OF THE
TIMES
Not surprisingly, such anti-white layoff policies have come up before. Teachers' unions are constantly trying to fire all the whites, and the courts are constantly having to remind them of the Constitution and the Civil Rights Act. (What's that called again? Oh yeah: PRECEDENT. Liberals love precedent!)
E.g.:
In 1972, the teachers' union in Jackson, Michigan demanded a similar "Whites First" layoff policy in its collective bargaining agreement.
Supreme Court: UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
In 1975, the Board of Education of the Township of Piscataway, NJ, tried the same thing.
Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (en banc): ILLEGAL!
Not to worry, racist teachers' unions! You can still HIRE 100% on the basis of race. But you can't FIRE someone on the basis of race: "It is clear that the language of Title VII is violated when an employer makes an employment decision based upon an employee's race."
Comment: Amen
