The Race Based Boondoggle- Affirmative Action

Text the show! Send us a textSince 1960 affirmative action has been used as a 'tool' to increase diversity in schools. It began as a noble policy written during civil rights to give blacks a fighting chance of going to colleges that traditionally discriminated against them. As it should, the supreme court is reviewing the facts of affirmative action 60 years later and is expected to rule soon. The issue is that most people do not understand the true nature of affirmative action and how it hurts the recipients of race-based acceptance. Affirmative action has also negatively impacted other minorities and impoverished "non-minorities."  In this episode, Chad breaks down affirmative action, why there are almost no benefits to a program that was created with positive intentions, and why it needs to be reformed and eventually eliminated. Support the show
