Supreme Court rules that Harvard and North Carolina Universities cannot use skin colour to determine admissions
From here:
Supreme Court rules against affirmative action, in favor of religious liberty | Just The News
“The Students for Fair Admissions filed two cases dealing with affirmative action against the University of North Carolina and Harvard.
The legal group had argued that the University of North Carolina violated the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause by using race as a consideration in admissions when it is not needed to achieve diversity in its student body.
In the case against Harvard, the group argued that the school violated the Civil Rights Act by discriminating against Asian Americans, who are less likely to be admitted than white, black or Hispanic applicants with similar qualifications.”
Well, knock me down with a feather, Trevor. You mean that discrimination based on skin colour is illegal? Who’d have thunk it! I guess that will put paid to Asian (browns and yhellows) identifying as black. Not sure what the reds and whites will make of this, let alone any invading Martian greens.
If these two Universities broke the law, why aren’t they being sued by all those denied admission in favor of, presumably, blacks who would not otherwise pass admission criteria based on ability? How many kids frozen out by these bigoted admissions policies have lost “life opportunities”?
Perhaps a “neener, neener” by those disadvantage by bigotry is all they can do. Ponders – I wonder of there is a claim by the students over the period of active racial discrimination to claim the quality of their degrees has been placed in jeopardy by racist bigots in the Universities? You know, get them cancelled or fired or shamed or some such – as is the tactic used by the “woke” on those that don’t practise racism, bigotry, grooming etc that the “woke” fully embrace.
Guess who dissented? “Justices Elana Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Jackson, the court's liberal members, dissented from the majority in favor of affirmative action. While Jackson's name was written on the dissent, the court noted that she only weighed in for considerations dealing with the University of North Carolina case, not the Harvard one.”
Yeah right. So now we know who the racist bigots are on the Supreme Court. (A$$holes!).
In another decision handed down, a Christian was a “unanimous ruling in favor of a Christian whose beliefs prevented him from delivering packages on Sundays.”
I didn’t see any reference to working on religious holidays for any other faith, interesting!

EEOC seems to have forgotten its purpose (and seems oblivious to Title VII) ever since Covid and DEI rolled around, but the Chair and the organization feels compelled to opine on SCOTUS decision and use that as an opportunity to promote DEI in the workplace, as if it were allowed by Title VII.

I have no doubt that they will get around it. They already have be discounting scores on exams such as MCAT and not looking at GPA if a student happens to attend a school who even used the GPA system.
