I feel the same way you do about this in that it comes to late (see above post) and following that line of reasoning the only sensible thing to do would be to institute more programs or other methods of involvement that encourage minorities to want to go to better schools or make their schools better. The reason these programs have to get the children and teens to want a better education is because if forced they will only grow to resent it more. As to how to do this i'm afraid i dont have an answer but, I believe the younger you try to instill ideals the easier it is to do so. Maybe starting school a year earlier and introducing more of a reward system that benefits them immediately because many kids dont see just how important and crucial their education is for there later life.
Do you have a solution proposal Manic??

Yea, I'm in the same boat with finding an alternative to affirmative action
lol. I simply think that it shouldnt be existant at all. It should only be illegal to deny someone a job because theyre white, mexican, black, asian, etc. but not to give them the job based on that.
I've read countless documents that show that most of the problems race policies like affirmative action try to solve are caused my financial issues. Why not make more financial help policies? Give more money to schools, etc. etc.
