"a student from Michigan's upper peninsula, for example, earns 16 points."

Talk about minorities. . .

That's a nice spin on it... but it doesn't change the fact that their system includes race discrimination.

With respect to Michigan's upper penninsula, if you can show me something in the Constitution which prohibits a public school from giving those types of geographic preferences, then I will speak out against them, too.

I heard students get the full twenty if they come from Shockinaw.

And well they should.
