Gender-Based Affirmative Action: Do Two Wrongs Make a Right?

The government SHOULD be trying to make everything as fair as possible, but not through a program like affirmative action that isn't merit-based. What I want to see is an educational system that's fair to boys.

You are making the exact same argument that led to affirmative action in the first place. The idea that it is wrong, but we should do it anyhow to undo an injustice (past, or current in the system) is asinine.

Life isn't a playground and the government shouldn't be an elementary teacher trying to make everything as fair as possible through a program like affirmative action.
