The group behind the Supreme Court cases that gutted affirmative action in higher education is newly asking the justices to block race-conscious admissions policies at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
In June, the Supreme Court handed down its landmark ruling effectively barring the use of race in college admissions, but the decision did not apply to the nation’s military academies.
Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA), which brought last year’s cases, has since looked to demolish the exception, suing both West Point and the Naval Academy.
The group so far has been unsuccessful, leading it to bring the issue Friday before the Supreme Court on its emergency docket.
You fail to see that we want the same outcome; only that we disagree on how to do it. Do you truly care about abolishing racism, or are you just caring about what benefits one race? That’s racist in and of itself.
So we will just forget all of history and wake up tomorrow and say that a white guy and a black woman have the same chance of getting a well paying job?
No, there’s other problems we need to address too. Dealing with racism isn’t a quick fix, it’s something everyone has to work together to stamp out.
I think a business choosing to a hire a worse candidate because of their race deserves to suffer the consequences of having less-adequate employees.
It should reflect in their services, which should reflect in their customer retention and ultimately their profits.
This goes both ways.
