Did Bush Know About Bob Jones' Racist Policies? Towards the end of the South
Carolina campaign, reports had George W. Bush saying he did not know about
Bob Jones University's racist policies until sometime after he went there and
gave his speech. That would make Bush the only candidate not aware of the
school's racist policies, an unlinkely event, particularly since Bob Jones'
president trashed his father in highly-publicized statements not many years
ago and we are often reminded of Junior's obsessive loyality to his family.
Since Dubya is now willing to say he is against such policies, the
implication is that he would not have gone to Bob Jones or, at the very
least, he would have said something negative about the policies if he had
known. Yet, last Wednesday the AP's Ron Fournier reported that Bush knew
about these policies in advance of his speech. In fact, he was warned about
the consequences of giving a speech at racist Bob Jones and he went anyway.
Fournier: "He visited Bob Jones University, a hotbed of South Carolina
conservatism. Some advisers urged him not to go, fearing the institution's
segregationist history would become a general election campaign issue � along
with other recent efforts to tack to the right." Bush's response through
spokesperson Mindy Tucker implied votes were more important than both family
loyalty and anti-racist principles: ""From our point of view, this is a place
where there are a lot of South Carolina conservative voters." If Bush were to
disavow advance knowledge of Bob Jones' racist policies in less conservative
states, let's hope that he'll be reminded of Fournier's AP report in order to
set the record straight. --Politex, 2/20/00
