I am really glad that I did not go to that school when I was six. I would have been expelled. To tell a little boy that it is amoral to kiss anyone on the cheek is wrong.

... why affiramtive action is so needed in the work place. There was a case in 1975 concerning 28 of the local Sheet Metal Workers' International Assoc. The association had been discriminating against black workers. They adopted discriminating admission criteria, restricted the size of memebership and organized shops with very few minority workers. In reaction to this, the Supreme Court backed an order ruling that the associaton required a 29% minority membership goal. Without an actual court ruling, blacks would still be fighting for a fair chance at "white-dominated" positions. Women, as well as other minorities (notably hispanics), also benefit from affirm ...
