[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Executive Order starts: Longstanding Federal civil-rights laws protect individual Americans from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. These civil-rights protections serve as a bedrock supporting equality of opportunity for all Americans.
It continues: 
...institutions of higher education have adopted and actively use dangerous, demeaning, and immoral race- and sex-based preferences
...Hardworking Americans who deserve a shot at the American Dream should not be stigmatized, demeaned, or shut out of opportunities because of their race or sex.

Why should this not be applied to girls when they are stronger candidates? It you just read what is written - it seems clear to me that this is all about looking at applicants based on their individual merits. No where does it say that Universities can accept lower performing applicants to balance the class. [/quote]

This has already been answered.  You are welcome to pursue litigation in the courts against a school you feel has discriminated against your daughter but you’ll need to prove she was not admitted because of her sex.  Same way litigation arose against schools like Harvard for anti Asian discrimination.  [/quote]
