SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN COLLEGE ADMISSIONS CALLING IT A VIOLATION OF THE EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE
Does this mean that affirmative action is done? Oh no. No no no no no. Schools have been abandoning objective tests of academic potential as well as emphasis of a student's grades precisely because they anticipated that this was coming. They are getting rid of all merit-based measures of a student -- so that they can continue affirmative action admissions without leaving a paper trail behind. Admissions will be based 100% on student essays, or, let's be honest and call them Student Declarations of Grievance and Disadvantage, because that's all they'll be going forward. And schools like Harvard will continue to rate Asian students as "lacking personality and interest," because they need to find some excuse for denying the admission of academic standouts. This will be the next series of court battles -- suing schools for Not-So-Stealth continuation of affirmative action policies, and trying to subpoena applications materials and evaluations of students. Do not be surprised when colleges and universities -- which we're all paying for through massive taxation -- adopt the FBI's policy of simply never recording critical conversations. You can't disclose what you never bothered to write down in the first place! Related: The left will make this the second-biggest election push, after Roe v. Wade, and just in front of transitioning everyone's children. The only good news -- it's not a popular issue, even in Democrat dominated California. John Sexton:
...the Harvard and UNC admissions programs cannot be reconciled with the guarantees of the Equal Protection Clause. Both programs lack sufficiently focused and measurable objectives warranting the use of race, unavoidably employ race in a negative manner, involve racial stereotyping, and lack meaningful end points. We have never permitted admissions programs to work in that way, and we will not do so today. At the same time, as all parties agree, nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant's discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise. But, despite the dissent's assertion to the contrary, universities may not simply establish through application essays or other means the regime we hold unlawful today... A benefit to a student who overcame racial discrimination, for example, must be tied to that student's courage and determination. Or a benefit to a student whose heritage or culture motivated him or her to assume a leadership role or attain a particular goal must be tied to that student's unique ability to contribute to the university. In other words, the student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual--not on the basis of race.
t. So will this hand Democrats another big issue on which they can campaign in 2024? Will they put affirmative action on the ballot? Probably not. As the NY Times pointed out Sunday, there's reason to think that while progressives may not be happy to see Affirmative Action go, they aren't likely to make bringing it back a central concern. Because it turns out they already tried to do exactly that in California. In 2020, Prop 16 was intended to bring back affirmative action, overturning a prior proposition which had outlawed it. But despite strong support from all of the usual suspects, the effort failed spectacularly.But don't worry -- that's just one track of the progressives' plan of attack. The other track is just ignoring the ruling, continuing affirmative action admissions, and claiming that they're judging students "holistically," and black students are just so much more holistic than white or Asian students. And you can't prove it because we destroyed all the records so f*** you, bigots.So in a deep blue state, in the year in which BLM was dominating politics, the push to bring back affirmative action got a measly 43% support. The Times has gone over the results in Los Angeles County, the largest county in the state, and found there was a pretty distinct racial divide on this question. The group least likely to support it were Asians. Despite a county made up of Democrats who overwhelmingly voted for Joe Biden, support for affirmative action just was not strong. Asian and white voters didn't offer majority support and even among Hispanics support was just 55 percent. The only voters who were strongly in favor were black voters. Here's a chart created by the Times which shows the results.
The 2020 campaign to restore race-conscious affirmative action in California was close to gospel within the Democratic Party. It drew support from the governor, senators, state legislative leaders and a who's who of business, nonprofit and labor elites, Black, Latino, white and Asian. The Golden State Warriors, San Francisco Giants and 49ers and Oakland Athletics urged voters to support the referendum, Proposition 16, and remove "systemic barriers." A commercial noted that Kamala Harris, then a U.S. senator, had endorsed the campaign, and the ad also suggested that to oppose it was to side with white supremacy. Supporters raised many millions of dollars for the referendum and outspent opponents by 19 to 1. "Vote for racial justice!" urged the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California... California is a liberal bastion and one of the most diverse states in the country. That year, President Biden swamped Donald Trump by 29 percentage points in California, but Proposition 16 went down, with 57 percent of voters opposing it.
The Princeton, New Jersey, high school senior Ziad Ahmed was recently admitted to Stanford University after writing #BlackLivesMatter 100 times in response to the application question, "What matters to you and why?" Haha! We're ALREADY implementing it!!!

"Former first lady Michelle Obama wrote about her own experience as one of the few Black students on her college campus and said in a statement that "today, my heart breaks for any young person out there who's wondering what their future holds — and what kinds of chances will be open to them."
"Today is a reminder that we've got to do the work not just to enact policies that reflect our values of equity and fairness, but to truly make those values real in all of our schools, workplaces, and neighborhood," she said."

Some of the better SVPs I worked for wouldn't consider any applicant with a degree from an Ivy. They would add a few others schools in there too.
Generally, they viewed their method as giving the non-priveledged, but more qualified from other unis, a step up.

I wish I had had the wisdom at 18 to choose a skill over college: my mom needed plumbing work and found a woman master plumber who had great rates and did excellent work. Her husband was a journeyman plumber who assisted her. The lady said she was working 50-60 hours a week because single women felt safe with her and her husband coming to their homes.
You can read and learn far more on your own than you can in a current college classroom, plus you have the freedom to make up your own mind about issues. These seems like a far better use of one's time, money and intellect than today's colleges and universities.

"And schools like Harvard will continue to rate Asian students as "lacking personality and interest," because they need to find some excuse for denying the admission of academic standouts."
I think more likely the result of the decision will be Fuck Whitey. The top of the top of the non-diversity pile will continue to get in, and those people are now mostly Asian and Indian. Shaniqua Jackson will continue to get in, no problem. So will rich entitled brats like Hemington Warbucks IV.
So where does that leave normal white kids (and underperforming Asians)? They are fuckeded. In 5 years, it will be 99.99% impossible for any white kid to get into any Ivy, unless Daddy Warbucks buys his way in. Hell, it's already 95% impossible.
White kids: best search your family tree for any hint of any kind of minority whatsoever, and use that as your ethnicity on your application.

He said the CRA was needed to quicken the pace to undo Jim Crow laws and the like as it would have taken a long time for cases based upon the 14th to be heard if at all.
So now do the 2nd Amendment. I'll wait.

I dont doubt colleges will manipulate things to try and get around this, but there will be high profile lawsuits across the country and some of them will be in front of conservative judges.

Only upper class who have every advantage from tutoring to financial resources need apply to college.
How many still require the "essay"? Perhaps diversity info could be "encoded" somehow into essays -- check boxes not needed.
I honestly believe the only legacy of this court will be its social and legal regressions, as it slowy moves the goals back to 1848.
Not unexpected! If it wasn't for Affirmative Action, Clarence Thomas wouldn't be sitting where he's sitting today!!! It is also a book end to Bakke.
Those who fear diversity and refuse to strengthen the bridge to greater opportunities for those who've been historically unable to cross, have torn the fabric of the American Dream today.
Thanks to DjT and the Magapublicans:
Women's reproductive rights have been slashed.
The rights of people of color to catch up educationally and economically with historically favored White people have been slashed.
The rights of LGBTQ people to assert who they are and love who they love have been slashed.

there's reason to think that while progressives may not be happy to see Affirmative Action go, they aren't likely to make bringing it back a central concern. Because it turns out they already tried to do exactly that in California. In 2020, Prop 16 was intended to bring back affirmative action, overturning a prior proposition which had outlawed it. But despite strong support from all of the usual suspects, the effort failed spectacularly.
=========
I also attribute this to the oft-observed phenom that people who vote Democrat actually embrace tons of conservative values and issues and would vote Republican much more often if they knew a damn thing about true conservatism and weren't blinded by the letter "R" -- which in their eyes stands equally for Republicans and Racists.

And so, 45 years after SCOTUS struck down raced based admissions we finally have racial equality in college admissions.
Funny how it took four decades plus to end Universities actively subverting the letter & spirit of the law. If Harvard et al were the ardent proponents of the Liberal Arts tradition of meritocracy they claim to be, they wouldn't care if every student was six-three and purple as long as they were brilliant.

History will likely judge the court that struck down Roe and Affirmative Action to be a conservative court. So if we actually do have a conservative court, what do we do with it?
The obvious conservative answer is nothing, that's not what the court is for. So let me phrase it this way, is there something else that we should undo with it?

You're letting the parents off way too easily in all this. The vast majority of those inner city school kids are three grades behind in the first grade and raised practically feral.
They're also constantly moving from apartment to apartment because someone went to jail and auntie has to take care of the kids or someone went on a drug bender and grandma has to take care of the kids. Or even worse, someone pulls them out of school for weeks at a time because the younger kids need a babysitter.
Teachers in good schools only have to deal with one or two troublemakers in class. Teachers in inner city schools would be happy to have one or two kids that weren't troublemakers.

Sean Davis had a good write upon how the Universities will just fund a new way of discrimination, like weighting Zip codes in to admissions.
The next push should be pointing out how universities are selling most admissions to foreign students (who generally pay full price) and that their filling their rolls with them at the detriment to US students.
Congress needs to get on top of both things, removing funding to any university that's discriminating against "the wrong" races, and those laundering tax payer money to foreign students.

TL;DR: donate to SFFA.
By the way, if you have anything left in your couch cushions for Students for Fair Admissions, they deserve a tip. They've been fighting this case for YEARS and suffered so many defeats in lower courts that the qualified students kept out of the colleges of their choice are now prepping their kids for SATs (which are getting ditched, I know).
But damn, they fought this fight valiantly and doubtless have many fights ahead as schools work around this victory with "cultural competence" criteria and whatever else they conjure up.

The only good news -- it's not a popular issue, even in Democrat dominated California.
Not without a lot of effort by the California Donk commie cocksuckers. They lost the fight over Prop 209, which (sort of) banned affirmative action, passed a law that was supposed to negate 209 (but was vetoed by Jerry Brown, of all people), tried to pass another proposition repealing 209 in 2020 but it got curb-stomped at the polls.
Funny thing, the father of Prop 209 is Ward Connerly, a black man who was a UC Regent at the time. It's the pasty white Donk commie cocksuckers who fight tooth and nail for AA.
It's almost as if the Democrat Party wants to make sure that Black Americans are treated as second-class citizens. But that's crazy talk. The Democrats have ALWAYS had Black America's best interests at heart, going back at least 170 years or more....

The idea that this "catch up" starts at college is kind of hilarious. Why catch up at all at college?

Why catch up when you can start earlier? Why don't they talk about catching up in kindergarten?

States should pass a Fairness in Admissions Acts.
Like the law that allows you to see your credit reports, colleges that decline you must not only explain why, but also must list the number, race, gender and age of any lesser qualified candidates who were admitted.
And to really give it teeth--mandate that applicants for jobs are disqualified from state employment unless the university they went to, regardless of the state, also complies with the Fairness in Admissions Act.
Those indoctrinated in blue states can stay in blue states.

He, like BLM's leaders, could care less about the black population unless they are agitating for them or writing them checks.

Ketanji Brown-Jackson, of course, was on the dissenting side. She went after Clarence Thomas with some choice quotes of her own:
"(His) opinion also demonstrates an obsession with race consciousness that far outstrips my or UNC's holistic understanding that race can be a factor that affects applicants' unique life experiences," Jackson said, adding that his concurrence "ignites many more straw men to list, or fully extinguish, here."
"The takeaway is that those who demand that no one think about race (a classic pink-elephant paradox) refuse to see, much less solve for, the elephant in the room -- the race-linked disparities that continue to impede achievement of our great Nation's full potential," the footnote said.
The second quote shows, of course, that she is at least as race-obsessed as she accuses Thomas of being.

While it's federal money, laundered through loans, it's the states that have the greatest power over universities.
They now have a powerful tool to crush AA--mandate that their schools disclose the criteria they use, how they scored applicants and which applicants are passed over for lower scores.
Let a thousand lawsuits bloom until AA is choked out.

I really wonder about this court....
We get a ruling on redistricting that will actually affect congressional majorities. The ruling will force states which according to the constitution have the right to determine their congressional districts to create majority minority districts based on a population breakdown, not where minorities actually live. This will force absurd geographic districts.
We get a ruling on AA that will just be circumvented and not really change much of anything.
So, are we winning?
This is what I mean about a schizophrenic court.

But look at where they are now? Again, its the trap of progressivism: you cannot stop changing, you never achieve your goals, you just add more on.
And, of course, there's the corruption of the movement, with true evil creeping in with every new year.

HARVARD REPLY
||Dear Members of the Harvard Community,
Today, the Supreme Court delivered its decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College. The Court held that Harvard College’s admissions system does not comply with the principles of the equal protection clause embodied in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. The Court also ruled that colleges and universities may consider in admissions decisions “an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise.” We will certainly comply with the Court’s decision.
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.||
The rest at link.

There was a documentary about him that interviewed him, and he talked about how he had to be perfect in school, he couldn't give racist elites any reason to hold him back. He also credits his strict grandfather for his success, titling his memoir "My Grandfather's Son."

Roberts' rebuttal of the dissent is surprisingly spicy.
"Lost in the false pretense of judicial humility that the dissent espouses is a claim to power so radical, so destructive, that it required a Second Founding to undo".

He can say stuff, but what the Supreme Court did today was rip away the traditional deference that higher education enjoyed for generations. The action will be in the state legislatures, not DC. UNC and the NC senate and general assembly have been engaged in in a kind of cold war for the last several years. I think things are about to heat up.

Even the democrat leaning, suburban soccer moms know its why their kids cant get into more elite colleges.
the trend has been brutal for elite prep schools they are really struggling to get their students into even T50 colleges. forget about ivies!
these people have money and have been very pissed off. so the response from the families (from my sense of what people do around here) has been to aim for good public universities (usually in the south, nowadays!) and getting a great scholarship. the girls seem to do better with T20 and Ivy placement (even if they're White lol). but the guys are hosed.
I don't even honestly care if this helps because I think that employers are already wise to the fact that you're getting a fantastic prospect from Alabama or U of F or Texas now. you are usually getting the top students (in reality) from northeastern prep schools!

Race can't be deconstructed, but "gender" can.
Thus "blackness" is a thing created by whites (who created "whiteness" for them).
But the thing that is true about it is that Europeans did create the abstraction called "white". That's on my group.

Republicans should actually sell to black families how most odd these colleges only have about 5% of classes that are worth taking, and are basically trying to lock students in to 4 years of dumbing themselves down. And how these families should look to get their kids into smaller colleges that actually want to teach them how to be productive members of society who can succeed.

JugEars talking about AA at Punahou is pretty rich. I mean, the only reason he was a student there was because his granddad was a rich bank executive.
And the only reason he played basketball at Punahou was because he was black.
"We need a ringer this year."
"How about the stoner negro in Social Studies with Dumbo ears? Those people are good basketball players."
"Brilliant!"
Of course, JugEars couldn't play basketball to save his life. He put up more bricks than a stonemason, which is why he spent all of his time riding the bench.

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, you cannot or should be able to force a university to adopt or abandon standards that it does not wish to adopt or abandon.
But discrimination based solely on race is anti-Constitutional if said college writes down on paper that that is what it bases its admissions policy on. How they treat students of different backgrounds once admitted is a whole other story.
But, for every college that values skin color over merit, let a thousand others blossom that value merit.

Yet, he went to Occidental for 2 years and then transferred to Columbia. There are people (like Wayne Allen Root) who don't remember him ever going to Columbia. I think it's because he couldn't transfer into Columbia College and went to the open-admission School of General Studies. That's the reason they keep his transcript out of sight.
However, he had the unique skill of being able to take law school exams. He actually was among the highest GPAs in his law school class, some of which was graded blind. For exams in law school the critical skill is to identify all the issues and both sides of the argument on an essay question, not to actually provide an answer. The system favors waffling bullshitters, and he rose to the top of the heap.

||Trump only living president not descended from slaveholders unlike 100 U.S. political leaders including Obama
The report, which examined the genealogy of America’s leaders up to the 117th Congress, unveiled that five living presidents, two Supreme Court justices, 11 governors, and 100 members of Congress had ancestors who once owned slaves.
According to Reuters, Presidents Biden, Carter, George W. Bush, Clinton, and Obama all have ancestral connections to individuals who enslaved Black people. Notably, Obama’s link can be traced back to his White mother’s lineage. In contrast, Trump’s family did not arrive in the United States until after the abolition of slavery.
Among the prominent names identified were Senators Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, and James Lankford of Oklahoma. Additionally, Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, Jeanne Shaheen, and Maggie Hassan, both representing New Hampshire, were also included in this group.||

Or how about the republicans who count on the ignorance of their voters to keep them in power "to stop the democrats".

Sure, and Kavanaugh and ACB didn't fall in line with Thomas when he wanted SCOTUS to drop the NC election case out of muteness. Thomas often wants to go further than the rest of the "Republican" jurists. He wanted to go further here than Kavanaugh and ACB were comfortable with, so they sided with Roberts enough to let him do his own thing which still provided enough for Thomas to sign off on it with a concurrence.

In other news: our company's newly hyperactive DEI department put out an angry email complaining that corporate support for sexual deviance, through merchandise and rainbow flags everywhere, is RAINBOW-WASHING and is actually dangerous to the queer/trans people.
"In today's narrative, Rainbow Washing is more dangerous than ever for such a vulnerable community trying to survive and exist in a world that is just not built for them."
"Dangerous." Not specified. And why should the world(!) be "built for THEM?"

I can recognize that. But they are state institutions, and we already have tighter strictures on state institutions.
For example, we tell a teacher that she does not have freedom of speech when she is on the job. She "represents" the Power and Authority of the State. So, she's not allowed to engage in behaviors the State can't.
And the local school board is not allowed to intervene and loosen up those restrictions.

The admissions department called me to do an emergency late interview for a black girl who clearly wasn't qualified. She got in (but turned Harvard down because she got a free ride somewhere else).

It was all Narrative Control. It's sort of like a Home Field Advantage they always give themselves. And it matters in terms of seeming legitimate instead of like the commie mental patients they all are.
The national vote may not matter - and I certainly don't give a fuck what happens to "Republicans" electorally - but when the rubber meets the road at some future date, popular sentiment - the zeitgeist - will matter.

For example, we tell a teacher that she does not have freedom of speech when she is on the job. She "represents" the Power and Authority of the State. So, she's not allowed to engage in behaviors the State can't.
And the local school board is not allowed to intervene and loosen up those restrictions.

Lamont
He rejected Stanford and just graduated from Yale . I think he was applying for grad school at Stanford. Anyone who actually cares can google him
He had worked with many Fortune 500 companies while in high school
Did anyone else google his name? Or was he just something too good to risk fact checking ?

By being state institutions, colleges are bound by standards of behavior that the state ought to be following.
No discrimination on the basis of race or ethnicity is a long-standing one.
They can just live on their endowments if they don't like be classed as a "state institution" and go private.
But they won't.

In time, degrees from the diversity candidate schools will be duly diminished and those from schools that require actual merit and demonstrated ability in a field will be coveted. Reality always wins. Doctors that can't doctor, lawyers that can't lawyer, engineers that can't engineer will sooner or later fall by the wayside. Malpractice and the coming lawsuits will take them down. Oh, there will be pain and destruction along the way for sure, but things that can't go on, won't go on. One way or another, merit will out.

Yeah, the students compete with each other to publish "notes," which are observations about recent court decisions that are like mini-briefs. Traditionally, one of the perks of being President is that you get to publish a note in the last issue of the year without competing for it. Obama blew it off. He was too busy marketing his yet-to-be-ghostwritten (first) "autobiography."

The people from Stanford would tell them to their face they wont get in because they already have too many Asians. Despite basically perfect transcripts.
Its so messed up that this is what America is now. Certain minorities openly being discriminated against because colleges value the black vote for the Democrat Party.

Elections are post-legal, though. Solutions need to be post-legal. I wonder if the rural people of Michigan appreciate their votes being invalidated by fake numbers on ballot boxes. Voting more isn't going to fix that. What else can they do?

But deep down, 70-80% of the America knows its wrong.

The other track is just ignoring the ruling, continuing affirmative action admissions, and claiming that they're judging students "holistically," and black students are just so much more holistic than white or Asian students. And you can't prove it because we destroyed all the records so f*** you, bigots.

Every student who applies to Harvard gets an interview from an alumnus. I had an Asian student once with perfect SATs and all the usual bells and whistles. He didn't get in. The admissions department called me to do an emergency late interview for a black girl who clearly wasn't qualified. She got in (but turned Harvard down because she got a free ride somewhere else). That was when I quit doing interviews.

The hidden crime of affirmative action is that these universities pull in students, even intelligent ones who are unprepared for the expectations of the university because of the failures of the government school system. These men and women fail, or change their major to useless 'studies' degrees and gain a load of bitterness. It is quite likely that if these same people were at a second tier university aligned with their test scores they could get a good education and become a success. In the current system these universities bring in underqualified students of their own and these in turn fail out or plump up the phony majors in those schools.

Cousin Pookie got up off his couch pretty ricki-tick today!
That reminds me of something funny I saw earlier on the Twats. Jordan Peterson did a speech at a college at 8:30 AM and no Antifa showed up even though they had promised to.
So is the key to not getting liberal counterprotests simply to do it before they're awake?

Did you listen to James Lindsay on the subject?
Race can't be deconstructed, but "gender" can.
Thus "blackness" is a thing created by whites (who created "whiteness" for them).
But the thing that is true about it is that Europeans did create the abstraction called "white". That's on my group.

Of course race can be deconstructed - look at the whole list of quadroons/octoroons and so on.
There have already been people grifting on race and ethnicity in Academia - Ward Churchill, Elizabeth Warren. Any weapon can be turned both ways.

And how's Putin's Invasion of and War in Iraq working out for him?

I can't remember a single setback or defeat there offhand, so probably pretty well.

All the f*%king drama but look back decades in government.
For example, State Police in certain states, IIRC PA was one, the White male "average" lower/middle income were already placed low for employment. The bottom-line, White had virtually no chance at such employment unless from a "connected" family. (Like getting into a military academy, etc.)
In the Federal government a decade + ago, certain executive branch agencies suddenly rated certain positions at PhD & some Masters degree levels. Never had that been the case in the past - it was completely unnecessary - but positions at GS-12 & above level positions for "connected" Whites were desired. Few lower/middle income background Whites were able to get jobs even with outstanding college transcripts & decent non-criminal backgrounds & health. Now the feds open decent positions - good grades & pay - to high school graduates and applicants from non-profits, often without prior work experience, but they meet certain EEO qualifications. And most military veterans, particularly non-officer, are still screwed for federal employment regardless race. (Resented by the unions, average employees, managers alike.)

How is it the state of California voted against affirmative action, and voted against gay marriage in Barack Obama's election year (200 and is still one of the most unbreakably left-wing states in the union?
Maybe abandoning social issues isn't quite the winning strategy the milquetoast GOP thinks it is.

Tech schools, tech schools and more tech schools. Burn those effing liberal arts schools to the ground with the academia standing at their podiums.

I foresee them fighting this much like NY and NJ are fighting Bruen - by making bald-faced lies that all of *this* complies totally with SCOTUS' decision.

Does anyone believe a white who outscores a black by 400 on the SAT can sue Harvard when it accepts the black in his place, because...equity? If so I have a goose that lays golden eggs just for you.
