Supreme Court guts affirmative action in college admissions

Good, race should no longer be a determining factor or special consideration in colleges or elsewhere. Equality is the goal not equity across race.


Supreme Court guts affirmative action in college admissions
"The Supreme Court says colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration as an express factor in admissions, a landmark decision that overturns long-standing precedent that has benefitted Black and Latino students in higher education."

Supreme Court rejects use of race as factor in college admissions, ending affirmative action

Washington — The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that race-conscious admission policies of Harvard College and the University of North Carolina violate the Constitution, bringing an end to affirmative action in college admissions in a decision that is likely to reverberate across college and university campuses nationwide.

The court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines in the University of North Carolina case, and 6-2 in the Harvard dispute, as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recused. Chief Justice John Roberts authoring the majority opinion.

I have little doubt the left will continue to defend and push for such racist policies.

 

I have no real feeling for this one way or the other, other than it's another historic failure by the most corrupt SCOTUS grouping in history.

I assume colleges will have other ways of keeping colleges open to qualified minorities "as an express factor"... they've certainly learned how to do so over the years...

I'm just going to lurk and watch the racsist roundup begin....

 

This is just another excuse of dismantling the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

that being said, if Asians and whites are thinking that they now have an advantage because of this decision, think again. If you look at California and its rejection of affirmitive action, neither Whites or Asians had any increase in acceptance to the top tier, highly selective universities.

 

Ity is a historic success

It overturns racist policies

 

About time. Keeping affirmative action in place proliferates racism.

 

Great job America.

This is absolutely for the better.

Astounding how the right wing has become the progressives…fighting for things like no racism in college admissions, among other very important topics like freedom of speech.

 

Clearly you do have “real feelings” on this. This removal of the racist policy seems to have upset you, among many other Dems. This is ok, as it’s part of progress. But progress is happening. America is a better place when we don’t allow racism.

 

Incorrect, this is actually more in line with civil rights lol.

 

Great Decision on Election Day 2016 by all of the Dem. Primary Voters in key swing states (Disgruntled Bernie Supporters, Etc.) who decided to "make a statement" and NOT vote for Clinton in 2016...
Whether they "sat it out" or voted 3rd Party/Write-in...
They sure showed them...:smdh:

 

Why would that change? It is the UNQUALIFIED or LESS Qualified being admitted over the QAULIFIED and MORE QUALIFIED based on race that is being challenged.

Yes I am watching those who support such racist policies and will be defending them.

 

It reinforces and confirms the 1964 Civil Rights Act. And if you are asserting there will be no change then you should not be concerned then.

 

I've had my own complaints with the Roberts Court, most particularly with the Sebelius and Dobbs rulings, but I have no complaint when it does its job and upholds the Constitution as it did with this ruling.

Interesting (and not surprising) how some of our Leftist/Demokrat friends have a problem with the SCOTUS upholding the Constitution, the 14th Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause:

 

Exactly lol. If there is no change then why keep it?

 

So you have no real feeling for it other than your strong feeling of hatred for it? Lol! Okaaayyyyy…

...makes about as much sense as if someone jumped out and said stuff and then declared they were just going to lurk…

…oh wait…

 

More specifics:

Now, what to do about the institutions, policies and vested interests that are failing elementary and secondary school students, i.e., our nation's youth...

 

Oh no doubt these libs are going to do what libs do and try to sneak their racism in there to get the right demographics they want. It’s just now they can be sued for it if they aren’t extremely sneaky indeed…

 

I've been discussing this with others for years. Finally!!! I couldn't be happier that equality under the law is going to be recognized.

 

I wish it had been overturned for reasons of the 1st, rather than 14th Amendment. Freedom of association. Hire, fire, provide opportunities to whomever you want for whatever reason you want. That would have gotten the government out of everyone's hair on this. Bureaucracies would shrink. Over head would reduce. Likelihood of court disputes reduced. More money, more freedom. Now, similar bodies will continue to do the socially corrosive cost ineffective nose counting.

 

Not really.

 

Your statement is literally the epitome of a oxymoron!

 

Objectively speaking it is.

 

Discrimination based on race is unconstitutional.

Serious question: Can you even name the case which started affirmative action? Can you describe the reasoning that authorized it? Can you state the limitations on it which were described in that case?
Are you even able to find it by googling around after I've given you the hint?

 

Dude, the only thing anybody should care about is if the most competent (regardless of race) are the ones being trained to be our engineers, scientists or doctors. Our safety is dependent on the most talented being elevated. When the playing field is level, I don't have to worry that the person piloting the jet I am on is a diversity hire. There is a reason that South Africa's infrastructure is in shambles and they will completely collapse in the next decade, diversity hires replaced competent people in critical positions across the entire spectrum. Diversity hires always mean someone more competent did not get the job. They contribute to inefficiency, injury and death.

 

The defense of AA was all about this. They were already pushing the idea that adding someone to the student body because of their race made things gooder. This may end up like trying to keep schools from grooming children. They will try to find a way to fit the child molestation agenda one way or another ie, "OK, we'll stick to math: if John has 5 anal beads and Fred as 6, how many do they have in total?"

 

I tend to view things in a simple manner.

If race was a key factor in making sure certain quotas were being met in college entrance, then it's a discrimination against those who were qualified, but didn't have the 'quota' skin color.

That pretty much is the definition of discrimination.
