Four Corners
- The United States should officially go through a process of Truth and Reconciliation to deal with the oppression and racial injustice in our past.
- Affirmative action is reverse discrimination against whites
Affirmative Action refers to a policy or program providing advantages for groups who have experienced historical discrimination with the aim of creating a more egalitarian society through preferential access to education, employment, health care, and social welfare. We will be focusing on race-based educational affirmative action.
