Getting "race-neutral" college admissions into the 2016 Presidential Race?
Thus far, every presidential campaign waged on as if Asian Ams didn't exist. Might the 2016 presidential campaign be different?
Is it time for the nation to get our presidential candidates to say what they think of "race-neutral" college admissions. Impossible?
May be not!
See what CNN published a few days ago. Its title is: Jeb
Bush, Hillary Clinton Together Again to Talk Education
"Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton - two central figures in modern politics with 2016 prospects - joined forces Monday to talk global education."
"In her keynote address, Clinton praised Bush's dedication to education
reform since serving two terms as governor of Florida, where he overhauled the state's
education system, introducing a school voucher program and banning using race as a factor in university admissions."
When there is a will, there is a way. Let me
know by emailing sbw@udel.edu, if you are interested in
working with 80-20 to jointly find a way to interject this topic into the next presidential campaign. Do you head an organization with 100 or more members?"
Even when you said that you are very interested, there is NO commitment from you to work with us, until more details are agreed upon. We just to see if it'll tickle the imagination of the Asian Am community. Love to hear from you, pro or con. Please use real name and e-mail address. :-)

The author is Melanie Mason who is the LA Times reporter stationed in Sacramento to cover the CA legislative activities. She
should know the real story.
