I'm sure that was productive
I decided not to go to yesterday's AffAct debate because... well... those things are just painful to watch.
The Daily Cal quasi-covers it (but their website hasn't been updated), and I hope The Patriot does (Update: done). From the Daily Cal:
"The only way to root out institutionalized racism is first to recognize that it exists and then to take positive actions against it," [BAMNer Shanta Driver] said, pointing to the civil rights movement and the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision as a turning point for equality. Driver said the fight for affirmative action is the modern civil rights movement.
You know, it's funny she mentions BvBoE, which said that considering race when deciding who to let go to a particular school was unconstitutional.
"I think it was a productive event," said Angel Lopez. "It gave students a good foundation."
I can't quite laugh in her face, since I didn't go. (I can, actually, because she's named Angel, but that's a different issue) But if anyone who did go wants to laugh in her face, feel free to.
Correction: See comment.
