Discussion Project

 

Look at ‘Case 1’ on p. 264 of our textbook.  Discuss and try to agree on answers to the following questions:

 

1.     A majority of Michigan voters voted to approve the amendment (which outlawed affirmative action programs for all public institutions).  What do you think were the most important reasons that motivated people to vote in favor of the amendment?

2.    What answers could you (or someone) give to those reasons?  How would you try to make a case that people should really vote ‘no’?

3.    Which way would you vote?  Why?
