I have observed and personally talked with many families whose children were unfairly discriminated by Ivy Leagues Schools. Our act stems from conscience and courage, not from ideology. Our actions are aimed to protect our children's civil rights, not any party's policies. Period!
@T Dai Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the lone dissenter, but she still managed to produce a few zingers of her own in her sparse four-page opinion. Most notably, she pooh-poohed the idea that the two alternatives to affirmative action suggested by Fisher and her lawyers – the school’s Top Ten Percent Plan, which offers automatic admission to any Texas high school student in the top ten percent of her class, and the review of applications without regard to race: http://www.scotusblog.com/2013/06/finally-the-fisher-decision-in-plain-english/
If top half percent of each high school will go to Harvard, will there be more Chinese kids in Harvard or less? Do we cover 20% of the U.S. high schools?
@谈云识天气 have you read either Blum or our complaint against Harvard. Is any place you read a recommendation of top percentage by either of us? It is you who are ignorant!
@Henry Yang read this: Most notably, she pooh-poohed the idea that the two alternatives to affirmative action suggested by Fisher and her lawyers – the school’s Top Ten Percent Plan, which offers automatic admission to any Texas high school student in the top ten percent of her class, and the review of applications without regard to race: http://www.scotusblog.com/2013/06/finally-the-fisher-decision-in-plain-english/
@赵宇空 You haven't proved Harvard case yet, so you don't get to propose any alternative. But Edward Blum already proposed alternative in the Fisher case. Did you wish him win the Fisher case?!
@谈云识天气 from Fisher case opinion of the court: "The Texas State Legislature also responded to the Hop wood decision. It enacted a measure known as the Top Ten Percent Law, codified at Tex. Educ. Code Ann. §51.803 (West 2009). "
@谈云识天气 that's a laughable "if". Top 10% automatic admission is already in practice for Florida public universities, which is a good policy to prevent outflow of talents to out of state schools.
@赵宇空 if you find an actual plan that benefits our kids, I will support you. Based on the Fisher case, Edward Blum's position is not helping us. It's that simple.
