Where are the real conservatives on this thread? You know, not the ones that just jummped on the band wagon when Bush made it cool to be conservative (and now you call yourselfs "liberatrians" cuase your loosing) I guess I'm the only one willing to speak the truth: There is a simple way to end this whole AA debate. Do as Regan said he would (but never did) and as true conservatives still believe we should, and abolish the department of education. No more federal subsidized student loans for anyone. You only go to college if you can afford to pay for it. You make success on your own, not on the g-ment dole.
There is no “right” to education in this country beyond k-12. End that, end loans, and federal help to schools, and there would be no need to give preference to anyone for anything. We created a generation that thinks they deserve something higher education wise. As if everyone, regardless of any factors, has the “right” to go to the best schools. And if some takes “their” place they get all pissy about it.
We started making lazy kids when we started giving them trophies just for playing the game, even though they lost miserably. They now think someone else has taken their “spot” at some school, as if they deserved that spot in the first place. As if they are saying I played the game gimmie my trophy even though I did not win. God forbid they have to go to a lesser ranked school and try being actually good at being a lawyer to be successful. That’s too much work, gimme my trophy for just playing the game, my diploma is from X that means I'm deverse riches even if I suck at my job. There is a political philosophy for you people, and its not republicanism, its communism where everyone gets an equal chance at success becuase we are all "equal" even the lazy ones.
