Alyn Libman won a $15,000-a-year scholarship to the University of California at Berkeley with a resume that showed more than just Libman's athletic achievement and academic potential.

It also showed years of ridicule, beatings and threats, along with Libman's decision to become a boy in 11th grade.

College applications need to include a SSN and thats it. No sex, no ethnicity, no creed... make it a true equal playing field.

Of course... that probably makes me a homophobe, doesnt it?

Wish they would have been doing this when I went to college, I'd have turned pillow biter in no time.

whatcha expect...

seriously though, you hit the nail on the head. Affirmative action is a waste and only ensures that more dolts go to school to drop out.

It's not about application information, UC Berkeley, or affirmative action.

When you start awarding scholarships, you're free to do it any way you like. Welcome to America. ;)

When I die, I'm going to have my assets set up as a scholarship fund. The requirements will be:

Female, less than 110 pounds, C cup or better, approved as "hot" by 2/3rds of the board of directors.
