"Affirmative action is the key to Latino educational advancement."

I wonder if some Latinos will feel highly insulted by this.

Another unintendend consequence of affirmative action: the program can get the students admitted, but it can't compel them to study or even to attend class! And many once admitted do virtually nothing and eventually "drop out."

Latinos will be the majority in TX within 10 years. Will the policies change then?

Fear not; like everything a Democrat utters, interpretation is subject to the "it depends on what the definition of 'is' is" standard; "is" can be construed to mean "is not," as it would have to be to make the aformentioned statement valid.

Not at all. They're laughing their butts off about it. They consider it a sign of weakness that this went through. In their country they sure as hell wouldn't do it.
