A common aspect of many civil rights issues is a discussion of equality of results versus equality of opportunity. Keeping this in mind, evaluate the practice of affirmative action. Use legal precedents to support your conclusions.

I believe that if affirmative action was not in place then many cases would have swayed a different way. One example would be Marco DeFunis Jr. v. Odegaard. Marco was a white man who applied to the University of Washington Law School, but was denied because the school "prioritized admitting minority students who were less qualified." He sued a state education official and successfully gained admission to the school. While his case was considered "moot," there have been many cases afterward based upon race and admissions to schools which were ruled that the schools could in fact deny admission based on race. Some of the schools use this to bring in money because with a more diverse student environment there are more different people who are willing to sponsor that are in a high economic class.

Explanation:

when world war i broke out across europe in 1914, president woodrow wilson proclaimed the united states would remain neutral, and many americans supported this policy of nonintervention. however, public opinion about neutrality started to change after the sinking of the british ocean liner lusitania by a german u-boat in 1915; almost 2,000 people perished, including 128 americans. along with news of the zimmerman telegram threatening an alliance between germany and mexico, wilson asked congress for a declaration of war against germany. the u.s. officially entered the conflict on april 6, 1917.
