Education has been enforced on this generation more than when my mother was in school. My mother went to the eighth grade (comma) and that's all the schooling she would receive. She had the responsibility of watching her nephew while her sister got to go to school. It wasn't very important for females to get a higher education because the men were supposed to provide for the family while the females watched the kids. I, on the other hand, passed the eighth grade and went on to graduate from high school. It is almost a given that I go to college because females do not want to marry someone without money (comma) and you need an education to receive a good-paying job. Now days, ...

- ... a look at what happens when there is no Affirmative Action, such as in the court case of Hopwood V. Texas reverse discrimination suit.

So far the results have proved the world desperately needs Affirmative Action. Statistically the abolishment of Affirmative Action on graduate schools this year in California show that the enrollment of blacks in a random law school declined from twenty last year to one this fall while the number of Hispanic students dropped to eighteen from twenty-eight. Some might believe that this could be just a random occurrence, but the same results showed in the University of Texas Law School’s enrollment, three blacks this fall to last years fifty-nine (Applebome a14).

Similar circumstances occurred in Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, Boston ... stores in downtown Birmingham opened their counters to Negroes. There was a promise for better, although not equal, job opportunities. A board was to be set up to look at the possibility of integrating the school system.

Kids in certain high schools have been seen wearing shirts that read “I’m a virgin, and I’m proud.” Abstinence is becoming a more popular choice among teens but studies have proven that the majority of teens have had sex by the time they graduate from High School.
