SACRAMENTO — When my family moved from northwest Ohio to pricey Southern California, we could afford an entry level house but couldn’t also spring for private-school tuition for the kids. So we scoured the test-score databases, looking for those neighborhoods where home values were reasonable and public schools were tops.
Given the focus on schools, it will surprise no one that we settled in a city with a majority Asian-American population.

Could you imagine the reaction if some white California legislators made a similar statement?

“When my family moved from northwest Ohio to pricey Southern California,”
I have heard of stupid moves, but if you did this, you deserve what you get.
Well, they went to all that effort, and that’s not fair.
What about all those families that can’t [won’t] go to all that effort? Don’t they deserve good schools too?

One thing I remember from law school admissions was it was strictly a numbers game, no interview, a simple formula: your LSAT score and your grade point average from college then they put you on a list and picked the top 75. If someone turned them down, they went to number 76. No race card, no legacies.
Same with the finals, you took a test under a number, the professor didn’t know if you were black or white, male or female, your name your initials, nothing.
Sometimes you have no choice. I have had to move because of jobs to places I didn’t like..................
and in the words of our good friend, William Shakespeare via Hamelet, "aye, there's the rub."
especially those in the military... there are a lot of US Marines in Southern California...
Lots and lots of Asians have moved into Orange County in Southern California and the high school where my children went has gone form 8th in the country to below 50.
In the sports area, they tend not to do anything outside of golf and tennis teams so fielding a winning football team is almost impossible.
That’s the thing...it’s a no-brainer that it’s okay to deprive some high achieving white kid based on quotas. But try to go there and gee all of a sudden you’re a racist.
It’s not the football team you should be worried about............................
Women and minorities hardest hit.
When, according to the AD, “half the student body does grass”. Sports keep the boys out of the drug scene, (sadly only mostly)
No apparent concern for academic achievement at all! Diversity is the end-all be-all of the agenda, dumb everyone down to the same level. I doubt Hernandez could even understand how his comment gives the game away, much less the ultimate repercussions of his philosophy.
That’s the point. Could you imagine what would happen if white California legislators made the comment “we would never support a policy that we believed would negatively impact our children,” concerning something such as illegal immigration? They would immediately be branded with the “R” word.
I hope that one day whites will stand up for their children.
San Diego Democratic Sen. Ben Hueso said in published reports that “Prop. 209 creates a barrier for people of color to access higher education.”
So he’s saying that basing college admission on academic ability creates a barrier for people of color? He sounds like a White Supremacist.

One of the “stars” on our HS football team was stupid enough to be smoking weed on the roof of the high school(next to the ventilation system). He got caught and word was he was going to be missing some games-—it never happened. Sports ARE more important than consequence.
