One Florida Initiative is a Success
Just over two years ago, Governor Bush unveiled the One Florida Initiative. The initiative was designed to replace Florida’s system of race-based quotas, set-asides, and preferences. Unfair admissions policies based on race were replaced with greater outreach and recruitment as well as an increased emphasis on student performance.
Last August, the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the University of Georgia’s race-based admissions policies, a ruling that applies to Florida. In their ruling, the 11th Circuit praised tools used in One Florida such as “recruiting, advertising, financial incentives to admittees from less advantaged homes, and other outreach strategies,” and “innovative strategies in the admissions process itself, ranging from income-based selection to guaranteeing admission to the top percentage of graduating seniors in every high school in the state.” Governor Bush’s foresight in implementing One Florida prevented a court-ordered last-minute scramble to make Florida’s admission policies race-neutral. As a result of this court decision, there’s no turning back.
The One Florida Initiative, which has now been in place for two full years, is making a positive impact on Florida’s high school students by better preparing them for college. By raising standards and partnering with high schools, universities, and the College Board, we are seeing results in the form of higher student achievement. In addition, Florida’s executive agencies have increased spending with certified minority business by 160%.
Today, members of liberal political organizations and a “mildly talented” Hollywood actor came to Tallahassee to again voice their opposition to the plan which has proven successful in increasing state spending with minority businesses and ensuring that there are more minority students enrolled in Florida’s universities than ever before. While the opponents to the plan long for the days of quotas and set-asides, the Bush-Brogan team will continue to look to the future to a state where all students have every opportunity to reach their greatest potential.

I certainly hope that it does (though it likely will not, it is probably too subtle for Mr. Baldwin). My point was that this one reference is fine (that IS what I said), but he should leave it alone after this, lest he give the impression that he really gives a good G--d--n about what that idiot thinks!!
An opinion expressed the way that is worded is not offensive, IMHO. The media I am sure is siding with Alec, and I bet they have expressed his opinion full tilt, and to the left, am I correct???
Yes I do. Referring to him as a "mildly talented actor" I think puts too much pressure on him. He'll never be able to live up to that label.

Good for them. Actually, I think that's a bit KIND. hehe
