...Texas and California became the first states to do away with minority quotas in their university systems - California by referendum, Texas by federal court order. Instead, the states adopted a policy of accepting into the system all students who finish within a certain percentile of their high school graduating class. On Wednesday, in a report to Congress, the U.S. Civil Rights Commission gave this practice an official thumbs-down, calling it an inadequate replacement for affirmative action.

Furthermore, a "pro-choice dinner and activism workshop" does not promote abortion awareness, nor does it examine this fundamental question. It instead acts as a polemic designed to exclude women who do not support the abortion...
