"Affirmative action" needs to be rolled back.
You can't have true equality without a level playing field.
Affirmative action sets under-educated, but over-promoted minorities up for failure. [url=http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/ewp_03.htm]only 51% of black students graduate high school, compared to 72% of whites, and only 20% of black students are judged to be "college ready."
Relaxed admissions standards do not help these students, as they are expected to work at the same level as their classmates who did meet admission standards for entry.
I do think that expectation plays a large part in performance. If you expect more, you get more. Expect little or nothing, and you'll get that too.
