McCain Comes Out Against Affirmative Action :: Inside Higher Ed :: Higher Education's Source for News, Views and Jobs

Flip-flop, anyone?

Now it looks like he might change his mind on the DREAM act, which provides a path to citizenship for illegal immigrant children who complete two years of either college or military service. Because I think the Real McCain realizes that it's not fair to punish children for the fact that their parents entered this country illegally.

But where is the McCain for whom I used to have so much respect? Who used to be right about these issues? Succumbing to the anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-human being right. There was a time when I even thought I could vote for McCain. Now, no way. Apparently he'll do anything to raise cash from the same people who brought you Halliburton and the Iraq War.

McCain Comes Out Against Affirmative Action :: Inside Higher Ed :: Higher Education's Source for News, Views and Jobs: "Sen. John McCain on Sunday came out against affirmative action, and endorsed ballot measures to bar public colleges and universities — and other state agencies — from considering race in admissions or hiring.

McCain had previously been among those Republicans who refused to endorse these ballot measures."
