Obama An Affirmative Action Pick to Harvard Law
…at least, the fact that he graduated without honors from Columbia College would tend to imply it strongly….
His campaign is refusing to release his grades or other information about his academic career either at Columbia or Harvard, and now we have a good idea why.
Harvard Law School is one of the most prestigious and competitive law schools in the country. Yet this guy who didn’t even graduate with honors somehow managed to find his way into the school and become the Law Review editor. Given his extraordinarily thin resume, his time at Harvard has been one of his biggest selling points as proof of his intelligence and even (laughably) cited by his supporters as proof that he’s ready to be commander-in-chief.
If his “achievements” are the result of racial preferences rather than competing on a level playing field, doesn’t that significantly tarnish them? Doesn’t the public have a right to know how his credentials stacked up against other (probably) more-qualified applicants who weren’t admitted to Harvard?
It’s certainly high past time that demands were made of him and his campaign to produce the records to let the public for itself how much credence they should give his highly-touted academic achievements….
