Another great conversation, despite the atmosphere of sadness and resignation. Take heart, gentlemen: Good signs are in the air as well - even in this godforsaken month of February. Consider, for example, San Francisco's recent recall of three school board members. Even in the most liberal parts of the country, there is a point at which people will say, overwhelmingly, "enough is enough".
On the other hand, the "end run around affirmative action" is even worse than Glenn indicated. It's not merely that colleges are ceasing to require the SAT. Some - including the entire University of California system - are no longer even *accepting* SAT scores.
Still, Spring is coming. While waiting for it, I'll read Steven Rhoades's book, a copy of which I ordered last night. (Thanks for the tip, Glenn. I enjoyed that episode, too.)
