One definition of "Social Justice"

Social Justice: Abandoning "equality before the law" in favor of legal decisions intended to produce equal outcomes for members of "protected classes".

Producing results like these.

Because we would not want to suggest that there might be reasons that black students in some neighborhoods actually exhibit behavior different from their white or Asian counterparts. That might make some people feel bad.  Far better to increase racial tensions to the point of violence in an effort to enforce equal treatment of groups, rather than equal treatment of individuals.

Then we can introduce a big, ineffective, court-mandated federal program to fix each problem created by the quest for "social justice".  Leading to more government jobs.  So it's all good.  Civil society retreats as government expands, but who needs civil society?
