What the curtailing of affirmative action means for higher education
The Supreme Court ruled against race-conscious admissions last Thursday. As Atlantic writers have noted in recent days, this ruling has the potential to exacerbate tensions in American higher education and society as a whole. An understanding of the ruling and its impacts can better equip institutions and employers to pursue equity in its aftermath.
Today’s newsletter brings you stories about how the affirmative-action ruling will affect the future of higher education.

1 年New university admissions requirement: Please write a statement explaining how race affected your life, and tie it to a quality of character or unique ability that you can contribute to the university. Woke is nothing new. It’s just old Communism wine in a new bottle, same idea, same compassion, and same goal. In 1950-1960s China, you could only go to university in two ways: 1) If you are from an under-privilege class/group, you write about how your under-privilege class affected your life, how oppressed you and your family are, and how much you hate the oppressed classes and groups, and wanted to bring "justice" to it. 2) If you are form a privilege class/group, confess your sin of being in privilege, cut yourself off from your family, disown and public criticize/humiliate your parents simply because they are in the privilege class. The key is to not judge people based on their merits or characters, but based on which class/group they belong to. In 1970s China, nobody went to university. the whole society was in total chaos and people were killing each other by millions. (take a guess on who got killed) So, where will Woke take us from here? https://fakenous.substack.com/p/the-supreme-court-on-affirmative

1 年The curtailing of Civil Rights in Higher Education, to me, is an afront to American values, cunlture and history. It is the vain attempt of a seemingly elitist current majority of the U.S. Supreme Court to throw American progress overall back perhaps to post-Civil War America itself. It is a decision that needs to be and I’m sure will be reversed, but when that day will come and to what extent when it is remains to be seen. There are probably pros and cons in this effort, but I cannot specify them at this time. There are pros and cons to most things that we do in life, but this reversal by the U.S. Supreme Court needs to be quickly addressed. I’d be glad to elaborate more if and requested by the Court itself; thank you.
The first article by itself is well worth the post. And it is interesting that white students benefit most from athletic based admissions with many on scholarships subsidized by the money sports (football and basketball) where the money is often generated by Afro-America players.
