It is clear that affirmative action has strayed from its original intent. It denies equal opportunity and promotes discrimination. It embraces preferential treatment for a group and shuns an individual that deserves to be judged on merit. This is not preference at all, but rather quotas to bridge the gender gap that supporters still believe exists in the workplace. One must question what is the agenda that affirmative action supporters really want to promote.
