I still maintain that until we, as a nation, can overcome this strong tie to politics in many issues like this without facing them as what they are.....and what they are not is political pawns.

"The Supreme Court on Monday allowed affirmative action to survive in college admissions but imposed a tough legal standard, ruling that schools must prove there are “no workable race-neutral alternatives” to achieve diversity on campus.

While the ruling was not a sweeping pronouncement on the future of affirmative action, it amounts to a warning to colleges nationwide that the courts will treat race-conscious admissions policies with a high degree of skepticism."

And I still maintain that we have an entire generation raised with either guilt or a sense of entitlement.
