这个世界还是有明白人：这是我看到的最可行的解决办法

SAN DIEGO - Former California Republican Party Chairman and candidate for Lt

. Governor Ron Nehring today issued the following statement concerning the 

effort by Sacramento Democrats to repeal parts of Proposition 209 to allow 

for the reintroduction of racial discrimination in college admissions:



"Fairness is a key principle upon which our educational system should be 

based.  When students work hard and achieve so they can get into a good 

school, they should have equal opportunity at admission regardless of 

ethnicity or gender. This important principle is one of the key reasons 

Californians originally passed Proposition 209 and it remains important 

today.  SCA-5 is intensely controversial because it would undermine this 

basic principle of fairness and for this reason it should be rejected.



"There is a lack of fairness in our educational system today: many of our K-

12 schools, including large numbers that serve principally our African-

American and Latino communities, are failing our students, leaving them 

unprepared for college, vocational training, and the workforce.  As a former

school board member, I know the answer here is not to reintroduce 

discrimination in college admissions, but to give students and parents new 

options and alternatives too choose a better school when the school they are

now attending is failing or not a good fit.  That's why I support expanding

school choice and charter school alternatives.  No student should be dealt 

a setback in life because the school the government has chosen for them is 

not a good fit or is failing.
