1. affirmative action: gratz vs. Bollinger and grutter vs. Bollingerby: Brianna Callahan pd. 2-3

2. This situation is similar to the Brown vs. Board of Education problem. It is, because it is intentionally discriminated against whites, and blacks. It also violated the 14th Amendment. • The issue was finally decided. Together, Gratz and Grutter affirmed and refined the Supreme Court’s position on affirmative action a quarter century after its initial decision in Regents of University of California vs. Bakke (1978). • I think that it was in keeping with Brown. It was, because it deals with racism. It also deals with parents suing the school. They also deal with the 14th Amendment, too. • This reveals that racism is still at bay. People are still racist. Some people are even getting tired of ti, too. • My opinion is that I think people should be treated equally. It doesn’t matter if they’re black, white, Irish, Mexican, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, etc. Everybody should be treated the same no matter what. • The issue is not being debated right now. The debate ended in 2003. • If my school was being racist towards me, grant it, I probably wouldn’t sue them, but I would do something about it. I would especially get my parents to do something.
