Thread Name: BS: Affirmative Action?
Subject: BS: Affirmative Action?
"While the courts have generally ruled against favoritism in education based on race, the Kamehameha case is different. The school receives no federal money. "

IMO, the school has every right to a race-restricted admissions (or religious affiliation, or other bias) policy, as would an all-white school in the same circumstances- ie, without Federal funding. The article does not, however, discuss any special tax preference that the school might get.

Comments, please?
