1.  ACLU: Education






2.  CEO: Disparate Impact, Affirmative Action, and Other Nonsense

Explains that more than 50 years have passed since the Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education outlawed segregation in public schools. Claims that students of color still struggle in inadequate schools and describes the rights of individuals to education, existing discrimination, and lawsuits related to racial discrimination in American schools.

Links to an update by the president of the Center for Equal Opportunity. He asserts that university admissions criteria should not be based on race, explains "disparate impact," and claims that failing public schools and being born out of wedlock or more to blame than racial segregation, and that affirmative action is not the answer to problems in the education systems in the United States.
