An Ann Arbor school field trip has caused controversy. Apparently there is an educational peer group program that is comprised of all African-American students. They went on a field trip to see an African-American Rocket Scientist speak. Invitations were not extended to other students. People are saying this violates Proposal 2, which bans racial preference in public schools in Michigan.
It's an interesting article and actually has some interesting comments (not all, but some).
