I thought everyones Mom taught them that two wrongs don’t make a right. When are we going to learn that reverse discrimination (”affirmative action”) is no better (actually it is the same) as discrimination? This goes back to the stupid social engineering game we try to play with many of our federal laws. The feds have no business in passing laws on things like this, that is up to the states. We need to get back to the place where the feds job is to uphold the Constitution, and only to uphold the Constitution, but I won’t be holding my breath for that to happen.
