US president says ‘the court once again walked away from decades of precedent’, as Democrats decry supreme court’s affirmative action ruling
US president says ‘the court once again walked away from decades of precedent’, as Democrats decry supreme court’s affirmative action ruling
exactly.
Like I get the logic in the ruling.
The problem is it doesn’t acknowledge the reality that systemic systems can’t be trusted to be race-blind. and to be honest, neither can individuals (any individual.) Ultimately it’s a question of … how do we advance inclusion without discriminating for minorities (as apposed to the current systemic system discriminating against minorities)?
I don’t know the right answer, but I’m pretty sure the SCROTUS hasn’t hit anywhere near the mark.
Here’s a suggestion: invest more money in education and provide economic help to these under represented minorities so that they have a better chance of getting in without a handicap, seems like the obvious choice to me? rather than dumping down the process for their sake, why don’t we try to get these minorities to increase their competency levels so that if they got in it was because they actually had the scores to do so and not because of the color of their skins?
