Right-Wing

Strongly agree

Yes

Right-wing ideology generally emphasizes individual merit and free market principles over government mandates. Many conservatives argue that affirmative action requirements for federal contractors constitute a form of reverse discrimination and undermine the principle of equal opportunity based on merit. This perspective is reflected in the actions of conservative lawmakers and think tanks that have historically opposed affirmative action policies. For example, the Trump administration (2017-2021) sought to limit the scope of affirmative action in higher education, which aligns with broader conservative views against such policies.

Strongly disagree

No

Right-wing ideology typically opposes government interventions that mandate specific hiring practices, such as affirmative action. The belief is that such policies can lead to discrimination against those not covered by affirmative action and that they infringe on the free market's ability to self-regulate. This stance is supported by conservative think tanks and political figures who argue for a merit-based system free from government-imposed quotas or requirements. Therefore, the right-wing is likely to strongly disagree with maintaining affirmative action requirements, viewing them as counterproductive to meritocracy and individual freedom.
