All men are created equal. All men are born with the same inalienable rights, those which can neither be given nor taken away. Therefore, it clearly appears that one man does not have more rights than another, but acquired privileges. If a man works for forty years of his life in a factory and can feed his family with the money he earns, is this a right because he is white? If a Hispanic man doesn't work and can't feed his family, is that unfair treatment? Affirmative action laws should be eliminated because they discriminate against the Caucasian majority, contradict civil rights law, and oppose the Bible. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was established to ensure equal opportunity and treatment for men, regardless of race. Affirmative action laws require employers to use a screening process when hiring, which concerns race (Scholars). Seemingly contradictory to the intentions of the Civil Rights Act, the laws mandate a diverse workplace, without notice of capacity. By the late 1970s, reverse discrimination became a problem. Regardless of their good intentions, affirmative action laws began to influence the judgment of those who held the power to make decisions. In 2003, the Supreme Court decided a case in which the University of Michigan Law School denied admission to Barbara Grutter, who was white. The university accepted a minority student with lower scores. The district court found the law school's use of race illegal, but the decision was overturned. The use of race in admissions decisions to promote a compelling interest in obtaining the educational benefits derived from a diverse student body is not prohibited by the Equal Protection (Grutter) Clause. There was a lot of controversy over the decision made. Likewise, there... middle of paper... laws should be removed. Reverse discrimination, as well as any discrimination, should not be customary; however, these laws do not promote the idea of ​​a colorblind society that the Civil Rights Act supports. Teaching people to rely on the government instead of themselves will not benefit anyone in the long run. Affirmative action laws are impotent in their original purpose and should therefore be eliminated. New international version. 2010. Internet. February 3, 2011. Grutter v. Bollinger. Supreme Court.
