Has anyone really paid attention to the Affirmative Law Controversy in Michigan. On November 7, 2013 students in Michigan protested about the conflicts with the Affirmative Law conflict. Affirmative Law simply states that the state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to any
individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national
origin in the operation of public employment, public education or public
contracting."
Really what is our society really coming to. Why go against something that is truly fair. No one has the right to discriminate anyone due to their color, religion or race. The US Supreme Court took up an unusual – but important – civil rights case
on whether to ban on using race-based affirmative action in
college admissions in Michigan violates the equal protection rights of
minorities.
Michigan is no stranger to controversy over affirmative action. More than a
decade ago, white students challenged race-conscious admissions programs at the
University of Michigan and the University of Michigan Law School. In 2003, the
Supreme Court struck down the university’s affirmative action program for
relying too heavily on race. At the same time the high court upheld the law
school’s program.
Now you tell me if this is fair or not???
