Re: Affirmative Action
exactly.
imo, it's not only a level educational field that's a prerequisite to abandoning affirmative action. we'd basically need a society that mirrors star trek's federation in terms of food, clothing, shelter & educational availability. in short, until we have a practically utopic society, we need affirmative action.
yes, i know it's a "hand up" that's sometimes exploited but i think the benefits society as a whole receives for helping the disadvantaged outweighs the potential for abuse. many successful people of minority backgrounds would not have had the opportunity to make something of themselves w/o access to education that affirmative action likely gave them.
