The Truth: Lost but Not Found
Trounson Rebecca, a Los Angeles Times education reporter who often seems to get her own priorities backward, wrote a shallow account of Mr. Blocks first exposition in Los Angeles. Between Ms. Rebeccas editorializing and the new Chancellors fluffy, feel-good philosophizing, it was difficult to glean from the story that the CEO of one of Americas important universities was soberly unveiling his agenda. It sounded more like the minutes of a MoveOn.org meeting. Without qualification, Ms. Rebecca flogged one of her favorite concepts as if it were fact. She argued that minorities are under-represented on the UCLA campus. Ms. Rebecca, an unreliable reporter throughout her stay at what Larry Elder calls the Democratic Times of Los Angeles, linked this daffy notion to Mr. Blocks agenda. What is an under-represented minority? Does Ms. Rebecca employ any Bulgarians or Albanians at her household? When I wasnt looking, did Mayor (I want to thank all illegal immigrants for voting me into office)Villaraigosa of Los Angeles make it a rule that a certain number of Mexicans, blacks and Filipinos have to be enrolled at UCLA or he will shut it down? Oh, I forgot. He is not the Education Mayor anymore. Now he can spend his nights ferrying new illegal voters across the border.
