The Grand Experiment of the US was, quite apparently, reversible in our generation. Which makes me very sad.

Ooooh. Hyperbole. Harvard could easily stop legacies, but they won’t. That how they got that $50,000,000,000 endowment.

Imagine being told that you have to look at an applicant based upon their qualifications and not the skin color you have, or whether you are a man or woman.

While the racist actions of the past are abhorrent, affirmative action lifts some racial or sex groups above others. Creating more discrimination to “repay” past discrimination is just as abhorrent.

This is truly the beginning of the end. The Great Experiment destroyed by it’s Elected and Appointed Official.

The largest misconception has always been that it was allowing unqualified people into major universities. It was not. It was about getting people seen, that would otherwise have been overlooked, because the wealthy always made sure they were seen first.

They have enough endowment built up over decades of jacking up tuition and other costs to pay for the education of every student forever. And their degrees are becoming less valuable the more they focus on far left ideology.

Find another school.

This awful ruling is opening the door for more official discrimination.

The oligarchy will look after its own every single time

The War on the Poor is also now the War on the Middle Class and actually has been for quite some time

Well, judge thomas got his. Why would he care about anyone else?

Enrollment numbers will tell everything.

And we thought SCOTUS had reached the bottom in June …

“… Public approval of the Supreme Court has fallen to an all-time low, a poll released Wednesday shows, as the nation nears the anniversary of the court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

A Quinnipiac University poll found just 30 percent of registered voters approved of the nation’s highest court, while 59 percent disapproved — which the poll notes is the demographic’s lowest approval rating for the Supreme Court since Quinnipiac started asking the question in 2004.

Just 10 percent of registered Democrats surveyed said they approved of the Supreme Court, compared to 53 percent of registered Republicans.

“American voters drop the gavel and prove harsh judges as a drip, drip, drip in approval gives the Highest Court its lowest marks,” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said in the release.

Nearly 7 in 10 registered voters in the poll reported thinking the Supreme Court is “mainly motivated by politics” — compared to a quarter who think the Supreme Court is “mainly motivated by the law.”

Eighty-five percent of registered Democrats think the court is mainly motivated by politics, compared to 51 percent of registered Republicans who said the same.

Sixty-five percent of the registered voters surveyed also said they support limiting the number of years a justice can serve on the Supreme Court; the nine justices currently serve for life. …" __ The Hill on June 21st

So only the very rich can go to university and college. Either that or go into debt for the rest of your life and just maybe find a job after graduation? Or is this hyperbole?

supreme Court doesn’t give a d8 mn about what history is going to think about them it’s all what they can put in their pocket right now and who can they screw over

The conservative status-quo six are doing their job as defined by their benefactors… return the country to at least pre-Civil Rights Era, preferably pre-Civil War Era.

Yeah, yeah, whack on my alma mater, but that’s NOT what’s going to happen there. The Supreme Court is trying to FORCE Harvard to give preference only to white people with money, but it ain’t gonna happen.

Harvard has the resources to look at every single applicant as an individual – they do some screening based on tests, but they go far more into depth than most other schools. They have already expressed their commitment to maintaining diversity – as an alumnus of the College and one of the graduate schools, I’ve been getting emails before, during, and after the decision.

The real problem is for state schools, like UNC, which can’t find workarounds.

Civilized nations don’t consider higher education to be just a personal benefit to the student but rather a plus for the whole society. That’s why they make their higher education affordable to all who want to do the work it takes.
