This article is a perfect reason why the Detroit News has plummeted in readership. Notice that they think that stopping a college from banning white males is "unconstitutional". They also seem to be for something called "racial identity" (but you can be sure they don't want it for white males); back in the 1960's, Civil Rights leaders were against 'racial identity', now they are for it. And like everything else tragic that is going on in our society, we taxpayers fund universities that engage in this twisted version of "Affirmative Action".

Court to consider Michigan's affirmative action ban

Associated Press

Lansing -- A federal appeals court is about to consider a lawsuit challenging Michigan's ban against racial preferences in public university admissions and government hiring.

Civil rights groups and University of Michigan students, faculty and applicants say the 2006 ballot measure approved by voters is unconstitutional.

Critics say the constitutional amendment has created an unfair process where universities give weight to geographical diversity and legacy status but not racial identity.

Arguments will be held this morning at the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. A district judge dismissed a challenge to the law last year.
