* Marshalls the arguments for affirmative action* Offers strategies for actionWhy is affirmative action under attack? What were the policy’s original purposes, and have they been achieved? What are the arguments being arrayed against it? And–for all stakeholders concerned about equity and diversity on campus–what’s the way forward, politically, legally, and practically?The authors explore the historical context, the philosophical and legal foundations of affirmative action, present contemporary attitudes to the issue on and off campus, and uncover the tactics and arguments of its opponents. They conclude by offering strategies to counter the erosion of affirmative action, change the basis of the discourse, and coordinate institutional support to foster inclusive college environments and multi-ethnic campus communities.This book analyzes the ideological and legal construction of colorblind legislation that has led to the de facto exclusion of people of color from institutions of higher education. It addresses the role of the courts in affecting affirmative action in higher education as a workplace and place of study. It documents the under-representation of collegians of color and presents research on student opinion on race-based policies at two- and four-year institutions. It details the pervasiveness of the affirmative action debate across educational sectors and the status of race among myriad factors considered in college admissions. Finally, it considers affirmative action as a pipeline issue and in the light of educational policy.
The headlines are depressing. The information we need to make sound decisions or choose political leaders or even understand the weather is often biased and peppered with propaganda. Our institutions have failed. Families are under attack from every angle, and children are offered up on the altar of narcissism and woke culture. Our country is being invaded at the southern border. Americans are dying from suicide, drugs, man-made viruses, and lawlessness while lying, and censorship has invaded the public discourse needed to address these fatalities. America has seen better days. Hope for a return to sanity is fading fast. Every American has an interest in the health and welfare of our country, but Christians are called to a higher standard than self-interest. Christians are called to respond to darkness with God's truth, prayer, and loving actions. Disciples of Jesus are commanded to love God and love others, and in keeping with this command, Christians have a duty to intercede for America. Is it too late to ask God to heal America? Do we know how to return to God? Will God hear us? How do we know what to do when many "woke" churches have joined the enemy? This is a practical book about how to return to God. It was written after years of praying and fasting for insight into the divine prescription for a terminally ill nation. If you want to follow Jesus's example, and if you are tired of watching evil win, this book shows you how to return to God in the way he prescribes. Based on the three actions of Revelation 1:3--reading, hearing, and heeding--the book is a map for Christians called to partner with God during this time of growing apostasy. Unapologetically calling out sin and rebellion, this book provides step-by-step guidance for reclaiming your Christian life and helping your family, church, and nation the way God directed it centuries ago. This book is both a scriptural-based commentary and a Bible study to guide individuals, families, and churches in petitioning God to save a dying country.
