We need the government OUT of the “education business.”

They already consider race. It’s called “Affirmative Action”, Quotas and other “level-the-playing-field” tactics.

Progressives want to turn the clock back about a hundred years or so.

Racists ALWAYS consider race.

Here’s a novel idea. Just test the students. If the students pass the test, let them in the college. If they fail, send them back to school until they can pass the test. Race shouldn’t enter into it.

If California goes ahead with this, white students will go to other colleges and let the other institutions turn into ghettos.

It’s needed to get people who are not prepared for college into college, get them racking up student debt in remedial courses, and let them wander aimlessly while they take “Introduction to post-testicular anthropomorphic androgynous women’s studies” or some such poo poo.

Are we going back in time?

Has something happened with the solar system?

Has the earth’s magnetic field gone squirrely?

I’m confused.

Once again, the assembly is overturning the will of the people. California deserves what happens to them because they keep electing these SOBs to screw them at every turn.

To conservative Californians, I make this statement: The natural beauty of California is not worth the economic pain that the state government is inflicting on you. Get out while you still can, or accept servitude with the sun and surf.

The California Assembly has approved a bill that would allow the state's public universities to consider race, gender and other demographic characteristics when they admit students.

I'm guessing that this would not allow a state-sponsored "White Male Only" University.

Apparently they never heard Martin Luther King's "I have a dream..." speech.

Democratic Assemblyman Ed Hernandez, who introduced the bill, says the legislation is needed to address the education gap in California. Currently, the state's black and Latino students trail whites and Asians in college attainment.

Let's put aside any opinions of racial preferences and look logically at this alleged rationale.

Currently, thousands of colleges and universities consider race in their admissions policies. Doing so has not closed the gap in degree attainment, and there is good evidence that it has made it worse. Mismatching students with schools is a recipe for causing them to drop out.

RE :”The California Assembly has approved a bill that would allow the state's public universities to consider race, gender and other demographic characteristics when they admit students. The bill, AB2047, passed on a 44-24 vote Thursday and now moves to the Senate.

This is the world turned upside down. Rand Paul was crucified for saying that the federal government should NOT (theoretically) have the power to tell privately owned businesses who they must serve. This a constitutionally based argument that is not politically popular.

But here we have CA state government claiming the right to discriminate who they serve based on race using tax dollars. Upside down world.

Just more Democrats trying to legislate racism into acceptance. Anytime you benefit one group, you deny another group...and when it’s done on the basis of race, no matter what group you favor, you are partaking in racism against another.

By 2023 half of the children 18 and under in this country will be minorities as defined by the USG.

Uh haven’t we just seen the bad effects of affirmative action education and job help in our incompetent President? Do we want more of the same or do we want people to rise and fall on their own rightfully earned achievements?
