30 Issues: The Future of Affirmative Action

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 11, 2018

Juan Williams, political analyst for Fox News and the author of What the Hell Do You Have to Lose?: Trump's War on Civil Rights, (PublicAffairs, 2018), and Roger Clegg, president and general counsel of the Center for Equal Opportunity, debate the future of affirmative action under President Trump.

.@TheJuanWilliams: "What you see here is an administration that plays to white grievance."

Roger Clegg: "It's the Trump administration that is opposing racial discrimination...that is opposing the use of race and ethnicity in government decision-making."
