<p>Agree with reforming primary and secondary education.</p>
<p>People on this site constantly tout the fact that success in life is based on the student, not the college they go to; by that logic, affirmative action has no positive effect because the minorities that benefit from it would be as successful elsewhere, so it therefore has no perceivable impact on minority social status.</p>
<p>If you reform earlier educational opportunities, then you can actually address the reason why minorities are disproportionately unqualified for the most competitive schools rather than slap a band-aid on and call it diversity.</p>
