Wow just saw the news out from SCOTUS.
🇳🇱
@jerry Getting rid of affirmitive action was a good thing. If we want any policy it should be one where admissions are equal and fair to everyone based on merits and not race.
That isnt to say there isnt a racism issue, there is... affirmitive action was just always the wrong way to address it and needed to die for a long time now.
@freemo @jerry it’s simple to acknowledge when something isn’t working. Especially when you are not in the target demographic of the people in involved. It’s much harder however to provide a solution. Affirmative action was a way to keep these institutions accountable. The only other option that would make sense is to explore, broaden or reconstruct the application process and work towards making “higher quality education” more affordable and something that is accessible to all, not just rich young white men.
I really don’t understand this mentality of, “this isn’t working, let’s rip it all down”.
Considering i am a person of native american decent who comes from a si gke parent in poverty i am exactly the target audience. In fact i benefit far more than most minorities.
And while it clearly isnt working, more importantly it is unjust and immoral approach that passes on the wrong sort of values.
