Affirmative Action

WATCO of affirmative action as it applies to educational structures?
Affirmative action prohibits the amount of sports and scholarships that are given to the men.
Because affirmative action requires schools to have an equal number of male and female sports as well as an equal number of scholarships between males and females and when there are less women sports than men sports many of the men’s programs get dropped.
Whatever causes men sports to be equal to the same amount as women sports causes a reduction in the men’s sports programs

Audience: Men and women who believe in affirmative action.

Issues dealing with audience: They see affirmative action as an effective way to reduce discrimination based on sex, age, and race. They see this is a way to give the historically disadvantaged opportunities.


Argument for me: Affirmative action is not needed any more. Women’s sports are becoming more and more popular and are supported effectively by the school. So why do we need to cut the men’s sports programs just to make them the equal to the women’s programs? There is no reason or need to do that. The men are the ones being discriminated against.
