It was definitely time. Whenever hiring, promotion, opportunity is based on anything other than efficiency, competence, merit, earned credentials, experience, track record etc. you reduce the quality of the work force/faculty/organization/student body etc. and encourage mediocrity, inefficiency, incompetence and sometimes malfeasance. Affirmative action anywhere is unfair because it denies opportunity to those who have most earned it and even the qualified among those who benefit are diminished because no one can know if they qualified or got their position, promotion, appointment or whatever on merit or just because they belong to a particular demographic.First the court ended the bloody reign of Roe v. Wade, now they have put an end to racist college admissions policies.
The racist, anti-civil rights left has suffered another HUGE defeat at the hands of human rights and decency!
Also, the racist justices on the SCOTUS outed themselves with their dissent. Not that we didn't already know...

Supreme Court Strikes Down Racial Preferences in College Admissions

The Supreme Court struck down racial preferences in college admissions on Thursday after an Asian-American advocacy group challenged policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina as discriminatory.
The case, Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, will go down in history as one of the landmark cases of the court, and marks a milestone in decades of affirmative action litigation.
The decision was a 6-3 split between conservative and liberal justices, with the majority opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
This SCOTUS decision is one more major step in restoring common sense and fairness to the system and will be good for the person in a minority group because there will be no doubt that he/she qualified for and earned his/her position.
I agree with others that this is a huge step forward to help eliminate racism.
