Uber....Title 9 of the Education Act, providing equal funding for women's athletic programs is an affirmative action program. The Rehabilitation Act requiring handicap access and non-discrimination in hiring qualified handicapped persons is an affirmative action program. Programs and laws requiring equal pay for women are affirmative action.
Affirmative action means providing equal opportunity...but I do agree that race-based programs to "level the playing field" in emplyoment and education have been abused.
