The Supreme Court yesterday, shut down the racist "affirmative action" admissions policies of Harvard, North Carolina and by default, the rest of the country.
The schools had been using race as one of the criteria for entrance, and specifically one race. The court rightly ruled, that these bigoted policies violated the 14th Amendment.
The left lost its mind, but my favorite moment was when Whoopi Goldberg said on The View "Is it leading to no women in colleges soon? Who knows."
"Today is a historic victory for Asians and all Americans. After fighting against the anti-Asian discrimination in college admission for 35 years, today we finally see the justice of the US Supreme court provide equal protection of the law to all communities," Yukong Zhao of the Asian American Coalition said.
Meanwhile Harvard responded and to me this sounds like the promise of a workaround. "We write today to reaffirm the fundamental principle that deep and transformative teaching, learning, and research depend upon a community comprising people of many backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences. That principle is as true and important today as it was yesterday. So too are the abiding values that have enabled us—and every great educational institution—to pursue the high calling of educating creative thinkers and bold leaders, of deepening human knowledge, and of promoting progress, justice, and human flourishing." In the coming weeks and months, Harvard said it would work to "determine how to preserve, consistent with the Court’s new precedent, our essential values."
What do you think? After SCOTUS removed racist admissions, will Harvard and others use workarounds to continue the bigotry?
