been learned and can only be corrected by teaching proper behavior. Call us bigots if you want.
