"In Texas, Bush opposed racial preferences in public universities and proposed instead that students graduating in the top 10 percent of all high schools be eligible for admission."

This is a MUCH WORSE IDEA than current racial preferences, which are terrible.

This completely removes any attempt at objective comparison and will displace a far greater number of qualified students than currently.

The number of slots available at a university are still fixed. This enforces a type of quota system regardless of the actual objective capabilities of a student.
