The state of California voted down affirmative action in 1996 and passed Proposition 209, which banned state schools from considering race, gender, ethnicity or national origins in their admissions processes. Black student enrollment has severely decreased since that provision and critics are saying that has to change. Can black students not get into college based on their own merit?? Sheesh. Why does being black and a minority have to be the reason for their acceptance? Dont change the laws to allow people to get ahead based on their race. If they have the grades and the motivation, that is enough.
