Is it 2004 or 1954???

DENVER — Students at the University of Colorado at Boulder can take the popular "School and Society" course on Fridays — as long as they're not students of color.

That particular section is reserved for whites, according to a course description. It is also open to those of any race who are first-generation college students. Other students can take the course, which is a requirement for education majors, but during a different period.

Does the above statement bother you? I hope so. I thought the civil rights laws, as well as the US Constitution prevented discrimination based on skin color.

Well change the words "white" and "student of color" and you have the policy of the University of Colorado at Boulder. Discrimination is wrong. This is not an issue of reverse discrimination, it is just discrimination based on skin color. I hope the students who are protesting will file a lawsuit and the jury awards them lots of money. Then the State of Colorado will have to pay the bill and the residence of that State can ask why their taxes are going up to pay for a settlement for an out of control university.

Only when the voters feel pressure will change happen because they will insure the Legislators will enact the reforms or vote the changes in themselves.
