Even better would be to handle admissions blind, no name, no sex, no race, etc., just test scores, maybe activities and all if they are independently and consistently scoreable. Private schools should still have right to give preference to legacy applicants. All schools receiving federal money directly or indirectly should give absolute preference to US citizens.
Stopping racism with more racism is racism and pretty much sums up stupid democrat party logic.
People with lousy cultures who blame others for their lack of motivation hardest hit.
There is a battle in this country between ‘Equality of Opportunity’ vs. ‘Equality of Outcome’. Equality of Outcome is exactly identical to Communism, which has always failed everywhere it has been tried. It fails because it is racist and it is corrupt. Both guarantee failure.
We won this skirmish, but the battle isn’t over. The biggest battle will be prying the education system from the Communists.
It’s always amazed me how people that benefit from affirmative action policies fail to realize its actually slap in their face.....basically what AA says is you are handicapped and can’t compete on a level playing field.
Personally I couldn’t accept a job I was just handed for no good reason and knew I wasn’t qualified for.
Fairness? American Colleges and Universities aren’t here to promote fairness. There job is to serve America by preserving and advancing our culture and our country by educating men and women about our civilization and providing them the professional skills to provide service in the best interests of their communities and country.
The Universities hate the decision because they want ALL the authority to pick whom they want, regardless of status. In other words, ALL your money belong to us and get the hell away from us. We are our own gods and you are ignorant ants.
The Supreme Court giveth and the Supreme Court taketh away... Blessed be the name of the Supreme Court. It has taken decade upon decade to undo the wrong-headed decisions of previous incarnations of activist Justices who decided that it was okay for mothers to kill their children in the womb or that giving preferential treatment to one class of citizens, based solely on race or gender, does not constitute unfair and unconstitutional discrimination. It has always been thus and will be, again. Give it another 4 or 5 decades for liberal, activist Justices to once more be in the majority to undo these decisions we celebrate today. There are no immutable truths that spring from the Supreme Court. The whole concept of precedent or strict adherence to the rule of laws embodied in our Constitution is a transitory vapor. It has always been and will always be.
