Surprise! Harvard Refuses to Obey the Supreme Court Ruling Outlawing Race Discrimination in Admissions. All They've Done Is End Discrimination Against Asians -- and Doubling Up on Anti-White Discrimination

I don't know how many surprises I can take in a week!

Matthew Schmitz
@matthewschmitz
Harvard did not stop discriminating by race, @herandrews writes. It simply stopped doing so against Asians. Affirmative action continues, but now it is entirely at the expense of one race instead of two.

Meanwhile, colleges are de-emphasizing standard English and championing black vernacular as a more authentic form of (academic!) speech.

That directive is a byproduct of the NCTE's 2020 Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), whose delegates demanded that

Teachers stop using academic language and standard English as the accepted communicative norm, which reflects White Mainstream English!
and that

Teachers develop and teach Black Linguistic Consciousness that works to decolonize the mind (and/or) language, unlearn white supremacy, and unravel anti-Black linguistic racism!
In short, delegates to that conference "DEMAND[ed] Black Linguistic Justice."
If you thought that academe's social-justice warriors would retreat in 2025, you will be disheartened to hear what just happened at the Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU).
In compliance with the CCCC's 2020 resolution, in December MSU's Writing Center redefined Standard American English as "a social construct that privileges white communities and maintains social and racial hierarchies." The writing center's new policy urges students to "us[e] their English (whatever that may be) in communicating their thoughts and ideas."
The Independence Institute was quick to mock MSU's decision, calling it "Good News for White Supremacists" because it "helps assure that people of color stay at the bottom." When the MSU writing center's new posting made national news, university officials "removed that content" and assured students that MSU "remains committed to rigorous academic standards and preparing all students for success in life and careers."
The NCTE's "new priests" view grammar instruction as "an instrument of imperialist oppression."

Meanwhile, an Ivy League president admits the undeniable: College education is suffering a historic lack of public confidence, and that lack of public trust is well-earned.

Very few do what President Beilock did. But I recommend that others try.
If you have not yet caught up with this story, here is what Beilock did: She published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, frankly acknowledging the drastic decline in public confidence in American higher education. She allowed that the loss of confidence is warranted.
As a reader of the Chronicle of Higher Education and other megaphones of the liberal establishment, I know that college presidents know Beilock is right, but they also know that it is an unspeakable truth. The best they can do is declare that the loss of confidence is temporary and that when people come to their senses, they will realize that their colleges and universities fully deserve the respect that students, parents, and taxpayers used to have for the nation's thinkeries.
But the American public is more skeptical than ever before in our nation's history that college is "worth it" and that judgment will only grow more intense in the years ahead--unless Beilock's sage advice is heeded.
Her short essay names five problems and their possible solutions. The problems are: unaffordability, poor return on investment, political posturing, erasure of poor performance, and corrupt admissions. I've phrased some of those more bitingly than Beilock does. For example, what I label "corrupt admissions," she phrases as the need "to reinstate an SAT/ACT requirement." That requirement was, however, banished mostly because it stood in the way of favoritism in admissions.

Many jobs today don’t even require a college degree. You can get some specialized training where your kid doesn’t have to admit his “whiteness” or loathing for the Jews. So long as you can beat out the Indian HB-1 scam, your in. There are also very well paying blue collar jobs on the trades.

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division (DOJ) filed a lawsuit today against Harvard University (Harvard), accusing Harvard of unlawfully withholding from the United States admissions data information necessary to determine whether Harvard is continuing to discriminate in its admissions process, even after the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College.

This is all of a piece with Newspeak in 1984. Continually shrinking peoples' vocabulary hinders the ability to formulate and express thought. Normalizing and teaching ghetto retardspeak accelerates the process. The inability to string an intelligible sentence together isn't a manifestation of "white supremacy" it's absolute necessary to individuation, self-expression, and independent thought. Which is why they want to get rid of it.

I think it is almost impossible. They rank applications based on more than just SAT. If it is just SAT, there is evidence but they are careful that it is not that. They will claim they wanted a "well rounded" application for admittance. Unless the DOJ demands quotas, but that can't work either. The system is fucked because society is fucked. Cut them off -- no government funding for anything, and tax those buildings too.

70 Simple solution to all the admissions problems.

1) Everyone takes the SAT.
2) SAT scores are submitted to the college.
3) Top 20% get automatic admissions.
4) Bottom 60% rejected.
5) Middle 20% go into a lottery, where the students are selected at random.

There you go - people likely to fail are not allowed in, and people likely to succeed are allowed in. In the middle, well, it's random, and hence perfectly fair. No essays, no legacy admissions, no DEI, no interviews, no extracurricular garbage, and your (inflated) grades don't matter.

By the way, the SAT has been shown to be an overwhelmingly good predictor of college success.

I was about to say it is coming. Kindltot at number 51 for the win. It's coming, and Harvard is about to take another broadside to the hull. They have no prayer in surviving it, and since the Griggs vs Duke Power case has not been overruled, there is the ability for a direct finding of discrimination, and since it will be in conjunction with violating a previous SCOTUS ruling, big money will be available. The left can pay them off, or ask for Griggs to be overturned. Neither helps them.

Somebody should work out your chances of being accepted to Harvard if you are white, and not a:

1) legacy
2) athlete
3) have a parent who is worth at least $100 million

I wonder how many white admits to Harvard are not in those three categories.

85 My sense is that black people in general aren't asking for this kind of quasi intellectual nonsense. Black academics probably are demanding the nonsense, along with certain whites who have always wanted to be seen as down with the struggle.
Posted by: Oglebay at February 18, 2026 04:41 PM (2ap+5)

It's interesting to me that the left is trying to elevate an accent/dialect simply because it is spoken by black people.

When Asian immigrants write english, they have no trouble with their l's or r's.
When Southerners write english, they don' drop their t's or add an r to words with an a in them or drop r's at the end of words.
When Bostonians write english, they don't add extra a's to words.

But somehow the Black dialect needs to be written. It's almost as though the white people pushing this think black people are incapable of learning proper english. Just like the white supremacists think.

90 I was about to say it is coming. Kindltot at number 51 for the win. It's coming, and Harvard is about to take another broadside to the hull. They have no prayer in surviving it, and since the Griggs vs Duke Power case has not been overruled, there is the ability for a direct finding of discrimination, and since it will be in conjunction with violating a previous SCOTUS ruling, big money will be available. The left can pay them off, or ask for Griggs to be overturned. Neither helps them.

It’s exactly that. Go search out some of the “countering whiteness” guides and posters. It’s literally the same stuff as used to come from slaveowners: it’s whiteness to care about the future, to care about family, to understand cause and effect, to reason. They literally deny the humanity of non-whites.

If only whites can make decisions, who will make decisions for non-whites? They will, of course. And you can see it every time some white liberal calls out a black, or a hispanic, or anyone else for not being a true black, etc.

The Trump regimes attacks on Harvard have failed so far. So they just keep trying to destroy one of the leading academic institutions in the country.

They realize targeting race based admissions wouldn't increase white enrollment but Asian enrollment right?

Basically, black urban culture is based on the redneck/cracker culture of the plantations of the Deep South. They are imitating the language, manners, and behavior of the former masters.

And modern liberals have encouraged and praised this culture that they would ostensibly despise and turned into authentic ‘blackness’ that can’t be criticized or changed.

154 I have a system for admissions I have worked on for decades.

1. Purely objective -- SAT, extracurricular, writing score, socioeconomic,... whatever. that can be worked out.

2. Federal oversight. Colleges must follow the score. Period.

3. OK, then what to do if you want more minorities? Well, allow (encourage) schools to set up farm leagues -- start at kindergarten if they think that works. Have Harvard (Berkeley, MIT, Yale, ....) run k-12 schools in the inner city. Let them admit based on whatever they like - race, inability to speak proper English, rap skills, bussin grills,,... whatever. Train those kids to do well on the score. Remover their disadvantage. That means in 12 years they should have good students capable of admission. If they can't do it, then that tells us something. If they can, it tells us how to improve our public schools to help everyone.

While he might support the lower rates Trump likes, he also wants to reduce the Fed's balance sheet, which the Powell-led Fed just stopped doing. Such a Fed policy is not ideal for private equity/credit. That's not great for institutions like Harvard and Yale a reason they would like to expand the market.

People will print it on paper and talk about it because it is unreadable.

How many people have actually read the text on the Statue of Liberty? Few, but we all learned it as a child. He wants that for his words.

239 "Whiteness", "white supremacy", "white privilege" are all stand-ins for Western Civilization. They can say they are tearing down "whiteness" and it sounds racist, because it is, but then you don't bother to think about why they want to tear down Western Civilization.

The witch trials are one of the most misunderstood and lied-about events in our history. To begin with, people do think mass numbers were killed. The reality? Maybe 20.

Of those 20, at least 5 were men.

And here’s the real kicker: most of the accusers were teenage girls. Yes, girls. The witch trials are seen as some crime by men against women, but the accusers were mostly women, and men were killed too.

People also think that Salem witches were burned.

BTW, I do not recommend a trip to Salem. It is the definition of a tourist trap.
