Letters to the Editor: Is affirmative action a fair way to address racism in America? (via latimesopinion )
The six Supreme Court justices who voted to outlaw affirmative action in college admissions live in a bubble, not the real world.
As the law was being drafted, Rep. John Rankin of Mississippi ensured that the programs would be administered at the state, not the federal, level. Thus, the benefits of college tuition and low-cost home loans, among others, were much more difficult for Black veterans to obtain, further institutionalizing the inequity that continues to this day.It is rather disingenuous of columnist Robin Abcarian to be so incensed by the Supreme Court’ ruling against affirmative action in college admissions.
The rise in the charter school movement and school choice programs will give minority children an opportunity for a better education. When they apply for college admission, they will be judged solely by their ability and not at all by the color of their skin.Your coverage of the Supreme Court’s affirmative action ruling has been spot on. Little will change in the college admissions process as a result.
