The only good thing about this political catastrophe is that we will never again have to entertain Republicans’ gaslighting bullshit about how they’re not racist they just believe in merit blah blah…
Justice Roberts welcomes this nail in the coffin of racism.
Pssst! Obama passed a law against ingesting rat poison. MAGA! Pass it on.
Good. Admission should be based on merit. Period.
The shift would give schools and universities the federal government’s blessing to take a race-neutral approach to the students they consider for admission.
sigh. I said this before when SCOTUS was taking up the case before them re: Affirmative Action. This won’t really affect the top level Universities admissions decisions because it’s in their better interest to have as open a policy of admissions as possible for a variety of reasons. If attracting top tier, international academic talent is a priority then it’s always a positive to demonstrate that they have a diverse student body. This will give the lower level schools a reason that all their students are White because their grades are better.
Well, racists gonna racist
Or if they were members of the bush family who by legacy admissions were guaranteed a place at Yale no matter how dumb they were.
Further proof that inferior white people rig the game for themselves because they do not like competition from the superior inferiors. (Also see Baseball, Major League, prior to Jackie Robinson, ad nauseum. All baseball records prior deserve an * that says **Did not hit Negro pitching.*)
Betsy DeVos and Kirstjen Nielsen seem to be cut from the same vile cloth as Comrade Trump.
Would you believe that Roberts is being touted as the next moderate middle of the roader on SCOTUS?
Well that whole affirming PPACA thingy really was a huge black mark in his Republican permanent record.
Yeah, that was his moderate moment.
Betsy de racist
Yes. because merely asking that schools just think about racial diversity when making admissions decisions at the university level undermines the very fabric of this country. The president making racist comments, of course, makes America great again. Or confederate again…
Might as well run just one story, “Trump rolls back, or will roll back, anything related to Obama’s legacy.” aka “erase the black president”.
Someone earlier wrote that DeVos and Njieljsjenj were cut from the same evil cloth as Trump. One case in point, DeVos is Erik Prince’s (of Blackwater infamy) sister. Siblings. I think the evidence is pretty clear…
How does so much evil come from just one family?
Merit, as defined by whom? The DeVos family?
Well, when you drive into a ditch, I guess the far-right lane starts to look like the middle…
If they ditch experienced or qualified, it will be just like selecting Trump’s cabinet.
“American exceptionalism” is dead also. We have proven to the world that we are a country of exceptional racists and idiots.
