Affirmative action endangerment and national duty
John Martinez argues that affirmative action must be reshaped, not ended, to balance burdens and remedy past harms. He notes society imposes involuntary burdens, such as taxes for military or foreign aid, and that remedies for historical racism and sexism are a collective obligation. Martinez, president of La Raza National Lawyers Association, Sacramento, Calif, urges targeted programs to allocate burdens fairly.
