Boston University School of Law students were offered therapy after three controversial Supreme Court decisions this week about affirmative action, religious freedom and student debt forgiveness.
The BU Law Student Government Association's (SGA) statement, sent out to law students Friday afternoon, denounced the three Supreme Court decisions of the week: Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, 303 Creative LLC. v. Elenis and Biden v. Nebraska.
In an email obtained by Fox News Digital, the student board began by lambasting the Supreme Court's decision in the Students for Fair Admissions case, which declared race-based affirmative action in college admissions is unconstitutional.
"[The assenting judges] went so far as to say that the race-based admission system uses race as a negative and operates it as a stereotype," the letter stated. "They may couch their opinion in legal jargon, but we all know what this opinion aims to do: advocate for a ‘colorblind’ admission process."
"However, as many of our students know and Justice Sotomayor says in her dissent, ‘ignoring race will not equalize a society that is racially unequal,'" the letter proclaimed.
"As a reminder, BU also offers a number of wellness resources that are willing and able to help students navigate these times."
The university's law school is not offering specialized counseling for its students, but the SGA recommended resources that are already available.
Two of the resources were BU Behavioral Medicine and BU Student Wellbeing. According to its website, BU Behavioral Medicine offers therapy, on-call service for mental health emergencies and mental health diagnoses, among other services.
The student government criticized the decision in 303 Creative LLC. v. Elenis, which gave a Christian web designer the right to deny services to same-sex couples. It also condemned Biden v. Nebraska, which ruled President Biden's proposed student loan forgiveness plan was unconstitutional.

What pussies!! GTFO of the country! God bless the Constitution, the supreme law of the land!
Keep in mind these are not undergrads.
These young people already completed four years of college to get into law school.
Plus you have to be reasonably intelligent to get into law school.
Although, based on Affirmative Action we know that they make exceptions for certain pigmented people.
Which is why people like Michelle Obama could not pass the Illinois Bar Exam
Love it brother.
Powerful.
Isn’t that the school where the President of the Univ. spent half a million dollars to keep an UNQUALIFIED minority, female out of a 30K a year job?
That cased dragged on and he finally won.
They might learn the law, but I’ll bet they don’t have a single class session on the Constitution.
A thoroughly disgusting & sad statement on today's collegiate snowflake scholars.
Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Castro would have had these whiny leftists shot or sent to the Gulag. Whatever you think of the old school Communists, they were definitely not snowflakes.
Well this is the alma mater of one AOC.
“To help students navigate these times”.
Does this generation ever have fun?
The alma mater of Howard Stern and Bill O’Reilly.
Damn. I thought for sure this was the Babylon Bee. The line between reality and satire has become very, very thin. It’s almost gone.
One of my favorite all time movies is still “...and justice for all...”. The movie about judges and lawyers starring Al Pacino. A very accurate movie that is about as close as it comes to the justice system in this country.
More. The supermarket is a public accommodation. A bakery might be, but only for generic productions. This is something which hasn't been argued out. A baker should have to bake a generic cake, but shouldn't have to bake and decorate a cake to the buyer's taste which the baker finds obscene.
And, a photographer should be able to accept or decline commissions for any event (s)he finds distasteful.
Sit them in a locked room with just one green crayon.
I weep for the future.
Sounds right to me.
Bttt
God deliver us from lawyers.
That university must be filled with fags, wannabe babykillers and student loan grifters.
