[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, enough.

Leave it to the education experts to wade through. Education should never be a political issue and maybe the states need to deal with their own special issues complying with the federal regulations already on them.

We already have politics over income levels as an barrier to higher education and it breaks my heart.

Enough.[/quote]

Affirmative action inextricably links education with politics. I agree with you that we should not play political games with education. I'd be in favor of abolishing affirmative action from education altogether. Education should be a merit-based process. The color of your skin should not matter. The fact that someone is Asian should not cause them to lose a spot to a black person. [/quote]

I'm with you!

Consider this: AA was designed to give the descendants of black Americans, who had suffered under Jim Crow and slavery, special consideration. Many people agreed that though imperfect, this was a justifiable policy for a finite number of years.

Then, activists expanded it to include women. OK.

Then, the justification shifted to "diversity", which we're told is unquestionably good.  Suddenly, recent immigrants from Mexico are given preference over native born whites, even though there is no wrong to right.

Now, finally, I read (on twitter and elsewhere) that capitalism, imperialism, and settler colonialism are the unforgivable original sins of whiteness, and America is a racist, sexist, genocidal, patriarchal fraud squatting on stolen land. It is invalid and rotten to the core -- as is whiteness -- and it's pay back time big time.[/quote]

It’s a very dangerous time, these people hold the same opinions as the elites in Germany circa early 1930. In a decade they had their racial inferiors in gas chambers. We are but ten years away (if they are given power) from these radical insane leftwing loons putting us in gas chambers. I’m not exaggerating, there rhetoric is very honest with open remarks about what their end goal is.[/quote]
