Spending big on failing schools, proof of race preferences' harm...

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : So: "Affirmative action in practice often involved the well-fed son of a Jamaican American or Colombian American dentist being given a 300-point test-score advantage over the daughter of a Vietnamese immigrant shopkeeper."
49% : New York again "ranks #1 in the nation" on public-school spending: $26,571 per kid, "85 percent above the national average of $14,347" -- even as "student achievement is the lowest in history," thunders the Empire Center's Emily D'Vertola.
49% : Because of "affirmative action, which has made people suspicious of black academic and professional success.""Pro-black affirmative action had been making less and less sense over the past two or three decades," cheers Spiked's Wilfred Reilly after the recent Supreme Court ruling.
48% : The left's reaction to Justice Clarence Thomas' concurrence in the Supreme Court's ban on racial preferences in college admissions "is more evidence that affirmative action stigmatizes black achievement," observes The Wall Street Journal's Jason L. Riley.
