There was someone speaking on TV a few days ago telling viewers not to send the chain letter anymore. I encourage you to think before you send out that next chain e-mail about a helpless little kid. This is the beginning of a 3 part series where I will discuss the good and the bad of affirmative action. Part 1 will be discussing how affirmative action is a good thing. Part 2 will discuss how affirmative action is unfair and unlawful.
Affirmative action is a very important subject.
Affirmative action is a law that says all businesses and colleges must accept a certain number of minorities into their workplace or university. If they don't, they will face strict fines. Propsistion 209, recently passed by Californian voters, ended a long saga of affirmative action. We all will be affected by affirmative action in the long run, even if it hasn't touched us yet. Affirmative action does help minority students get into college, no question about that.
