I'm not feeling clever this morning so I'll just say it

Regent John J. Moores' position that the University of California's comprehensive review policy is unfair because it represents "an unfair advantage to disadvantaged students" would be bizarre if the class war lines weren't already drawn so clearly. That UC already boosts the grade of every student that takes the kind of advanced placement courses that are so common in wealthy districts and so rarely available to disadvantaged students by a point, regardless of how well they actually do in the course, makes the privilege position quite clear: I get everything, you get nothing.

As the L.A. Times implies, these folk aren't interested in fairness.
