Affirmative Action in the People's Court.

Citrin, Jack

Public Interest, n122 p39-48 Win 1996

The 1996 presidential elections will be, in part, a referendum on affirmative action, with partisan battle lines drawn. When the issue is framed for the voter as a choice between group equality or individual merit, affirmative action loses. Recent history suggests that a majority of Americans reject explicit group preferences. (SLD)
