P. and I are going to be canceling out each other's votes on Prop 2, but I do agree with him on one point: we need to start addressing inequality well before people get to college.
We need to start encouraging discriminated-against minorities to get into science, engineering etc. earlier, address inequality of school funding at the elementary and high school level, etc.
On a side note, I'm more concerned about affirmative action as regards race, not gender, since there are more women in college than men at this point.
