It's the fair and equal opportunity to qualify for the best universities that's the important thing. Ask dr. ben carson.
I don't know why anybody would be happy with or demand a green participation ribbon anyway. It's weak sauce.
Weak sauce...like your brain matter? Do you understand that Scalia was promoting the idea that blacks should attend less strenuous schools? Is that your definition of "equality"?
No... he was merely stating that a student of any color (or whatever subclass you wish to place a person into) should be judged on their academic merits when being considered for placement in a university program. Radical... I know.
Pkr, that's the first time I've heard anyone interpret Scalia's remark as you have. Is that wishful thinking, or what?? He didn't say any such thing. It was patently obvious to anyone listening that he meant exactly what he said, and Floridatexan clearly has it right.
No, it isn't wishful thinking. It's Pkr. doing what he does best and that is outright lying and making things up. Smh!
