Affirmative Action is nothing more than institutionalized racism. I can see where it may have been necessary once upon a time, but it has no place in 21st century America. Accepting someone into a university because of their skin color is no different than denying them admission for the same reason. Chief Justice John Roberts of the SCOTUS put it best a few years ago when he said, "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court will once again confront the issue of race in university admissions in a case brought by a white student denied a spot at the flagship campus of the University of Texas.

The court said Tuesday it will return to the issue of affirmative action in higher education for the first time since its 2003 decision endorsing the use of race as a factor in admissions. This time around, a more conservative court is being asked to jettison that ruling and outlaw affirmative action in the university setting.

A federal appeals court upheld the Texas program at issue.

The case will be argued in the fall.
