Asian-American Students Suing Harvard Over Admissions Win Justice Dept. Support
This argument, while important, is the low hanging fruit of the affirmative action debate in my opinion.<p>We would not need affirmative action if legacy based admissions wasn&#x27;t so prevalent in top schools.<p>We would not need affirmative action if every school district in America recieved proper funding to support teachers and enable smaller class sizes, test prep for students to take specialized exams, and after school extracurriculars, both academic and non-academic to prepare them for college.<p>The best elementary schools in the nation are driven by property taxes, how many people do you know bought their house because of the school district? You probably did. Yet we really don&#x27;t take these things into account when having these discussions. Everyone wants a fair and equitable opportunity for students to get a quality education but to really do so we need drastic reform to really enable that. There&#x27;s enough political will to tackle the symptom that is AA but very few people want to tackle the causes.
