Is the problem that minorities are discriminated against in admissions or that minorities do not emphasize academic excellence (Asians excluded)? IMHO the minorities need to work on their culture if they are expected to fairly compete for college admission.

If one looks at this picture it seems several of these graduates will be weight challenged, which again means lowering standards.

“...racial diversity in higher education is only worth potentially preserving insofar as it might be needed to prepare Black Americans and other underrepresented minorities for success in the bunker, not the boardroom.”

It’s not worth preserving, period. It’s an unlawful racist initiative.

So, several decades of illegal discrimination may finally end?

The only reason KBJ, Kagan and Soto are on the Scotus is because The View wasn’t hiring.

Gotta admit... I’m more nervous at all those swords pointed willy-nilly.

She can’t define a woman, but...
In her dissent, Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson expressed frustration that the court’s majority “has come to rest on the bottom-line conclusion that racial diversity in higher education is only worth potentially preserving insofar as it might be needed to prepare Black Americans and other underrepresented minorities for success in the bunker, not the boardroom.”
*************************************************
So she is alleging a “conclusion” that is not in evidence. But she put it in such a mumbo-jumbo way as to obscure the emptiness of her own accusation.

This suit has the potential to undo more than five decades of efforts to expand the racial diversity of the nation’s military leaders. West Point has nearly 4,400 undergraduates, 61% of whom are White, 11% Black, 12% Hispanic/Latino, 9% Asian and less than 1% American Indian or Alaska Native. While the racial demographics of West Point today resemble America, that was not always the case.

The US Military and it’s American People client, NEEDS to hand diplomas to very young people based upon MERIT not their skin color. I would wager that every one of these people got in based upon “lowered affirmative actions standards” and could not have got in to West Point without that boost.

Does this mean they might actually consider merit?

More diverse or more leftist?

Interesting picture.

I don’t know what you see in it ...

But I see between two and three dozen people who are unfit for leadership positions in the United States Army.

There should be no women in the military. The experiment has failed. But we should have Women’s Corps similar to what we did in World War II and they can specialize in medical, logistics or intelligence.

What are the chances that it was actually her dissent, rather than something written up by her staff of clerks? (A question applicable to many judges, of course.) Did she even read it?
