"President Bush is planning to side with white students"

Amen. I also reject that characterization. It is about eliminating discrimination on the basis of skin color. Why should Colin Powell's or Harry Belafonte's children receive "extra points" for admission over a poor white kid from West Virginia. This advantage continues through graduate or law school and even to the workplace. Asians are left out of the equation (except to limit their numbers) because they are high-achievers. I hope Bush has the cajones to weigh in on this case and put his money where his mouth is. It is the principled thing to do regardless of the predictable outcry from the Democrats.

It is dangerous to accept the characterization of President Bush's stand by a liberal journalist. Some on FR do that way too much. How many times have you seen liberals MIScharacterize Bush's position? For some, it is just another reason to denigrate the President. Even with this good news, some on FR have found a reason to fault him. It's disingenuous.

Never mind...Bill Sammon is no liberal. However, the rest of what I said stands. This is the writer's characterization of the President's stand. Let's see what the brief says before we start criticizing. Also, I have a feeling he will address race in the State of the Union...at least I hope he does. It doesn't really matter what newspapers or news readers say...all that really matters is what the President says. Let's give him a chance. What he did in Texas tells us where he stands, IMO.
