The Intertwined Fates Of Affirmative Action And The Military, Robert Knowles
The Intertwined Fates Of Affirmative Action And The Military, Robert Knowles
Loyola University Chicago Law Journal
This Article explores the deep connections between the crises facing the military and affirmative action. The military struggles with a sexual assault epidemic and a related failure to achieve gender and racial equality, both of which undermine its ability to effectively carry out its mission. Affirmative action faces growing skepticism from the American public and from the courts, which have been gradually eliminating the ground on which gender- and race-conscious measures can be constitutionally justified.

Parental involvement in a child's education plays a crucial role in a child's success, and lack of genuine school choice stymies parental involvement and control.
