Recalling our Affirmative Action debate in class, I thought you should see the statistical chart to the left. Keep in mind that after U.C. Regents v.

And in the event you thought I was exaggerating how lucky you are to be at your private Los Angeles school, check out these statistics in the chart at the right about South L.A. public schools. You can read the full story about students in L.A. public schools here.
