Good news on racism

Submitted by ellen on Sat, 11/15/2008 - 6:57pm

Good news from The Wall Street Journal:

One promise of [Obama's] victory is that perhaps we can put to rest the myth of racism as a barrier to achievement in this splendid country.

In related news, Marie Curie's 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics put to rest any myths about biases against women in science.

Oh, come on. Universities

Oh, come on. Universities didn't stop accepting women in their science, math, and physics departments. That doesn't make sense. If the classes are full, they could simply stop taking any more students, male AND female.

See related news regarding the infamous 1983 deluge of women applicants to physics departments after Sally Ride became the first American woman in space in 1983. It seems the flood of applications was so great, universities had to stop accepting women in their science, math, and physics departments.
