Will 'minorities' still complain that they are not equally represented? Will Rev. Sharpton be appalled at at the military for not drafting enough blacks or hispanics?
Answer:
.The Supreme court, just last week, denied busing for the purpose of desegregation. Has the worm finally turned in favor of equality for all ? Will this be the end to 'set aside ' programs that we watched with disfavor, as local governments handed business opportunity to people based on color and gender, yet turned their backs on the aged, veterans, and handicapped, to favor the former ?
I sure hope so !
I dont think it ever will, because in the event that there is a war draft the government will care less on who is being uequally represented. One such example of the government clearly being unconstitutional is the holding of the japanese-americans during world war 2. in Korematsu v. United States the supreme court says that the government may throw out liberties in the time of war.
Uhhh, no. Affirmative action, if it is applied, applies only to education and, less often, to jobs. It rarely applies to anything else. The draft is done by random selection of birthdays. Also, affirmative action can also apply to women, not only minorities. I don't think affirmative action and the draft will ever draw a following or even media attention. A more controversial issue is actually women and the draft.
