Affirmative Action?
Affirmative Action which began three decades ago, as part of the civil rights movement, called for minorities and women to be given advantages in decisions involving education, employment, and contracting decisions. Affirmative Action was originally started because people believed that it was fair to give minorities and women advantages because of the hundreds of years of discrimination they faced. ... Affirmative Action helped level things out and gave everyone a chance to succeed in society no matter what their sex or race. Now, it is time for things to change and for Affirmative Action too be done away with. ...
Affirmative Action is no longer evening up the playing field, but instead it causing people to not get jobs they deserve, not be promoted, and making many people angry. A recent Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that three out four Americans do not believe we should continue to use Affirmative Action. ...
Steps are being taken to abolish Affirmative Action throughout the country, but these efforts are not enough. A Supreme Court ruling helped abolish Affirmative Action in California and that is what needs to happen in more states.
