Supreme Court ends affirmation action

I have been traveling all day. I have not read a single post in this thread so I might be providing an opinion already addressed.

My first thought when reading that the Supreme Court ended affirmative action is:

"Why wasn't the rich white person's affirmative action (legacy & donor admissions) ended also?"

What was done in the past was wrong. We can address that. But should we not be treating people equally now? How can that be wrong?

Because it wasn't legally challenged, and because the progressives who run Harvard don't want to end it.

Thank you for at least admitting you are ignorant up-front though.

All lies. Stop making stuff up.

I am all for that but I am sure most of those people are the same Hillary and Barack liberals. They always carve out a niche for them first before they give out their generous handouts.

That's absolutely insane. They literally answer 1/2 as many correct; the average Asian income is also 2x as high as the average black income. This obvious IQ gap causes income gaps.

well 3 racist judges on that court

Standardized tests are poor predictors of college graduation.

Students’ high-school grade point averages are five times stronger than their ACT scores at predicting college graduation, according to a new study from the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research.

Although I don't think the SAT penalizes for incorrect answers anymore.

This is amazing. There's always a tweet to show how they're hypocrites

If that's not a parody account that's hilarious.

The fact that their positions are so idiotic you can't easily tell if they're serious is even funnier.

And the democrats wonder why there are scarcity of blacks in computer programming and engineering. You need at least 90th percentile minimum on math section of the SAT for those occupations. That is the lowest. But they don't want to fix things. Democrats in cahoots with public school teachers to limit charter school openings in NYC. There are charter schools almost exclusively of black kids that are hitting scores out of park. Higher than students at top public schools in rich neighborhoods. Their parents have to sign a contract that they will have their kids do all the required school work or else they're shown the door quickly. Hard work pays off for everyone but democrats will continue to lie about racism. It's their systematic lies that have handicapped blacks.

I can't tell the difference anymore, so it stays up.

Charters and school choice are pretty much the only way out. Of course, these charters also tend to have far higher rates of parental involvement and the kids also tend to be more curious and value school more. It's a bit of 'chicken and egg' scenario but yeah, that does explain the gap. I can only think of about 4 black people I've worked with at my company, and 3 were African-born; Timnit Gebru is sort of the epitome of this - a great AI scientist (legitimately one of the best in the current generation) but Ethiopian born

I think that's a POE. Clever, though. Kind of captures the unexpressed logic behind some of this.

I don't think it is: "Proud Democrat: Former Field Organizer to elect President Biden. Volunteer for the Obama Foundation. (She/Her)"

"Parents have to sign a contract." What happens to the other students? When they are shown the door where do they end up?

By the way the scores these kids are hitting are not higher than the best schools- the schools where students need to take tests to get into, the tests that parents say are racist.

Admitting I did not read drivel from mindless followers who let uneducated form their ideas is far from ignorant.

The fact that the Harvard's of the world do not want that to end doesn't ring an alarming bell for you? Sad!
