College bake sales by conservatives who oppose affirmative-action spark conflict

If this guy is so upset at an affirmative action bake sale, why isn't he even more disgusted when the results of affirmative action result in qualified students being denied entry into school merely because they have the wrong skin color??

Or when minority students get financial aid at much better rates than white students do, which is the dirty little secret that the bake sales try to expose. The real cost of college is the "list price" minus scholarships and grants (I don't count loans). I would just love to see to see how much race and gender have to do with the decision on how much financial aid to award to a student with a given family income and SAT scores.

Not too long ago I was talking with a black lady I know. Her daughter was offered free tuition at Penn State, but chose to go to ivy-league UPenn instead where she gets full tuition but has to do some work around the campus.

Meanwhile I'm trying to figure out how my kids are going to get a college education. We're not rich, but I don't think we're going to get any discount from "list price"

Sorry. I misread your post.
