University of Iowa Brings Back Racial Segregated Dorms

[From article]
Progressivism is coming full circle with the arrival of racial segregation in the student dormitories at the University of Iowa.
At the dawn of progressivism, eugenics was meant to improve the human race by discouraging “inferior” races from reproducing, as Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger intended. The founding generation of progs had no difficulty identifying who those inferiors were, either: blacks, Asians, and basically anybody that wasn’t like the people in charge in the United States a century and more ago. Progressive President Woodrow Wilson introduced segregation to the armed services.
All of this was held up as an effort to improve society. And now, the same motivations are at work in progressive citadels like the University of Iowa.
[. . .]
In an effort to improve its recruitment and retention of minority students, the University of Iowa is planning to offer a new living-learning community this fall that is open only to students who identify as black or African-American.

Yes, “identity-based community” sounds much better than “racially segregated dormitory.” And of course, as bigots always say, "it's for their own good."
