The Surprising Details About Sonia Sotomayor’s College Past That You Won’t Find in Her New Book

Sotomayor’s time at Princeton takes up much of the book, but her account of her alma mater left a lot out, especially her involvement in left-wing politics and an explicitly anti-white club. In fact, despite her self-description as “more as a mediator than a crusader” on racial and political issues, the archives of Princeton show that it was just the opposite. According to The Daily Princetonian, Sotomayor even “helped shape” Princeton’s affirmative action practices and used her position as a student judge to advance a left-wing agenda.

Accion Puertorriquena

As a sophomore, Sotomayor, then co-chairman of the Puerto Rican student group Accion Puertorriquena, filed an April 1974 complaint with the New York office of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) demanding that Princeton do a better job recruiting Latino administrators, faculty, and students. She delivered not one, but two letters to the president of the university calling for explicit quotas and timetables for Latino students, faculty, and administrators—and got results.

“Over the next few years, the University established new hiring and recruitment practices that gradually changed the ethnic makeup of the faculty as well as the student body,” wrote The Daily Princetonian in 2009.

Sotomayor demanded more Latinos on campus. She condemned Princeton’s administrators for showing “a total absence of regard, concern, and respect” for Latinos and accused them of organizing “an attempt—a successful attempt so far—to relegate an important cultural sector of the population to oblivion” in a letter to the editor in May 10, 1974.

Sotomayor saw an “institutional pattern of discrimination” at Princeton. Later in a 1996 speech, she described the complaint as Princeton’s “affirmative action failures” and the ensuing pro-racial preferences as results. “A short time later, Princeton hired its first Hispanic assistant dean of students.”

Such pressure tactics were controversial on campus. The Daily Princetonian strongly editorialized against Sotomayor’s demand for quotas and timetables. “Affirmative Action should not mean positive efforts to reverse a historical pattern of minority under-representation at the expense of traditional standards of excellence,” it wrote on Feb. 17, 1975. [Emphasis in original]. The editorial page doubted how the school could guarantee proper racial proportions. “In many cases such data simply do not exist,” it noted and even called the HEW’s demand for more minorities on campus as “the arrogance of ignorance.”

Third World Center

While Sotomayor’s book mentioned her involvement with the Third World Center (TWC), she left out that the group’s politics were laced with anti-American and anti-white rhetoric. Its constitution and founding documents made this clear, as does a 1976 document from the TWC. “Oppression breeds resistance,” the students wrote in protest of the decision by Princeton University to reduce the TWC’s funding. “The history of the peoples of the Third World, who have suffered from U.S. Imperialism, and of the oppressed nationalities within the United States—Afro-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Chicanos, Asians, and Native Americans, has been a history of oppression and resistance.”

The TWC’s anti-white position was demonstrated in November 1984, when the group’s board demanded that non-white students should have the right to bar whites from their meetings on campus. They also demanded minorities-only meetings with the deans. (John Hurley, “Black students, university debate closed meeting policy,” The Daily Princetonian, November 29, 1984).

This was an outgrowth of the purpose of TWC, which was to teach minority students to “become more sensitive to the consequences of a long history of prejudice and discrimination,” according to its 1973-1974 annual report. The center’s purpose was “to provide a positive reflection” of minority students’ “cultural origins,” wrote Assistant Provost Conrad Snowden, including political panels.

One such speaker that Sotomayor’s group brought to campus was Puerto Rican Nationalist and Socialist, Manuel Maldonado-Denis, “The National Liberation of Puerto Rico.”

I have come from a colonized country, submitted to cultural assimilation and cultural aggression,” Maldonado-Denis told the students at TWC. He continued to accuse the United States of “dominating,” “fleecing” and “exploiting” Puerto Rico. The United States, he said, has always treated Puerto Rico and the other Latin American countries as “small children that must be taken by the hand.” “The only solution” Maldonado-Denis said at the lecture, “is through the establishment of national liberation and the establishment of socialism.”

The legacy of the Third World Center continued after Sotomayor graduated. In fact, future First Lady Michelle Obama would later serve on its board. Almost a decade later, the political tone of the TWC was expressed in the group’s 1984 constitution with the following language: “We define the term ‘Third World’ as those nations and people who have fallen victim to the oppression and exploitation of the world economic order,” wrote the preamble. “This definition includes the peoples of color in the United States, as they too are victims of a brutal and racist socio-economic structure perpetuated by those who still exploit such groups as Asians, Blacks, and Latinos and who still occupy the homelands of the Puerto Rican, Mexican, Native American, and Alaskan peoples. Therefore, we must seek to understand the historical and contemporary ramifications of oppression we are to liberate ourselves from economic and social chains which bind us.”

While careful in her book not to associate with the “down with whitey” attitudes of many Latino students, Sotomayor wasn’t so circumspect in a speech she gave before the TWC on November 7, 1996, entitled, “The Genesis and Needs of an Ethnic Identity.”

At Princeton, I began a lifelong commitment to identifying myself as a Latina, taking pride in being Hispanic, and in recognizing my obligation to help my community reach its fullest potential in this society,” she said. “Accion Puertorriquena, the Puerto Rican group on campus then, and the Third World Center… provided me with the anchor I needed to ground myself in this new and different world.” Sotomayor further praised the methods of Manuel del Valle (Princeton class of 1971) and her friend, Margarita Rosa (class of 1974) in establishing the TWC. They, she noted with approval, “had demonstrated and taken over University buildings” to persuade the Princeton to build TWC.

Student Judge

Another episode from Sotomayor’s Princeton days that goes unmentioned in her book concerns her time as a student judge on the discipline committee.

While Sotomayor’s defenders like to claim that she is empathetic and able to put aside her personal feelings when serving as a judge, the evidence shows otherwise – at least in her college years. Sotomayor was unable to maintain her objectivity while serving as a student judge in a 1976 case  involving eight students charged with breaking into and ransacking the room of two openly gay students who were pressuring Princeton to adopt pro-homosexual nondiscrimination policies. In a letter signed by Sotomayor and published in the Daily Princetonian on Feb. 27, 1976, the actions of the accused students were condemned as intimidation. The letter was published a month before the case was even heard. Sotomayor, according to two former students with knowledge of the case, demanded that the students be expelled.

Eventually the eight boys were reprimanded, given a two-year probation, and censured in their permanent file, a punishment which the two gay students thought was “too harsh.”

“Censure is a black mark that they will carry for the rest of their lives,” said Douglas S. Brown ’79, one of the gay students whose room was invaded. “I question the educational necessity for voting censure.”

Both Brown and the other student asked the college for leniency for their assailants. “They’re well aware of the seriousness of their actions. I’m convinced that they’re sorry,” he said. “I feel for them as people, and I respect them very much,” he continued. “Brown suggested the controversy which surrounded the incident may have adversely affected the offenders’ chances for a fair hearing,” wrote The Daily Princetonian. “‘There was more to it than just the merits of the case —the supercharged atmosphere, so much strong language.’”

Empathy from the self-described “wise Latina” apparently didn’t go very far.

      Ultimately it is the GOP who is to blame for not opposing this racist geek, and Kagen and Ginsberg are just as bad, both of which got through confirmation easily.

      On the other hand, look at the trouble the Dems gave Bork who is nothing more or less than a strong conservative. Certainly he was not the same types of anti-American haters as Kagen, Sotomayer and Ginsberg.

      The GOP like a few poeople on here want to come across as morally superior and overlook racist, biased monsters who now control the country for fear of appearing “racist” whatever that’s supposed to mean.

      Only spineless opposition could guarantee the kind of leftist filth that has assumed power right now.

      Only civil war or secession will solve the problem. It’s gone too far to be corrected.

      Jesus had twelve apostles and one of them plotted to kill Him. One apostate Jew out of twelve. Extrapolate that ratio. Balaam is another example. There have always been apostate Jews, and some of them have done great harm. The reason is that both good and evil come to the Jew first because of the Abrahamic covenant:

      “… but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” (Rom. 2: 8-10)

      Jesus has not forgotten the “lost sheep of the house of Israel.” He clearly stated that “salvation is of the Jews,” and in his perfect time He will bring the nation back to the fold. Yeah, some people sell out to Satan. Balaam, Judas and Soros happen/ed to be Jews. Barack, RP and his zealots are gentiles.

Yet they have no problem with the actual racists on their side. If their are racists on the right I don’t see them doing anything to discriminate against anyone ever period. On the other hand every time I turn on the news I see more of my childrens future being destroyed by these white hating liberals. I for one have had enough of it and if I am going to continue to be called racist then I may as well become one. It is time we start educating our children about these things and teaching them the truth so they can grow up to turn all of this around. Send them to law school and get them into the courts so they may one day return this country back to being great. And if these people want to live in a **** hole give them a ticket back to whatever dump they came from.

And we only need to look at their OWN HISTORY to see that this ENMITY PREDATED THE SHOAH!

      You need to be less simplistic in your analysis, or at least realize the age-old blame tactics used by totalitarians to keep their regimes alive.

      The uninformed/disinformed Jew believes Hitler was a Christian. Hitler, of course, masqueraded as one for the same reason Hussein does, i.e., to hide his true satanic nature and hurt God’s people, both Jew and gentile. Also, are you aware that the GOVERNMENT of Israel bestows the honorific “Righteous Among the Nations” to gentiles who risked/lost their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust? Does that seem hateful to you?

      “… you should no longer endanger yourselves, your families, your religion, or your country just to be polite or considerate or “tolerant” towards a people who have SWORN IN ENMITY to work forever to DESTROY the “kingdoms of the gentiles” so that they can have a “world of their own”.”

      “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,” said Judge Sotomayor

      And exactly what “rich experiences” are we talking about, judge? Sounds that, from your past at Princeton, you’d like to do some discriminating based on your “rich experiences”, especially if the one being discriminated against is, especially, a white male.

      Those racist words disqualified Sotomayor from the bench. She said them, not me, which proved to me that she “is” what she supposedly hates. Sotomayer believes you can legislate “equality” from the bench. Her “rich experiences” have not yet taught her their is no such thing as “equality”.

Such a shame that young people were taught and encouraged to dwell on past injustices rather than to seek the new opportunities that were then available them through Affirmative Action which was bipartisan . Odd, because past immigrants sought America for a better life and they embraced the American culture. Ever since the Lefty radicals of the 60s made their mark , there has been an underlying hatred for whites, capitalism, the military, and the American culture . A very damaging and purposeful campaign resulting in the anger and division we see today. All of Obama’s ” change” rhetoric is just part of this legacy which, unfortunately, has a deep layer of anger and hate woven within it.

      Your right on about early immigrants that came to this country. There was discrimination,biased opinions, and name calling against Italians, Germans, Polish, and others to name a few. These new immigrants came here legally through immigration, they worked and provided the means to bring their family here, belonged to churches, helped within the communities, and eventually built businesses creating jobs for others. They didn’t cry about what they didn’t have but worked to better themselves and thank God to be in the greatest country in the world.
      Now many look for what they can get free, are angry that its not handed to them, many bring their crime across borders, and become the radicals in colleges and universities. Unbelievable.
      I won’t waste money reading her book on her perceived wrongs of the US. Maybe Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, or like countries would have been there to embrace these so-called immigrants as they felt entitled to, don’t you think??

      Well stated. By watering down out society based on merit and replacing it with a society based upon the herd mentality, aka Communism. That is why lefties are cowards by themselves but feel powerful when out numbering you. When they are out numbered they shrink into the shadows and plan nefarious deeds. Very sad to always be focusing on the negatives. Look acceptance scores for colleges have had to drop because minorities refuse to knuckle down and apply themselves, some do most don’t, then demand scores be lowered so they can get in. Heck I did not score well enough for Ivy league and could not get accepted to schools I wanted. What did I do? Made do with what was available, damn whiners.

      Also sounds like afirmative action. If a university doesn’t have a high number of Latino staff, maybe there aren’t enough who qualify? Maybe there aren’t enough students capable of passing the entrance test? You should be more interested in the grade schools/high schools teaching well enough for them to GET into prestigious colleges. I self taught myself Algebra, slept through the class. Now I’m teaching my son, because the school system has failed him.

      It does not matter what faith you profess, what gender you are, or what color skin you have. The members of the Supreme Court are supposed to utilize the same logic and reason on every case.

      Any judge that cannot do that doesn’t belong on the court. Choosing one judge over another for superficial reasons (such as religion or skin color or sex versus the percentage of populace) is some form of hate to which I do not know the name.

      I do not care if the next nominee is a red haired, agnostic, former Marine or a brown skinned, former Jewish leader so long as the nominee judges on intellect, reason, and the constitution instead of emotion, religion, or ethnic background.

      MAKO: I totally agree with you. And I hope that these SC individuals , whatever their political bias, will rise to this responsibility. I do worry, however, because I think people like Barack Obama have been so brainwashed and twisted by their mentors and are so lacking in basic moral learning that they may not recognize their own bias when they confront it in a legal matter. Have we lost the old Judeo -Christian moral code which formed the basis of our legal system ? Are they now more moored in promoting a political agenda than in interpreting the Constitution which was based on that old code of moral values ?

      Groundzero. I am Catholic. Pelosi is Catholic. Romney is Mormon. Obama is Protestant. Soros is Jewish. So what? Many who claim a religion do not live by it’s tenets. That has been true for a very long time. The issue is what do they really believe and how can these beliefs be discerned in their actions? Please stop the ad hominum attacks. We on the Right need to take back the moral high ground and we do that by dismantling the Liberal argument with facts and reason. Sotomayor is clearly a Socialist. This evidenced by her past activities. So we use the power of facts to highlight her Socialist decisions. Once we let the Liberals game us into playing by their rules (inaccuracies, lies and personal attacks) we lose.

    “……….filed an April 1974 complaint with the New York office of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) demanding that Princeton do a better job recruiting Latino administrators, faculty, and students. ”

    And the reason she has that kind of despicable attitude is because….like most non-whites….she concerns herself with and promotes all matters that have to do with her tribal group, over and above matters that concern the welfare and betterment of the country as a whole.

    Multiculturalism is a failure, and we didn’t need the German Chancellor Angela Merkel to point that out. It has made this country into a boarding house of contentious groups, each one concerned only with his/her own group, constantly fighting and complaining about one matter or another in their never-ending struggle to gain dominance and control for their own people.

    The Supreme Court is most paricularly corrupt. It has been laced with people appointed under Clinton and Obama who look more like a side-show of freaks rather than an extinguished free-thinking learned body, and everyone of them…like their tribal members….despise White Americans and denigrate them and degrade them at every opportunity.

    And worse even than they are are the gullible, do-gooder white fools in this country who take the abuse without so much as a peep due to their spineless lack of courage.
