63. I disagree with Dean AND Sharpton.
Edited on Wed Oct-29-03 06:33 PM by poskonig
I'm a firm believer in merit. To take an example, if a college entrant isn't up to snuff, for instance, go to community college and then transfer in later if you can hack it.

Should we help people who are qualified but don't have the means to go to school, for instance? Yes. But taking in factors that are solely based on being poor or an ethnic minority is preposterous. Nobody cares if there are too many asians in our universities, but liberals freak when too many big bad evil people with white skin are attending.
