Black

students who take challenging courses in college often drop out and those who go to law school often fail their bar

exam

Texas banned

race-conscious entries of colleges and found that the results

for Hispanic or

African Americans entry was the same or greater to when they did not ban

race

conscious

entries

Mr.

Taylor and

Mr.

Sander think that instead of looking at

race,

they need to find the poor students who stand out and are very academically

smart.

Discussion

What are your thoughts on affirmative action?

Do you think it’s worth continuing to spend money on scholarships and take enrollment of minorities who, in some cases, are not academically capable to perform at those schools? If so, why?

If affirmative action was banned, what would happen to the economy and those people who would no longer be admitted? Should we be concerned with them falling back into poverty?

What do you think about basing admission off socio-economic status versus race?Slide12
