Major Victory For Conservatives And America

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down affirmative action programs at
the University of North Carolina and Harvard in a major victory for conservative
ending the systematic consideration of race in the admissions process.

The court ruled that both programs violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution
and are therefore unlawful. The vote was 6-3 in the UNC case and 6􀀂-2 in the Harvard case, in
which liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was recused. [b][i] That means she is unqualified to perform legal duties because of a potential conflict of interest or lack of impartiality.[/i][/b]

The decision was hailed by prominent conservatives, who say the Constitution should be
"colorblind," with former President Donald Trump calling the ruling "a great day for America."
The decision was condemned by liberals who argue that affirmative action is a key tool for
remedying historic race discrimination.

I’ve seen a number of times where Black students have been afforded/ offered acceptance to many Universities of note and that very likely is/ was based on their academic achievements, not their skin color. Potential leaders in our nation’s future, and I’m good with that.

@soar2newhighs Oh you've seen it have you? And you saw the far better qualified White (of course) students who were rejected?

@SW-User These students were featured in news items, ergo I saw them. Not many news items on whites who had the same successes, and I don’t know that those whites who were offered acceptance at Universities were rejected. Do you? If so please cite.
