Yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United States delivered two Big Wins for America. The best of which was to eliminate the accounting for color when deciding who will be eligible for college. The crux of the matter decided that quotas are wrong, they are illegal and not “just” according to the law. The decision caused the Liberal Tard Brigade to go BALLISTIC.
However, to the contrary, the Asian Community applauded the decision. Over the past decade, Asian Americans have been culled from Ivy League Colleges because they were Asian. But to simplify the equation of to many Asians be accepted for admission, the Universities decided to up the ante, by admitting people of color with lower scores on their Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) than a person of Asian descent. And we might add, back in the 20’s, Harvard for instance, set a percentage quota for those of the Jewish persuasion to 15%.
The Supreme Court says colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration as a specific basis for granting admission, a landmark decision overturning long-standing precedent that has benefited Black and Latino students in higher education.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion for the conservative majority, saying the Harvard and University of North Carolina admissions programs violated the Equal Protection Clause because they failed to offer “measurable” objectives to justify the use of race. He said the programs involve racial stereotyping and had no specific end point.
GOP celebrates as Democrats blast the court
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy hailed the affirmative action decision, saying that the justices “just ruled that no American should be denied educational opportunities because of race.” And Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement, “This is a great day for all Americans.”
Former President Donald Trump called Thursday a “great day for America.”
“People with extraordinary ability and everything else necessary for success, including future greatness for our country, are finally being rewarded,” Trump said on Truth Social. “This is the ruling everyone was waiting and hoping for and the result was amazing.”
