Controversy erupts over Campus Republicans bake sale plans

A Campus Republicans' baked sale scheduled for Tuesday at UC Berkeley has sparked a controversy. The controversy is that the baked goods will be sold to white men for $2.00, Asian men for $1.50, Latino men for $1.00, and Native American men for $0.25. In addition all women get $0.25 off the baked goods. The Campus Republican President Shawn Lewis stated that the event was to "bring attention, to cause people to get a little upset," and to make people think "more critically about what this kind of policy would do in university admissions". He also states that the pricing of the baked goods is a way to make a statement of the considered California legislation to allow national origin and race to effect the admission process. Many people find this baked sale to be racist, however, Shawn Lewis states that it is to bring to light how the California legislation bill will affect university campuses and to also show that UC Berkeley has more than one political view. At the same day and time a phone bank is schedule to show Governor Brown that Berkeley is supporting the bill.
