Sonia Sotomayor is just another looney lefty

How about we let the qualified into prestigious and other schools, purple,green, or orange. Your skin color does not equal an extra point to win.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor said she supports affirmative action in higher education because she believes that alternatives based on geographic or economic status don’t work to ensure a diverse student body.

Sotomayor has said race-conscious programs in the 1970s that opened the Ivy League to minorities were essential to her rise from the Bronx housing projects to her admissions to Princeton and Yale Law School, where she excelled.

In a segment taped for ABC’s “This Week,” George Stephanopoulos asked Sotomayor, the court’s first Latina, about programs that might increase diversity in higher education that would be “less fractious” than the use of race.

She said that other programs have not proved as successful in diversifying student bodies andthat universities should be able to consider race and not just academic measurements.

“What does qualifications mean in an academic setting?” she said. “A place like Princeton could fill their entire beginning freshman class with students who have scored perfectly on undergraduate metrics.

She is a mental light weight that got where she is via quotas, same as the POSPOTUS that appointed her, so of course she want quotas.

Another whack job obama appointee we will have to deal with for decades to come.

..and why exactly do we want to "diversify student bodies."

Diversity is the promoted by left as an end in itself. So, if people don't diversify themselves to their satisfaction, it is the duty of the State to use force against individuals to acheive it.
