The college admissions scandal has gotten worse. But the scam strays into the affirmative action minefield because it raises questions that have long driven the debate over racial preferences: What's the difference between a deserving or undeserving college student? When is preferential treatment justified, and when is it wrong? Should there be a level playing field for all students? People are already answering those questions by filtering them through the lens of the college admissions scam. Some supporters of affirmative action cite the scandal as evidence that the real scam in college admissions is how wealthy white parents game the system from cradle to campus.
Monday afternoon, a group of about a dozen officers responded to a warrant about narcotics in a home in Houston. Upon entry to the home, four officers were shot and one suffered a knee injury. The two suspects were killed on the scene, and two of these officers are now in critical condition. This serves as a reminder of the regretful unity of gun violence and the drug war and conveys the bravery the officers have in facing these calls. This truly shows how vulnerable students are, and how parents will do anything.
