You wake up one morning, and suddenly the world has changed. The gains fought for in the '60s, of judgement not by discriminatory assumptions based on a dark skin color or a particular gender, are being turned on their head. Don't erase the progress, you think.
Affirmative action works.
It's still necessary. It benefits everyone. It gives an equal opportunity for people to participate in society. Students across the country have already woken up, and are organizing to protect and expand affirmative action. The resulting consequences for students, communities of color, and women have driven many students to get organized on their campuses.
