WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Supreme Court agreed today to review the constitutionality of the consideration of race and ethnicity in college admissions cases.
The case involves the admissions practices at the University of Texas at Austin. It is possible that the Supreme Court could rule in a narrow way about UT. But the case also gives the justices, several of whom are dubious of the consideration of race by schools and colleges, a chance to limit or ban the consideration of race in college admissions. The case will now be heard in the fall, with a decision likely in early 2016. The issues in this case are likely to be debated in the 2016 presidential race.
As is the norm in cases it agrees to hear, the Supreme Court did not issue any explanation.

If they need examples, they need look no further than the White House.
ReplyDeleteIf they can't accept that one - look at the mayor and DA for Baltimore!
Affirmative Action IS a discriminatory law. I love a story I saw once explaining it. Two kids, one grant, both equally qualified. 1 kid has a doctor and a lawyer as parents. The other kid has a food service worker and a plumber for parents. Who gets the grant money? The black student whose parents are.....the doctor and the lawyer.
ReplyDeleteNow what happens to the white kid? He was of course discriminated against because of this law.
Think about it folks. It's an absurd law.
If they rule against affirmative action everyone on here will site them as heroes. So which is it?
ReplyDeleteWill this include hiring and promotion practices better known as QOUTOS?
