Sept 22 (Reuters) - A non-profit group opposing race-based education policies has filed more than a dozen U.S. civil rights complaints this year against universities, challenging the legality of offering minority scholarships, summer study and residency programs to promote racial diversity.
The challenges are part of a growing campaign against diversity initiatives after a U.S. Supreme Court landmark ruling in June outlawed use of race in college admissions, commonly known as affirmative action. Conservative activists say the decision should extend to all educational programs, and some groups have also challenged corporate diversity policies.
Asshats like these may sing a different tune when lawsuits targeting legacy scholarships and the like start popping up.
Lol these asshats didn’t go to college…
Affirmative action helps certain races and hurts certain races. It makes it harder for Asian kids to get into good schools simply because of their race. It’s racist to think that every Asian kid had a good upbringing and rich parents. Affirmative action is (well-intentioned) racism that will not fix systemic racism and it alienates people that probably encountered certain degrees of racism and hardship themself.
Looking at metrics like net worth would be a much more intelligent path forward. Rich kids don’t need help getting into school, poor kids do. It doesn’t matter if those poor kids are Asian, black, white, or whatever. Look at money, not skin color. It’s not that hard to treat people equally regardless of their skin color.
I assume they’ll go after the United Negro College Fund next.
Gutter trash
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sept 22 (Reuters) - A non-profit group opposing race-based education policies has filed more than a dozen U.S. civil rights complaints this year against universities, challenging the legality of offering minority scholarships, summer study and residency programs to promote racial diversity.
The challenges are part of a growing campaign against diversity initiatives after a U.S. Supreme Court landmark ruling in June outlawed use of race in college admissions, commonly known as affirmative action.
The Equal Protection Project of the Legal Insurrection Foundation, headed by Cornell University clinical law professor William Jacobson, filed the complaints with the U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights office.
Advocates say race-conscious programs are necessary to combat institutional and societal disadvantages facing minority students, particularly in light of the Supreme Court’s decision.
The state’s Republican attorney general sent a letter instructing all colleges in Missouri, including private schools, to adopt race-blind standards for admissions, scholarships, employment and other programs.
In July, the office confirmed it had opened an investigation into whether Harvard discriminates against minorities by favoring “legacy” applicants with ties to donors or alumni, following a complaint filed by civil rights groups.

I’m amazed at how I’ve never actually heard from one of these advocates. I get all the arguments for these programs. I’m just surprised I’ve seen journalists, benzo psychologist, tons of cage fighters all giving me reasons to oppose this stuff. Its shocking the only time I’ve heard people support it is either comments online or what I learned in a sociology class decades ago.
Why have we not seen a sociologist or really any other advocate with experience doing these circuits like podcasts or other media that educate on these things.
they do. It is just that they dont create outrage and clickbait shit for morons and thus dont get pushed on youtube, instagram and tiktok.
The way social media works currently is to push idiotic voices for nasses of idiots than sound reasoning to sound people. Also having a sociologist weighing pro and cons, looking into detailes and nuances and forming a qualified opinion takes much longer and much more brain energy to follow, than some jacked up guy yelling into the camera how the liberals want to turn all white men into black gay trans furries or something.
There should be a jacked up guy in a blazer screaming that socioeconomic barriers shouldn’t be divided along race but somehow it is and how this relates to a proper meritocratic society
“challenging the legality of offering minority scholarships, summer study and residency programs to promote racial diversity.”
Why would a person even do such a thing? That’s terrible
They’re so racist.
If you want a race-free world, you first start by stop favoring one race over another.
Which is exactly what Affirmative Action did
AA did the exact opposite.
It made race a deciding factor for a whole lot of college admission choices or job offers and such.
It put race at the head of a decision that should be otherwise be decided by merit. When you decide things by merit, you end up favoring one race over another. These decisions should be race-blind. Pick the best damn candidate.
When Obama was first elected, we had some talking about a post-race world. Great! So why the hell should we continue to discriminate against certain groups simply because of the color of their skin.
