[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't support affirmative action/discrimination in admission to educational institutions. Set up a good standard and stick to it regardless of race/ethnicity.[/quote] The privileged will always protect their status. There are few black, hispanic or low-income students at TJ. The lack of balance in TJ admissions ought to make you ask whether the current standard is a good one. However, like the privileged on Wall Street, you defend a system that elevates the interests of the few over the needs of the many. Get rid of TJ and replace it with quality schools for all. We are the 99%. [/quote] Why should non-hispanic/black/low income students who happened to be born in a little bit wealthier family, smart, and hard working get punished? If current standard is not good somehow, fix it. However, it shouldn't punish anyone just because of their race or because their parents are rich. Admission to public educational institutions should be based on academics. I don't care if they decide to get rid of TJ, but no discrimination based on race.[/quote]
