Criminals Are So Downtrodden (sniff)

This from "Your Tax Dollars at Waste" (editorial) in today's New York Post:

"The [New York] state Senate has earmarked $10,000 to finance a study by ex-cons to determine whether state laws are racist.

[....]

"The funding, sponsored by Brooklyn Democrat Eric Adams, will go to the Center for NuLeadership on Urban Solutions at CUNY's Medgar Evers College -- a program 'designed and developed by formerly incarcerated professionals.'

"The sheep-skinned ex-cons are interested in whether laws, including -- no surprise -- those dealing with criminal justice, 'have [a] negative impact on racial minorities,' a director at the center told The Post's Carl Campanile."

The Post's editorial response?

"We'd have thought their experience would be better put to use studying the 'negative impact' on minority communities brought about by, say, crime."

Classic.
