The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a major ruling on affirmative action Tuesday, rejecting the use of race as a factor in college admissions as a violation of the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.
Many universities have argued that race-based admissions ensures that student bodies remain diverse, while critics such as the plaintiffs in the cases argue the policy discriminates against many qualified students based on race.
Students for Fair Admissions, a student activist group, brought cases against both Harvard and University of North Carolina. The group initially sued Harvard College in 2014 for violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which "prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in any program or activity that receives Federal funds or other Federal financial assistance."

Normally, I would disagree with this but they are publicly funded now.
The govt has no right picking the winners and losers. That is for the private sector.
Not to mention, forcing people to do jobs and things they dont want to do, for whatever reason, goes against natural and human rights.And reading the tea leaves on this makes you think the Christian baker might win. Private businesses should be allowed to take on the jobs they want, not be indentured toward any request that comes through the door.
But that's another thread....and we will see, probably tomorrow
Now will see how certain people fly without a net.
I was in the airport yesterday and witnessed pilots between planes. I thought, "this is where you definitely don't want identity-specific admissions. How about just people who can....fly a plane?"
Liberals:
That is NOT to say black, brown, whatever people cannot fly planes. But the ONLY criteria should be: can you fly a plane?

Even in California, voters here rejected race-based admissions in our government schools, twice (Yes on Proposition 209 in 1996, No on Proposition 16 in 2020).Dang. I did NOT know support for AA is this low. Even 60% of DEMS oppose it!
