YES, IT HAPPENS – AT 11:14 A.M. ET:  Bigotry and discrimination are wrong.  I stress the word "all." Reverse discrimination, favoring one group over another to "improve society" is just as wrong.  Some innocent person or group gets hurt.   Note the story coming out of ABC.  From Page Six: 

WABC/Channel 7 bosses Dave Davis and Camille Edwards are out amid two discrimination lawsuits from employees.

Last fall, WABC sports reporter Laura Behnke filed a discrimination lawsuit against Davis and Edwards, claiming she wasn’t promoted to the main sports reporter position because she is a white woman. Behnke later left WABC in New York when her contract expired.

Matthew Lamattina, another employee, filed a separate discrimination lawsuit against Edwards last October.

Now, Page Six has learned that both Davis and Edwards have left the company.

WABC announced Davis’s retirement Thursday in a news release.

In Davis’ departing memo to staff, which was obtained by Page Six, the WABC president explained that he wouldn’t be working another day.

“Having decided this, I think it best to move on quickly,” Davis wrote in his email to staff. “No time like the present. Leaving a place and people you care for is always difficult, but this is the right time.”

COMMENT:   I know people who've been victims of reverse discrimination, and it's a bitter pill.  Some of them worked most of their lives to qualify for a position, only to be turned down because they don't fit within a quota.  That is not a way to solve society's problems.
