yes they can!!

we did it here in Washington STate and you Texans can do it too!

This is a state matter and the SC decision (or lack of one ) did not say you had to have affirmative action, it only said you could have it....

now you Texans....get busy....

we conservatives may be a minority but a solid one if each of us would just get out there and vote !

Wouldn't that jeopardize federal funding, though?

Not that I'm saying we wouldn't want to do without out it, but I'm sure all schools in Texas are beholden to the federal government to some degree. I wonder if federal funding is conditioned on having an affirmative action program?
