So Affirmative Action is basically dead for college admissions, further dismantling Civil Rights era legislation.
Way to go, SCOTUS. /s

I’m not a fan of this ruling. Not on the merits, but on the results.
Affirmative Action fell into the “Equity” column in that “Equality - Equity - Justice” spectrum. Remember that comic with the baseball game, a fence, and 3 kids of varying heights trying to watch?
Equality says they can all go to the fence and try to watch, and everyone gets a box to stand on, though, even with the box, the shortest kid can’t see over the fence.
Equity says that everyone gets boxes of varying heights so they can all see over the fence.
Justice advocates replacing the fence with a chain-link fence tat everyone can see through without the need for boxes in the first place.
It’s nice to pretend that we don’t need boxes, and racism is “over”, but that’s just pretending.
