That's a WRAP for the Civil Liberties/Rights Unit. You better be sure you've read Wilson chapters 18 & 19 by next class. Have detailed notes and be ready for the Mini-Exam!
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. Bakke (1978), Affirmative Action of a sort was the norm at UCLA. In 1998 the first UCLA class affected by CA Prop. 209 (banning race from university admission criteria) was admitted.
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.
