The dealth knell for affirmative action?

This Atlantic article argues that a new admission policy based on socio-economic status would be an improvement over race-based admission policies.

I think research on this has been pretty inconclusive according to http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/her ... dmissions/

Guessing the 14 dead and 21 wounded by 2 Jihadists in California last week.

So, some interesting polls this morning from Rasmussen in regards to Trump's temporary ban on Muslims:

This is the problem the Republican establishment, Democrats and the media have...............people in this country agree with him. And it's not just right-wing Republicans (30% of Democrats surveyed support the plan).

Trump has now turned his ban proposal into an attack on the vetting and VISA process. This will play no matter how hard the media kicks and screams. The more people attack him, the stronger he will get.

After the 2010 midterm elections, Silver concluded that Rasmussen's polls were the least accurate of the major pollsters in 2010, having an average error of 5.8 points and a pro-Republican bias of 3.9 points according to Silver's model.

LMAO. So what is your solution? Let everyone into the country and hope they aren't Jihadits? And you call me stupid?

My God.

And yes, I am absolutely scared for the future of my 4 year old and 2 year old. I believe as a nation we are more unsafe now than at any point certainly in my lifetime. If the problem is not confronted, it will get worse in a hurry.

You have acted like a petulant child throwing a tantrum during this discussion. You really bring nothing to the table and pale in comparison on an intellectual level to drsmooth and others in this thread. JV team as Obama would say.

This is wrong but there is probably nothing that will sway you on this because you turn on the news and you get scared.
