I'm sure this kid got a few death threats. However I applaud him for not hiding behind the "committee" and talking to the news.

In some way I agree with him, however he really should have studied wit & satire a bit harder if he thinks that making the liberal campus at which he is stationed angry with him- it does more to hurt rather than help his objective.

Seems pretty legit. The bill apparently OKs the "consideration" of race, ethnicity and gender when considering candidates for admissions, but somehow should avoid "giving preference". I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. You can consider something so long as it doesn't effect your decision?

It seems pretty obvious that socio-economic status should be considered for admissions, but do we really need to include race in the admissions process? Doesn't that just invite racism?
