Recent history has proven that diversity can be achieved without using quotas.

That's part of why we elected him our President, and I'm proud of it!

Black conservative ping

"Schools should seek diversity by considering a broad range of factors in admissions, including a student's potential and life experiences."

Oh, Great.
Statements like this if in the Brief will muddy the water further. Because universities want to keep on doing the same racial discrimination they have been doing they will then just adopt "racially neutral life experiences" tests to achieve "diversity"

Extra points on admission to be given for :
knowledge of music- sample question-Compare and Contrast East Coast and West Coast Rap "artists"

Knowledge of marketing- "Rank in price order fifteen models of Nike footwear"

Modern language- "Write a sentence in Ebonics"

Then years from now the then President will be hemmed in in future Supreme Court Cases attacking this racial discrimination- "Yo Bro, the Court gave what Pres Bush asked for."

When I read this:

Our government must work to make college more affordable for students who come from economically disadvantaged homes. And because we're committed to racial justice, we must make sure that America's public schools offer a quality education to every child from every background, which is the central purpose of the education reforms I signed last year.

I see this:

Government must continue to market itself as the sole solution for society's problems and we must continue to offer federal scholarships, paid for by overtaxed high income earners, to children from families who choose not to encourage their children to study hard to get academic scholarships. We must continue to kowtow to the NEA so that government schools will never improve the quality of education for our most precious thing in life, our children. We must continue to make sure that America's government indoctrination centers continue to push the propaganda to our children, when they are most vulnerable, which is why I decided to sign the bloating education reform package cleverly disguised as "Leave no Child Behind".

Thanks for posting... Look for disenchantment with some of the words he chose to use. It's almost impossible to please all...... But this is a good start in getting away from full blown quotas...

[hchutch]

Care for some?

[Bahbah]

Yay! The country takes a turn in the right (no pun intended) direction.

Jack Nasser (Ford ex-CEO) also used a quota system to promote diversity within the ranks, which resulted in at least a couple of age discrimination suits and, finally, contributed to Mr. Nasser's demise. Forced diversity (i.e. not spontaneous) IS about discrimination. A few middle-aged, white male mechanical engineers will vouch for that.

This is a poll question asking if race should be used by colleges for admission. Please vote.

[PhiKapMom]

That's what I figure too! This is a large step in getting away from quotas! Cannot please all of the people all the time! Some on here he cannot please any of the time!

[hchutch]

This is big, IMHO. Bush came out pretty strong - it's going to tick off Jackson and Sharpton.

The timing is interesting - this is the actual birthdate of Dr. King. I wonder if they WANT Sharpton, Jackson, Mfume, and others to attack him on these grounds. If so, then Dr. King's own words can be turned back at them.

[wardaddy]

Pretty fair speech....

[ThePythonicCow]

And here is Bush's speech on this Michigan case, ohioWfan. Boy, he sure doesn't beat around the bush on this one. Gets right to the point.

Excellent.

[Smile-n-Win]

Should colleges consider race as a factor for admission?

Great work in exposing TLBSHOW's hypocracy and distrust of our President. I am sick and tired of his crap. He is the single biggest knee-jerk whiner on FR, IMHO.
