Wait - how is the bakesale different than the proposed legislation?<p>Are the school officials seeing something I'm not or did this go straight over my head?

I think this bake sale is a brilliant idea, but unfortunately many have missed the point. The bake sale illustrates how SB185 (CA bill that wants to consider race in its admissions) if passed might be consider racist. The good thing is this sale is drawing a lot of attention. The bad though is the attention seems focused on the bake sale being racist, but not necessarily the CA Bill which will affect a lot more people. Rather than focus on whether this bill should be passed people are upset that they are charging different prices for cupcakes (even though the organizers have said that they won't).
