捍卫你孩子公平竞争入学名校的机会

A historical moment has arrived.  On February 21, 2012, the Supreme Court decided to review a pending lawsuit that challenges the prevalence use of strong racial preferences in college admission.  

Please take this survey to project your voice to the Supreme Court.

Your children’s future is literally in your hands!  
Currently, Asian Americans are being held at a much higher college admission standard.  To receive equal consideration for the top colleges, out of a 1600 SAT maximum (verbal & math): 1550 for Asians = 1410 for Whites = 1100 for Blacks. 

The strong racial preferences instilled such a fear among Asian American applicants that many refuse to state their ethnicities in college applications.  If you want your children to face such a harsh reality, then do nothing.  Otherwise please take ONE minute to cast your vote.

We aim to gather 50,000 signatures and submit this national survey results to the Supreme Court.  We will submit an Amicus Curiae (“friend of the court” brief) advocating a race-neutral, merit-based college admission policy; with broadly defined merit to include current scholastic achievement and evaluated future potential of an applicant.  This nuanced position would provide fair and equitable opportunity to all applicants; while still provide the schools broad discretion in defining education objectives. 

“I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”  — Dr. Martin Luther King

“What? You don’t support diversity?” (Implying you are narrow minded)

Diversity is more than skin deep:  We support a diversity of ideas and socioeconomic backgrounds, which can be achieved through a sharp focus on individual character strengths without resorting to race and ethnicity.  For example, the schools could use a combination of socioeconomic conditions and performance of a student within such constraint to identify high-potential individuals.  If a socioeconomically disadvantaged group produces a disproportionally large percentage of students in this category, and therefore disproportionally benefits from such a preference, so be it.  The key departure from the current practice is that individual efforts are needed to gain admission, rather than  relying on a caricature of group characteristics, such as race and ethnicity.  After all, a poor African American kid and a poor Asian American kid from equally socioeconomically disadvantaged family backgrounds should compete based on their personal drives to succeed despite of the adverse conditions.  Racial preferences disproportionally benefit suburban wealth minorities who happen to have the “right” skin color, at the expense of their poor brethren and all others.
