Affirmative action, otherwise known as "reverse-discrimination", is a policy that effectively discriminates against certain groups for the benefit of other groups. The intent of such a policy is to "even the playing field." The actual result, however, is that less qualified individuals unfairly gain access to employment, education, groups, etc at the expense of more qualified individuals. But this does not even begin to address the true underpinnings of discrimination. The result of affirmative action, or discrimination, is that those in the "target" groups that affirmative action is supposed to help might obtain credentials that are then questioned (fairly or unfairly) but others who wonder if their success was a product of talent and hard-work or of government-sponsorsored discrimination - ie affirmative action. So, the result is that affirmative action actually LEADS to stereotyping, the underpinning of discrimination. Affirmative Action should absolutely be eliminated. Fairness is not unilateral - the only way to address problems of discrimination is by even-ing the playing field for all. Education and free markets are the solution.

The people don't really need it. There are individuals who because of race, creed or religion have been denied their basic natural rights, affirmative action does not offer the proper remedy. It does not matter who you are or what color your skin is, if you chose to excel then you will excel no matter what. Affirmative action serves to divide the populace allowing for more government controls. When the rights of groups are valued more than the rights of individuals, then freedom has taken a back seat to government intrusion.
