- 964: Dworkin's Belief of Preferential Treatment
- ... getting something on account of their personal knowledge over someone else's, not even considering their race as a factor. This is evident in a black's point of view of getting into the medical school of the University of California at Davis. Sixteen places are set aside just for blacks and other minorities, no matter how low their test scores are. That way, minorities don't even have to worry about competing with whites for a position. This does not, in any way, reduce racial consciousness by setting two tracks for admission to medical school, one for the minorities, and one for the majority. Mr. Dworkin supports the idea that preferential treatment does not violate people's rights. His argument is weak here because he attempts to prove this by saying that if two things do not violate people's rights, then neither does a third.

- Prop. 16 There is a new regulation if you plan to play college sports. It is called Prop. 16; it is based on a sliding scale.

Also if they could not reach the grades that Prop. 16 required then they can go to a junior college to gain the credits they need and possibaly could not have ever gotten in high school.
