UC Berkeley Campus Republicans Plan Race-Based Bake Sale

From CNN: Berkeley Campus Republicans have developed “a sliding scale where the price of the cookie or brownie depends on your gender and the color of your skin … ‘The pricing structure is there to bring attention, to cause people to get a little upset,’ Campus Republican President Shawn Lewis, who planned the event. ‘But it’s really there to cause people to think more critically about what this kind of policy would do in university admissions.’ But the young Republicans have been on the receiving end of a fierce backlash. Reaction has been so negative they’ve been forced to cancel their customary lunchtime tabling duties.” Lewis says it’s a way to make a statement about pending legislation that would let the California universities consider race or national origin during the admission process.
