[Interesting Times]

Equal treatment by race... now there's a concept.

[nhoward14]

The author apparently doesn't understand that affirmative action is demenaing to the ones it is supposed to help because there is the impression that the position wasn't earned.

[TLBSHOW]

He best do something! Conservatives are watching this one close!

Bennett advises that in the coming year a civil rights agenda should be crafted around three action items:

• Ending the double standard of racial preferences in higher education admissions: The Bush Administration and Members of Congress should immediately file an amicus brief with the Supreme Court on behalf of the plaintiffs in Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger.

Go President Bush!
I pray that the evil of racial quotas will be struck down!
U of M is a hideous liberal hive of vilinary and MUST be taught a lesson in what is right. Racial quotas are pure descrimination period. Diversity simplify for the sake of diversity is mindless.

[Larry Lucido]

This must be fake, Bush is RINO, he's no different than Gore, his supporters are Bushbots, etc., etc., etc.

[Rockitz]

To unnecessarily inject himself into this case is counter to his goal to enlarge the Republican party. He is wise enough not to touch this one.

[Elenya]

a step that would inject President Bush into the biggest affirmative action case in a generation.

I'm not holding my breath, but one can still hope.

[republicman]

If by chance Bush comes down on the side of racial preferences it is going to be very hard for some of us to forgive him.

[Arpege92]

This is a very sticky situation and knowing that the liberal media are ready to pounce on this story to use as a battering tool on republicans makes it far worse. However, this could also be used to prove (again) that the public schools are in need of a change. Democrats need an excuse to force our children into public schools and give minorities a message that they can get into college because of their race should their academic record not be up to par.

By committing this scam they then have the excuse needed to keep minorities in the dark and completly dependent on the government.

There is a long history with U of M and this case. It actually goes back to the late 80s. I went to high school with a guy who was rejected at U of M. He had a 3.8 GPA, model student, etc. Upon furhter investigation, another person at our high school, a minority, was accepted at Michigan. Their GPA? 3.0. His parents sued and lost.

I can see Bush pushing the Affirmative Access program in all colleges that receive federal funding.

[Torie]

several officials said Friday night he is unlikely to stay on the sidelines

If true, yippie. No matter how Bush comes out on the case, he needs to speak, on a case of this importance. He should not duck. That is what leadership is all about. If he does duck, I will think less of him even than if he supports the U of M position, and wades into the public square to defend it. My own position is inbetween which is often typical for me, but not relevant to the point that Bush has a duty to speak out.

[cynicom]

Is Bush going on nationwide tv and announce in a loud voice why he is against AA???? I think not.

[Taxman]

Bush better enter this case, and on the side opposing affirmative action. There is a lot riding on his decision.
