Donald Trump Jr. addressed the Turning Point Action Conference, discussing the controversial topic of affirmative action. He criticized the policy for admitting unqualified individuals to top universities based on factors like race and gender, rather than merit. Trump Jr. highlighted the harm caused by this flawed system, citing Joy Reid’s admission to Harvard through affirmative action. He emphasized the need to prioritize meritocracy over divisive and discriminatory policies. The recent Supreme Court ruling overturning affirmative action at colleges has been welcomed by conservatives. It recognizes that such policies discriminate against more qualified individuals. Affirmative action fosters entitlement and mediocrity, undermining American values of hard work and dedication. The conservative movement advocates for equality of opportunity based on merit, not race or gender. It’s time to move away from affirmative action and embrace a more united and prosperous America.
