The End of Affirmative Action?

The End of Affirmative Action?

Even proponents of racial preferences must agree that someday, they must end. And now, a judge in Boston, who favors affirmative action has ended it in the Boston Fire Department.
"..the city has achieved its goal of racial parity among entry-level firefighters," he concluded. And so, whites who had applied for jobs that were given to lower scoring whites must be hired.
I would have preferred that he had ended affirmative action the grounds that racism is immoral and unconstitutional, but I've always said that affirmative action must have an expiration date.
