Proposition 16: California voters reject proposition legalizing affirmative action

November 07, 2020 - affirmative action policies in the state.

Proponents of Proposition 16 argue that it is necessary to remove the ban on affirmative action to increase the enrolment of ethnic minorities like African Americans and Hispanic Americans in the higher education system. Opponents, on the other hand, argue that this undercuts a system whose only basis for enrolment should be merit. (Related: Conservative watchdog sues California for law mandating diversity quotas ...

Supreme Court rules affirmative action UNCONSTITUTIONAL, counts as RACIAL PREJUDICE

July 04, 2023 - affirmative action actually increases the likelihood of the U.S. being more racially unjust.

"The Court subverts the constitutional guarantee of equal protection by further entrenching racial inequality in education, the very foundation of our democratic government and pluralistic society," she wrote.

Supporters of affirmative action claim this ruling will lead to fewer non-White students being admitted to campuses, especially to the nation's most prestigious ...

Trump ends affirmative action, shifts federal policy toward merit-based practices

January 23, 2025 -

In a sweeping move that marks a historic shift in federal policy, President Donald Trump signed an executive order  rescinding President Lyndon B. Johnson’s 1965 Executive Order #11246, which established affirmative action in federal contracting and hiring. The new directive, titled “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity,” bans race-based discrimination in federal contracts and publicly funded universities, effectively ...

Supreme Court’s silence on Boston case sparks concerns over affirmative action consistency

The case, Boston Parent Coalition for Academic Excellence v. The School Committee for the City of Boston, centers on a policy introduced in 2021 that replaced standardized tests with a ZIP code-based quota system for admissions to Boston’s competitive “exam schools.” The policy allocated seats based on applicants’ ZIP codes, reserving spots for students with the highest grade ...

Pittsburgh professor stripped of position after publishing paper questioning affirmative action in admissions

August 08, 2020 - affirmative action in our schools. Wang clearly does not support such programs, at least to the degree that they have been used in admissions. It is a view that is consistent with some of the members of the Supreme Court in cases like Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action (2014) and Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978).

Yet, Wang has been apparently been removed from his position as Program Director of the Electrophysiology ...

Ben Shapiro celebrates Palantir announcement about affirmative action hiring quota for JEWS: “love this”

December 10, 2023 -

Even though Shapiro for years blasted the idea of affirmative actions for blacks and other dark-skinned people with non-Jewish identity, suddenly he is in full support of giving Jews an unfair advantage in the hiring process at American companies.

Shapiro celebrated a recent announcement from Palantir that the company is "setting aside 180 positions" specifically for Jewish college students who say they feel "unsafe" at America's Ivy League institutions following ...

Harvard vows to continue making enrollment decisions based on AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, which the Supreme Court ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL

July 06, 2023 -

A memo that was issued to the Harvard community by President Lawrence Bacow on June 29 referred to a specific line in the Supreme Court ruling that says that colleges can consider an individual’s “discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise” when deciding who can attend. According to the memo, admissions committees will use this part of the decision to continue making decisions based on affirmative action.

Affirmative action’s idiocracy

March 28, 2022 -

(Article republished from DonSurber.Blogspot.com)

Oh, Dan Quayle was pretty slow on the draw.

Bush 41 wanted a baby boomer -- any baby boomer would do -- in 1988. And when you pick a person based solely on biography, you wind up with a dunce. Look at the next king of England.

Biden picked Ketanji and Kamala solely because they were black and female. He got two people who apparently are slower than him.

In her hearings on her nomination, Ketanji got ...

Supreme Court in “crisis,” according to media, because it finally agrees with most Americans that affirmative action is a racist policy

July 05, 2023 -

Just 32 percent of the country disagrees with the SCOTUS decision, while 16 percent of respondents said they simply do not know whether or not affirmative ...

The Supreme Court decided this week that "affirmative action" policies designed to admit more non-whites at institutions of higher learning are unconstitutional. In a 6-3 decision, admissions criteria across American higher education can no longer discriminate against whites.

The party of racism strikes again: Dems tell Blacks they cannot ‘succeed in a merit-based system’ after the Supreme Court rules affirmative action unconstitutional

(Article by James Howard Kunstler republished from Kunstler.com)

Yesterday was Fani Willis’s turn, her big scene. The Fulton County, Georgia, DA, wasn’t even scheduled to testify, but she barged into Judge Scott McAfee’s courtroom and seized possession of the witness stand like it was home-base in a game of ringolevio. This was after the morning vivisection of her boyfriend, the feckless Nathan Wade, testifying to the couple’s fun-filled romantic travels during the ...

(Article by Jonathan Turley republished from JonathanTurley.org)

During the Supreme Court oral arguments over affirmative action, Harvard’s counsel Seth Waxman struggled with an argument that race consideration was needed to maintain current admissions for minorities. Yet, he also maintained that it was not a major factor and that the consideration of race with regard to Asian students produced only a “slight disparity” and “had no effect with respect to outcomes....
