The charge that some affirmative action programs discriminate against non-minorities is called?
reverse discrimination
Many organizations have established policies to remedy discrimination in hiring of women and minorities Discuss whether or not you feel that affirmative action programs reverse discrimination and crit?
Answer I believe that the affirmative action programs doin fact reverse discrimination. It voilates the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as well as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. We need to get rid of all of these "legal" forms of favoritism. How on earth can it be equal if colleges are reserving spots for minorities and women over white men who are more qualified? (Not saying that all white men are more qualified, you know what I mean here.)

Is 100 percent employment a good thing for the economy?
One of the wonderful aspects of Bill Clinton's administration, as any woman on this blog can attest to that deals with grants and funding for non-profits, was his attention to the needs of women and the poor. He established huge sweeping funding for countless programs in which women, minorities and the poor were advantaged. His mantra was you can take care of the poor while making the nation rich. Which flew in the fact of Bush and Regan's mantra which was the rich got richer while the poor got poorer. So it stands to reason and came as no surprise when George W took office some of the first programs sliced and diced were those in place for women, minorities and the poor. These have always been the programs to lose funding first because they are perceived as "non essential". I hope that the citizens of California will not only fight these cuts but also remember this come the next election cycle. Remember who was responsible for cutting necessary and needed funding for the most vulnerable among you.
