The Michigan Daily has a story regarding a cartoon that is sparking a possible boycott from the NAACP.

The University chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People may be considering boycotting The Michigan Daily because of an editorial cartoon it published Nov. 28.

The cartoon displays a classroom of smiling dark-skinned students with a single white student. The dark-skinned teacher is shown saying that everyone in the class will receive preference when applying to the University because of affirmative action policies, except the white student.
