[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no way this would pass, right? Applies to any institution that participates in federal student aid programs, and includes the option of a waiver for HBCUs. Is that even constitutional?

Why would the Democrats do this juuuust at the point when increasing numbers of POC will start to benefit from legacy preferences? It's like they're determined to lose my (POC) vote.[/quote]

If you are a single issue voter who thinks the biggest problem is that the democrats might ban legacy preference and are will to vote republican over THIS issue, your an idiot who hasn’t been paying attention. The ideology and general hate for minorities is significantly worse in the Republican Party.

I say this as a POC who graduated from an Ivy and has teenagers getting ready to head to college in the next 3-4 years. Okay, legacy preference might be gone; sometimes you have to give a little for the betterment of others. Sure, there are a handful of minority legacies but the overwhelming majority are white and wealthy. [/quote]
