SCOTUS delivers a stunning blow to the radical left’s agenda! The end of affirmative action sparks controversy as President Biden clashes with the conservative majority. Find out why race-based admissions have been deemed unconstitutional and what this landmark ruling means for universities and equal rights in America!
In a direct rebuke to race-based decision-making in college admissions, the Supreme Court has struck down affirmative action. President Biden swiftly voiced his disagreement, accusing the Court of ending equal opportunity. He urged universities to defy the ruling and continue prioritizing diversity. But Chief Justice John Roberts, in the majority opinion, emphasized that eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating it entirely. The Court held that the Equal Protection Clause applies universally, irrespective of race or color.
The decision, rendered in a 6-3 vote along ideological lines, overturns the 2003 ruling in Grutter v. Bollinger, which had allowed universities to consider race as one of several admissions factors. Harvard College and the University of North Carolina had argued that race-based admissions programs were essential for campus diversity. However, the majority rejected these arguments, forcing a reworking of admissions criteria throughout American higher education.
The ruling aligns with the principles of the 14th Amendment, which ensures equal protection under the law. Public universities and most federally-funded private colleges must adhere to this standard. The Court has historically permitted racial preferences only in cases of specific illegal discrimination, not as a means to compensate for general social injustices.
President Biden’s reaction to the decision has ignited controversy. By calling on universities to disregard the ruling and continue considering race in admissions under the guise of “adversity,” Biden appears to be endorsing institutionalized racial discrimination against Asian-Americans and undermining the principle of equal opportunity.
Attorney General Garland, in a show of support for affirmative action, vowed to use legal tools to promote student diversity. He emphasized that diversity is a strength that should not be abandoned. However, the Court’s decision highlights a shift towards a color-blind society, where meritocracy and individual achievements take precedence over immutable characteristics.
The dissenting liberal justices, led by Sonia Sotomayor, decried the conservative majority’s interpretation of color-blindness as entrenching racial inequality. They argued that America’s leadership must reflect the diversity of its people and that the Court’s ruling ignores the lived experiences of marginalized communities.
Justice Clarence Thomas, a black justice, passionately disagreed with the dissenting opinion, asserting that individuals should not be reduced to their race. He argued against a race-infused worldview, advocating for a focus on personal achievements and individual choices rather than perpetuating victimhood. Justice Thomas emphasized that race should not be a determining factor in admissions decisions.
The Supreme Court’s decision is a significant victory for those who advocate for a color-blind society, where opportunities are based on merit rather than racial preferences. Critics of affirmative action argue that considering race perpetuates divisions and undermines equal protection under the law. This ruling affirms the principle of fairness and opens the door to a more equal and inclusive society.
Color-blindness prevails as SCOTUS strikes a blow against racial preferences in college admissions. Liberal justices’ dissents fail to acknowledge the importance of meritocracy and individual achievements. The Court’s ruling sets the stage for a more equitable America, where opportunities are based on personal accomplishments, not the color of one’s skin.
