You may have noticed there is no "affirmative action" ruling in sports. That's because it's obvious to everyone that minority players, usually black, are exceptionally talented in that realm and in fact rule the roost. So what is affirmative action in education implying? That many black and Hispanic students aren't smart enough to succeed in school, or life, without a handicap? (Nobody seems to care about all the
white students who are less than college-qualified.)
How insulting. Not to mention scary!
Maybe if lower education did a better job early on, more disadvantaged students could seamlessly move on to higher education without getting a leg up. A large part of the problem is the policy of high school teachers who pass minority students on to the next grade, despite their poor reading and math skills, to avoid being seen as racist.
