Adding Insult to Injury
Affirmative action may not be the perfect solution to achieving diversity, but what, indeed, is the desired alternative? On that, there seems to be no consensus, or so it seems.
The Biden Administration was not caught off-guard nor totally surprised by it. Regardless of the SCOTUS decision, the President is urging colleges and universities not to abandon their long-term goal: achieving real diversity and providing educational opportunities for historically disadvantaged minorities to better themselves.
Most fair people would agree with this statement: It’s hard to argue that affirmative action hasn’t (largely) been a successful policy. To have the policy reversed is bad enough; this decision coming from a totally corrupt Supreme Court is a travesty!
Get With the Program, Thurston!
Racially Diverse Without Affirmative Action? “The Supreme Court says American colleges can no longer consider race in their admissions decisions.

Biden administration officials are working to finalize additional actions.” How We Got Here x Clarence Thomas cast the deciding vote in the 5-4 Bush v. Gore decision that gave the presidency to the Republican Party in 2000. Bush then appointed John Roberts and Samuel Alito, both of whom voted to kill affirmative action today. pic.twitter.com/dbZsvUqPrH — Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) June 29, 2023
