No, Affirmative Action Programs hurt minorities
@4NJR28J4yrs4Y
Maybe affirmative action, at the era of inception has helped given previously discriminated peoples the education they need. But at this current era, where anyone can get an education regardless of race or sex, government should take out the race quota part in ensuring equal education and start focusing on preparing children, particularly those who don't have enough saved up for college, to take on the costs of an quality teritary education.
@8QF4T5C4yrs4Y
Yes & no; Emphasis should be given to education programs for everyone, focusing on learning how to invest in our economic system, earn credit, learn trade skills/higher education prep programs. Enrollment should be prioritized for minorities in certain areas, but still open to other groups if classes are not filled.
@4XD28G74yrs4Y
No, while I do support equal rights and opportunity to pursue goals, I do not support unfairly giving minority races or groups a leg up based simply on being a minority.
@8PLM9WQ4yrs4Y
Yes, until all Americans have the same opportunities and then we can move toward a Meritocracy
@6Q2LC7Q3yrs3Y
No, each person should be treated equally.
@MilesBHuff4yrs4Y
No, they are evil and racist
@86N5Z354yrs4Y
Yes, however, some colleges and universities are taking it too far and not accepting non-minority based students with the same academic achievements and credentials. Therefore, we should still implement it but race should not be one of the leading factors over whether or not someone gets accepted into the school.
@86N5Z354yrs4Y
Yes, but we should create more social programs so that universities don't have to rely on it.
@8GPLR5X4yrs4Y
Yes, but employers should base their final decision on qualifications instead of ethnicity
