[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 174876, member: 2653"] I graduated high school in 1987, and a woman minority received a full scholarship to LSU that had a lower GPA, lower ACT, less academic achievments, and less community involvement than myself (she was a classmate of mine). I received no scholarship, and paid student loans for 10 years after I graduated LSU. I'm probably not a good person to ask about affirmative action. After almost 20 years, I still remember her name. The basic principle behind affirmative action is to reward those classes or groups of people who have been harmed in the past. While that is admirable in intent, in the long run, it only makes those receiving the benefits less competitive, and less able to deal with the "real world". JMO. [/QUOTE]
