Will Kansas City Discrimination Suit Really Damage Schulte?

When asked to define "paradox" at Genius School, Bart Simpson answered, "Damned if you do, and damned if you don't."  Acting City Manager Troy Schulte knows exactly that feeling.  He and the City of Kansas City were on the losing end  of a $2.6 million reverse discrimination suit filed by two white workers who had recently been laid off.  

Star columnist Yael Abouhalkah insists that the loss "damages the public standing of Acting City Manager Troy Schulte."  More likely, the loss will help educate taxpayers that in the Orwellian world of discrimination law even the best meaning people can find themselves on the wrong end of a law suit.  

Mayor Funkhouser and wife Gloria learned this the hard way a few years ago.  Now that Abouhalkah has spanked candidate Mike Burke for trying to pin this suit on Funkhouser and Deb Hermann, maybe he will come to see that the Funkhousers were not to blame for the last one.
