Corporations support Affirmative Action

Quote:
“Fulfillment of the national security interest in officer corps diversity must not be imperiled by a sweeping ruling against race-conscious admissions,” argued the brief filed on behalf of General Anthony C. Zinni, Admiral Dennis C. Blair, General Wesley K. Clark, and dozens of other high-ranking former officials from all branches of the armed forces.

Likewise, dozens of the nation’s largest companies – including Pfizer, Starbucks, and Wal-Mart to name a few – also echoed the arguments put forth nine years earlier by a similar list of corporations.

This should be interesting. Republicans/conservatives typically support big business and the military, and want Affirmative Action gone. The military and big business want Affirmative Action intact. I wonder how it'll shake out.
