EDUTL 1901 Group Discussion on “The Inherent Contradictions in the Affirmative-Action Debate” Comprehension questions Q1. “ ‘I remember going to one high school—it was a progressive high school, largely upper middle class,” he recalled. Most of the students were white. He spoke with them about segregation and the civil-rights movement, and he explained why affirmative action had been implemented in the first place. “It was about trying to create a society and a community that reflected the best ideals of America,” he told the students. And yet, he recalled recently’”(Green, para.2). Do you believe what Krislove said legitimatize the implementation of affirmative action? Q2. What does Krislov mean by “I remember some very bright young people who, at the end of the day, were most concerned about what it meant for them.” Q3: Do you agree or disagree with the decision of Supreme Court on affirmative action? Q4: “ ‘ The Harvard case is arguably designed to leave good-faith people feeling conflicted: Diversity and racial equity are good! Discrimination is bad! Does one have to come at the expense of the other?” What does this quote mean? Q4: Do you agree or disagree with what Justice Clarence Thomas “ ‘nothing for those too poor or uneducated to participate in elite higher education and therefore presents only an illusory solution to the challenges facing our Nation.’ ” (Green, para.8).
