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.

They can easily get around the ruling by asking prospective students whether they prefer barbecue, ranch dressing, or soy sauce. Sources at Harvard faculty were overheard saying...

"what we really want to avoid is too many, um, [i]soy sauce lovers [/i]here at Harvard,"

...said Alta Mauro, Harvard's Associate Dean for Inclusion and Belonging.

"They're kind of boring because they study all the time, which is lame. But you need a few of them on campus because sometimes you can pay them to [i]do your homework for you." [/i]

'What we really want are more BBQ sauce lovers here at Harvard," said Mauro. "They give our campus a, um, [i]colorful feel.[/i] They bring with them a wonderful, um, unique cultural flavor to student life. Unless they're white. White people suck. I hope white people die."

Of course including a freestyle rap battle with other applicants would help a well.

@PatKirby Yes, there's been anti-affirmative action rulings before (the Bakke case in 1978) and here we still are, with affirmative action. The proponents will get around this ruling just like all the others. Full speed ahead for them.

If I recall correctly affirmative action started off in the 40s with age discrimination of elderly employees (Gray Panthers?). But it was hijacked by the left and morphed into the mendacious circus it is today that they do dubious mental gymnastics to justify.
