These schools cost to much money to attend. I hope the kids choose wisely when picking an institution of higher
Learning. Maybe the HBCUs can lower the cost to attend now.

Also, this fine institution doesn’t allow just anyone to attend, since they have always focused on recruiting the best students available,
so why should that not be the policy for all colleges.

Maybe now we'll get real lawyers and doctors instead of these social justice clowns 🤡

All race based government policies should be abolished.

"Ding dong, AAPs are dead." AAPs are illegal actually, surprised that they stood for as long as they did. You tax the very people to pay for organizations that they are not allowed to participate in. Make sense? AA needs to go away completely in the USA. Training and preparing people before they take on a goal is the way to go, not taking an opportunity away from a worthy person to give it to someone who didn't earn it. Everyone loses in such a scenario. I'm still waiting on my AA contract for the NBA.
