For or against?
I'm against affirmative action. It's simply not fair to deny entry to a college to someone with an astronomical gpa so that someone with a 2.0 gpa can get in just because of their skin color. Racism, pure and simple. |

You say that now, but if you go to a college you aren't academicallly prepared for and it let you in beacuse of affirmative action, then you graduate with straight-Cs or Ds or worse, fail out, you'd rather have gone to a less selective college and done a stellar job.
African-American dropout rates in the California public university system was 70% while affirmative action was in place. Now it is only 25% -- because the ones that should go to Santa Barbara don't get accepted into Berkeley and fail out any more. |
