Discriminations

in this article john references, connerly is quoted as saying that affirmative action harms the people it is supposed to help. It takes a student from a place where he could succeed and puts him in a place where he can't succeed because the academic standards are higher. You realize, don't you, that the solution is to lower standards everywhere. Just as admission standards are lowered, why not lower the standard for passing any course or for graduating. Then no one can say that students are harmed by being expected to do work that they cannot do.

many people, from what I gather, don't think it is wrong for black people to be subjected to lower standards. Some think it is a matter of justice. Others don't think standards matter. They have the it's just a piece of paper mentality. It's all lies, anyway, it's just a giant lie to keep people down, and just give me the piece of paper. They don't believe that the paper or the grade or score means anything, which means of course that they don't think the coursework means anything.
