Affirmative Action is a good idea--there is a current thread about it, but it really isn't going too well. You could probably script the discussion and name the players without ever reading the thread.
The only problem I see it is always ends up in a heated argument with numerous accusations of racism hurled by both sides.
I do offer a different side to it, though, as I consider myself a "white" victim of AA--I got hurt by it pretty badly in the early 90's--but that isn't really pertinent here, we'll have to see how it goes.
In terms of a mend, how about an automatic grant/student loan for the first year of college for every person that wants to go to college--regardless of race/color/gender? After that, they are on their own for financing.
While it may be a large payout up front for the gov't, the money would be paid back ten-fold in higher income tax payments made by people with degrees that might not otherwise have had them.
I dunno, just a thought.
