GOOD TO KNOW: Apparently, having more women and “people of color” as traffic engineers is the No. 1 way to prevent pedestrian traffic fatalities. In Bloomberg today, a UConn law professor argues: “First, we need to diversify the people who codify road design. [The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials], the code councils and the federal agency writing the [Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices] are dominated by white, male engineers who are trained to prioritize driver speed. We need women, people of color, transit users and bike-pedestrian advocates to bring new perspectives and cultural competencies into the conversation.”

LOL, sorry, I got nothin to add that wouldn't make this less ridiculous.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
“I am a no vote on the floor, on all non diversity nominees,” Duckworth said as reported by Fox News’ Chad Pergram. “You know, I will vote for racial minorities and I will vote for LGBTQ. But anybody else I’m not voting for.”

The Democrats are bringing back segregation!

I saw that story about Duckworth and was appalled and frustrated. We need the most qualified people for their positions, period. It should not matter what their personal preferences are and refusing to vote for someone competent is absurd, just like refusing to pass legislation that would be for the best for the citizens just so you can stick it to the other party is infuriating. I'm so sick of partisan obstructionism.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
