Dear Editor: The recent Joel McNally column blasting Ward Connerly contains some very misleading statements. Since Proposition 209 took effect in 1998, the number of “underrepresented minorities” in the eight campuses of the California university system has increased to its highest level. And more to the point, their graduation rates have increased.
….Real affirmative action in education would focus on improving the elementary and secondary education of underrepresented minorities.
