		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The proposal to dismantle the Gifted and Talented Education, or GATE, program at the school is supported by the Latino parents, opposed by parents of the GATE students. ... ‘All students should be treated equally....&quot; I hope they realize that this could cut in precisely the opposite direction. Once a while I run into some of my old high school teachers, and they have informed me that there are far more AP options at my alma mater than when I was in school, so that it&#039;s possible for a senior to have a schedule that consists of AP calculus, AP statistics, AP physics, AP chemistry, AP American government, AP English literature, and AP French. Wouldn&#039;t it be great if we could force _every_ student to carry that load, so that we&#039;re not allowing the bright students to self-select away from the dim ones? Granted, this would guarantee that two-thirds would flunk, but _at least they&#039;d all be equal._]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;We need to improve the educational system of this country so it will 
give anyone who is willing to work the sort of education that will 
prepare them for higher education or the work force.&quot;

Is race (and not culture) really the problem?

I used to be a first level engineering supervisor of about 15 engineers and techs; three of the engineers under me were Vietnamese, two of them were women. They were my best workers. The man was promoted to my position after I left. They all had come to the US as children of boat people who fled the communists after the fall of Saigon. They all spoke with slight accents, so I know English was their second language. Success was only one generation away for them as a group.

The thought occurred to me that since they obviously went through the American public school system for a good portion of their education (including college), public schools must be providing the information necessary to be successful. Then I recalled an article about 15 years prior in &lt;i&gt;Scientific American&lt;/i&gt; entitled, &quot;Why Vietnamese Children Succeed in American Schools Where Others Fail.&quot; The family placed great emphasis on learning; there was an accompanying photo of a whole family studying around a small kitchen table. Their attitude was, “yes, there is racial discrimination in America, but overcome it with education.” Of course, this was all just before Leftists really took control and created victimology and furthered attitudes like the ones held by Latino parents in the Vista (CA) school system:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
“VISTA – Parents of Latino students at Vista&#039;s (CA) most ethnically diverse school are incensed over a campaign by other parents to preserve an honors program there. ... The proposal to dismantle the Gifted and Talented Education, or GATE, program at the school is
supported by the Latino parents, opposed by parents of the GATE students. ... ‘All students should be treated equally,’ Latino parents said in a letter to the board and district administrators. ‘We believe that the school should not create differences between students who know more and students who know less.’&quot;

&quot;GATE Closing Plan&quot;
signonsandiego . com/news/education/20050519-9999-1mi19vusd . html 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
There is no shortage of educational opportunities in the US, and it’s never been easier for ANY minority to get a high school diploma, go to college, and get hired than it is today. All one need do is apply himself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;why is it Constitutionally OK to have laws that both prohibit 
preferential treatment in one state, and laws that allow it in another 
state?  Isn&#039;t one of those things unconstitutional?&quot;

It depends on what the treatment involves. The very purpose of law is to classify (discriminate among) people for different treatment; for example, robbery statutes distinguish bank robbers from bank customers, speed laws distinguish speeders from non-speeders, merchants distinguish between those with money and those without, and draft boards distinguish babies from adults. Preferential treatment happens everywhere all the time. Most of it is not only legal but desirable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just you wait. &quot;Randy Townsend&quot; above cited California&#039;s Prop 209, but he didn&#039;t mention the part about the UC administration&#039;s ignoring the law and doing just what they wanted.

&quot;Stasi apparatchiks disappeared more meekly after the Soviet Empire’s collapse than California’s race commissars have retreated after voters tried to oust their preference regime. &quot;
