<p>Read what Senator James Webb wrote in the Wall Street Journal last week:
*"Where should we go from here? Beyond our continuing obligation to assist those African-Americans still in need, government-directed diversity programs should end.</p>
<p>Nondiscrimination laws should be applied equally among all citizens, including those who happen to be white. The need for inclusiveness in our society is undeniable and irreversible, both in our markets and in our communities. Our government should be in the business of enabling opportunity for all, not in picking winners. It can do so by ensuring that artificial distinctions such as race do not determine outcomes.*</p>
<p>Too bad Roughead disagrees.</p>

<p>You can call it whining - I’ll call it “making sure that non-diverse USNA candidates know exactly what they’re up against if they plan on a Naval officer’s career” - butting heads with an artificially created roadblock based on their (lack of) skin color.</p>
