The studies are available from the site. I hope Governor Scott Walker shows courage on this issue, too.


Does the report also reveal the comparative drop-out rates for these affirmative action babies?

If the minorities admitted under these policies average 150 SAT points less than the whites ... and if SATs have any predictive capability at all for academic success ... the minorities will not, on average, be taking the top grades.

This has nothing to do with either skin color or even culture. Have you ever watched “Jeopardy” when one of the contestants was slower than the others, and when they did hit the buzzer first was wrong more often than the others? It is painful to watch. And that is what a minority student would feel like in a classroom full of students with higher SATs.

And the drop out statistics usually bear this out — only a small fraction of these affirmative action babies actually graduate.

And I believe that it was Sowell that pointed out that this was a complete tragedy - minorities that could have excelled in a lower tier university are simply overwhelmed at the top tier universities ... and they simply drop out (or switch to black studies).

Wouldn’t Full Reparations include relocation to one’s continent of ancestry?

Ironically, at least some of those relocated back to Africa would likely be kidnapped and sold into slavery by Muslim Arabs, just like their great-great-great-great-grandparents.
