Description:

 

Having college quotas for minorities has caused more problems than it has solved. Granted, it guarantees a certain level of diversity on college campuses that can enhance the educational experience. However, there have been instances where less-qualified prospective minorities gaining acceptance into a university over a more qualified caucasian. The most famous example of this is the long running case at Michigan with Barbara Grutter. Reverse discrimination has been spreading all over the country in this regard.

Also, according to Malcolm A. Kline, the percentage of African-Americans graduating from college has been steadily decreasing falling from 52% to 31% from 1903-1993 and has since sunk all the way down to just over 14%. With the addition of college quotas, more under-qualified students are getting into schools where they would otherwise not be accepted, many of which are failing or dropping out.

All men (and women), are created equal. Ethnicity should have nothing to do with accepting or rejecting a student into a college, it should be none of their business whether im black, white or purple. Join the fight and help us fix this problem before it gets out of hand.
