He is Harvard and JFK School of Government educated, so he was probably the result of Affirmative Action, like Hussain and Michelle...But who knows? At least he does not visit the DR and La Romana..[/QUOTE]
Hillbilly, You and your students should prove that all of you are better than affirmative action students, like you claim President Obama and the First Lady are by taking US college entrance exams and filing applicants at Harvard or any other elite college or university in the US. If the impossible occurs and any of you are accepted, you should complete your course of study and then take the law school admission test, and learn if your scores are adequate for admission to an elite university in the United States. If the impossible again takes place and any of you are accepted in a law shcool in the United States, try to complete the course of study and then try to pass a bar examination, like the President and the First Lady. Thus, instead of attacking their intelligence and accomplishments, prove that you can do what they did at Harvard and on the bar exam. While I believe you are a professor in the DR, there is not one college or univisertiy in the DR that is respected anywhere in the US and almost anywhere in the world. They don't even rate with the fourth rated schools in the US.
Better yet, instead of trying to do what the President and his wife did, you and your students should try to do what my brothers and I have done. We were forced to attend segregated schools for most of our eduction. We later attend a poor white working class high school in New York State. We then went to college on affirmative actions programs in the 1970's, and then to professional schools. Two of us became attorneys and one became a certifed public accountant. We passed some of the most difficult exams to achieve our licenses. So why don't you and and your students do the same here in the United States. They don't even have a bar exam in the DR. And any person with resources can become a professional. Two of my friends are dentists in the DR and I would not let them brush a dog teeth.
Don't worry about too many people with resources travelling to the DR. People with resources do not go there. I first went in 1981 with people I met through the DR Embassy. I stopped about five years ago and could not get anyone to go because the tourists visting there are too poor and uneducated. White people with resources do not go to places where white people without resourcers go.
