Affirmative Action Decisions

[Steeltrap]

I was looking at a rather florid article in the Los Angeles Times' opinion section by a crackpot named Abigail Thernstrom who teaches at Harvard. She was railing about the decisions. Most of it was unreadable, but she had a point: she said that educational improvement should start at the elementary grades. True, but I also don't believe this country has the money or the political will to do sweeping educational reform.
