I am opposed to racial quotas and voted for Prop 209 (and have signed this petition, as well). But if you think this is the biggest threat to your kid’s future, you’re not looking at the big picture. What I’m talking about is the greatest threat to future generations of Americans of all races. Our economic system being manipulated against most working people, and it’s very much by design. If people don’t start to wake up (and soon!), getting into college will be the least of our worries.

I’m interested in hearing what you think is the biggest threat to equality since you seem to think it’s staring us in the face.[/quote]

The supreme court case
Regents of the University of California v. Bakke
confirmed Affirmative Action but explicitly ruled against quotas.

The reality is life is a competition and it’s not a fair competition. Some are blessed with natural abilities and/or luck that allow them to succeed more so than others. The problem is that we constantly have people trying meddle in that evolutionary process in the name of fairness. No person or group of people can successfully create policy that ensures a fair outcome for all. All we can do is put in place a rule of law that applies to everyone equally and let people end up where they end up.

Evolution is smarter than those looking for fairness. Admiral goal but one destined for failure and unintended consequences.
