The principle of a republican form of government, where a State can decide on its own standards for enrollment in their own State schools.

If the State wants to set racial quotas for their schools, well then, they set them, and it's up to the State's voters and the State's House to set the rules.

That's "federalism," i.e., those powers not delegated to the federal government, or prohibited to the states, are reserved to the states and the people. Tenth Amendment stuff.
