"Sending ill equipped students into valuable university spots simply because they're the 'right' race offends me to the core. Law schools are the worst offenders here."
What are the statistics on exactly how many "ill equipped students" are going to law school? And are they acceped to law school "simply" because they're the right race, or is race one thing that is factored in to the equation?

The study I heard in passing suggested that fewer blacks were now lawyers than would have been sans AA. The failure rate of blacks placed in schools above their academic station was a huge drag on the total number of black lawyers. Placing blacks strictly by merit would have led to more lawyers total.
Google around and you'll find it. It's only a couple months old.

I'm with Colin Powell here. If a few hundred black kids who otherwise would not have the opportunity to go to law school get the chance each year becuase of affirmative action, what great harm is done to the republic?
