… is from page 126 of Thomas Sowell’s 2023 book, Social Justice Fallacies:

Many social policies help some groups while harming other groups. Affirmative action in academia manages to inflict harm on both the students who were not granted admissions, despite their qualifications, and also many of those students who were admitted to institutions where they were more likely to fail, even when they were fully qualified to succeed in other institutions.

DBx: Please join me in wishing Thomas Sowell a happy 95th birthday. May he have many more!
