And while we are on the subject, I had a chance today to hit the affirmative action wackos in the chops without fear of reprisal.

We were discussing a program we would like to run and an administrator (gasp) said: I don't think affirmative action is doing much.

I live in the inner-city and said: none of the people where I live benefit one little teeny tiny bit from affirmative action. They don't have the backgrounds, they don't have the money and they don't have the support. They can't get in the door of the Affirmative Action Express, much less get a seat.

And no one said a d*mned thing. You don't get moments like that very often in higher education.

Felt good.

Thank the Lord that the Slimes has decided to cut back on their paper and it's size............. it will require more pages to cover the bottom of the bird cage and to wrap the fish ............ but so what.

And how did they define "comparable" children? Was it done by ethnicity? By parents' SES [socioeconomic status]? By child IQ? By child's height, weight, eye color, first letter of family surname or other suchlike? More information [than is provided] is needed to either accept or to refute their conclusions.
