[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good for Phil Ting for carrying this legislation, CA voters for voting for it, and Gov Newsom for signing it. USC (which has the highest number of legacy admissions, followed by Stanford) said they would comply with the new law.

USC and Stanford will comply.

It will be embarrassing to be the lone private institution in CA not complying with the law.[/quote]

It is really a stupid law.

No one cares if a walmart grandkid gets a spot as long as the walmart offspring donates a new gym to their alma mater.

Once again, California leads the way on stupid.[/quote]

I care.
[b]Education opportunity[/b] is a very important fundamental foundation and building block of our society and country.
A Walmart grandkid should compete equally and fairly with other kids.

That's more of a latter 20th century concept.

The first public schools only admitted white boys who could pass an exam. Elitism in our schools existed long before we were a country.

I agree that it's unfair, but it's really a modern, progressive concept.
