I ran completely into a brick wall tonight. The last two nights I feel like I really learned, could appreciate what everyone had to say. Today was loud and obnoxious, like a campaign scene. By Any Means Necessary, urged students to join in a march to the Fleming Building following the symposium. While the symposium and educating students is very necessary, if we don't take action after we learn the facts, we are going to lose affirmative action.
Courts respond to social pressure.
We should go directly from learning about all the reasons we should be for affirmative action to putting that into practice. The most positive thing is that people came together, for the most part. This should be a springboard for future dialogues. That's how things get resolved. MSA should be commended for organizing this.
