Are you really going to compare a surgeon's college grades with another surgeon to see who is more qualified for the job? If you're going to compare grades, at least compare their medical school grades. But even then..I mean seriously, who's going to look at the grades? You're going to go where your doctor refers you or the best hospital that you can go to. This is a weak argument by Jay Severin.

And for the record, I'm only for affirmative action as a necessary evil temporarily. Equal opportunity in schools should be from start to finish. I don't agree with the principles of affirmative action whatsoever, but I recognize it as, like I said, a necessary evil. I think this particular argument by Severin is very weak though.
