College administrations could end the racial degree gap easily by giving a degree to anyone who asks for it by charging a small fee for a diploma. Problem solved. Every American or non-American will have a degree. All college grads with this diploma will be worth an equal amount in the workplace, too. Nada.

Whatever. Your disbelief does not negate reality. I really don't care what you think. I was there, and I've written releases that you may have seen. Not really that big of a deal.

That already happens for "people of color."

And then they get cushy jobs in local, state or federal government.

Think of all the savings there would be. So much is now spent on edu the cost savings would be unprecedented. No more property taxes going to edu!!!!!!!


Great idea!


Since Cali wants to be its own country, let's see where it stands in comparison to other countries. If Cali would become its own country, Mexico would annex it in a heartbeat.

I disagree with this decision. Students simply need to put in the extra work if they are struggling.

This has far more to do with Hispanics from Central America. The article specifies "first generation, people of color" as having the most difficult time. In California, that's Hispanics. In fact, most first-gens of African origin (non-Hispanic) excel, even when English is not their first language.

California does have the potential to be it's own country. They can name it Dumbf*ckistan.
