The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) announced Monday that it will decide whether to prohibit the use of race-conscious affirmative action in college admissions decisions. The justices will hear challenges to admissions policies at Harvard University and University of North Carolina (UNC).
The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that the challenges are brought forth by a group called Students for Fair Admissions, led by legal activist Edward Blum, who previously sued both schools in 2014.
“The lawsuit against Harvard alleged the school used quota-like racial-balancing tactics that artificially raised the standards of admission for Asian-American applicants, in violation of federal civil-rights law. The challengers alleged Asians were admitted at a lower rate than whites, even though their overall academic scores were better,” the report said. “The lawsuit against UNC was similar to the Harvard allegations, though it added claims that the flagship public university in Chapel Hill violated the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection.”
According to the WSJ, “the challengers alleged the school [UNC] unlawfully factored students’ race into the admissions process, favoring Black, Hispanic, and Native American applicants and even caused them harm by inviting them into classrooms for which they weren’t prepared.”
Lower federal courts have previously sided with Harvard and UNC. In a statement, Harvard President Lawrence Bracow said the SCOTUS’ decision to review the cases puts at risk the ability for schools to create diverse communities, “which strengthens the learning environment for all.” Lawrence added that he would continue to defend Harvard’s admissions process.
UNC Associate Vice Chancellor Beth Keith said in a statement that the university will defend its admissions process, which she described as “holistic.”
In a statement, Blum said “Harvard and the University of North Carolina have racially gerrymandered their freshman classes in order to achieve prescribed racial quotas. Every college applicant should be judged as a unique individual, not as some representative of a racial or ethnic group.”
We have already seen what Racial Affirmative Action did to the Executive Branch – we almost got to experience Gender Affirmative Action there as well (thanks to President Trump for saving the country from another failed experiment).
Affirmative Action is Reverse Discrimination toward Whites in America ( Should be Illegal ) &
has gone on WAY too Long !!!
All the Perks it gives to Blacks is Discrimination to everyone Else in America the rest Don’t have !!!!
Affirmative Action > is the RACE CARD given to Blacks to Favor ONLY them over everyone else !!!!
Their cards are charged up & Out of Miles !!!! Time to BAN it from America & have Equality !!
Have School Choice & White Colleges ( just like they have Black ones ) !!!!
Start addressing the reasons Asians seem to be so much smarter.
It’s NOT because they are inherently smarter, oh no.
It’s because they have a mother AND a father in the house who don’t condone drugs, smoking pot, or violence.
They DEMAND excellence in their children’s academic efforts and do not tolerate anything less than their BEST effort –100% of the time. They make sure the homework is done and they CHECK IT, too. And being disciplined in school for telling a teacher to “shut your mothf***** mouth, bi***!!”??? REAL BAD NEWS in their household.
They teach (and demonstrate) respect and honor.
They don’t let their kids dream of being the next star running back for the Cowboys or the greatest point guard who ever lived, while they don’t go to class or do any homework.
So, because they like to fight, smack teachers in the face, hang out on the corner on school nights until 2am selling drugs (and fighting and shooting OTHER ghetto losers), and try to be the next Jay-Z, Harvard has to add 500 points to their SAT’s to even get them CLOSE to qualifying for THAT school. And even THAT concession often isn’t enough.
Scream about “equality” all you want. Yell about “discrimination” until you die.
Diversity is also total BS.
MERIT is the only standard we should have.
You want it? Go get it. It’s hard. And here’s some more truth — It’s also hard for white people, too. If it wasn’t, EVERYONE would be rich and influential
Just don’t tell me ANYTHING about discrimination as long as YOU are good with it as long as it’s in YOUR favor.
Your credibility is zero.
Now, here’s a ball — show everyone how you can dribble between your legs and hit the 3 pointer….
Yeah. I said it.
And that truth is KILLING you.
Lastly, if you don’t like stereotypes, quit fulfilling them.
Asians also started wearing masks way b4 masks were relevant. Hmmmmm.
