Higher education in Califonia ranks amongst the best regions in the world (UCs, Stanford, CSUs USC and the like) yet its k-12 is marred by political correctness which in turn devalues its quality to one of the worst regions in the US. Case in point is Brian Ho vs. SFUSD which was a big case in which Asians were required to score much higher on entrance exams at Lowell than Blacks and Latinos. Or the totally fragmented system in LAUSD in which school funding is allocated depending on where the school is located (Beverly hills schools receive more funding than schools in Compton or East LA because Beverly hill residents pay more taxes.) I'd like to read what you have in stock concerning CA education. My new job deals with the upper echelons of CSU politics and perhaps some outside insight may prove to be resourceful. fabianphil@gmail.com P.S. how have you guys been?

I surely don't care about saving <em>society</em> from <em>society</em>... that's up to them. I just want to show people a better way — "the strong" must step up.
