In Reference To The Recent Supreme Court Case: Students For Fair Admissions (SFAA) v. UNC & Harvard
… In Reference To The Recent Supreme Court Case & Decision: Students For Fair Admissions (SFAA) v. UNC & Harvard …
… While The 6-3 Majority May Have Decided The ‘Students for Fair Admissions v UNC & Harvard College’ Case Correctly … ‘Based on the Most Strict & Narrow’ Reading of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution …
… The Lawyers for SFAA During the Harvard Portion Of The Case Stated That …
“… If Harvard Stops Using A VOLUNTARY Check of a Box on the Demographics Portion of the Admissions Application to Harvard … According to Our Mathematical Simulation (D?) …
… Harvard will Go From %14 African American Students Admitted To Harvard TO %10 Black Students Admitted To Harvard …”
… While That May Be An ‘Acceptable Rate of Attrition’ to the SFAA Lawyers …
… As A Higher Ed Faculty Member for Over Twenty Years … Who Has Worked With College Admissions Personnel …
… It BREAKS My Heart To Know That The U.S. Supreme Court Can Just Blithely Cut Off %4 OF My Students … My Children … And the Future Opportunities That A Harvard, UNC, Et Al. Degree May Afford Them …
… And Chief Justice Roberts as well as The Five Other Associate Justices In The Majority … With Whom I May Typically Agree …
… Can In This Instance …
… Blithly Cut Off %4 Of My ‘Black Children’ Every Year & Say …
“… OK Boys & Girls … GOOD DAYS WORK! … We have Fixed Via Blithe Elimination … ALL Affirmative Action … & … Thereby ALL Traces of GENERATIONAL Racial Discrimination That Has Occured in This Society for 350 Years (from 1619 – 1968, Fair Housing Act) on a Federal Level … Have Been Eradicated LETS GO HOME! …”
… While The SFAA v UNC & Harvard Decision May Have Been The Correct … ‘Strict Originalist’ … Interpretation of the 14th Amendment To The United States Constitution …
… It Was Concurrently A Blithe Piece of Surgery Without Anesthesia … Applied Specifically to Black Students …
… Who COULD Receive A Small Numerical +Up Advantage Relative to Admission To Harvard or UNC et al. … IF All Other Things In That Evaluation Process Are Equal …
… Thus The Decision May Have Been Correct … Under A ‘Strict Origionalist’ … Interpretation of the 14th Amendment …
… However It Blithely Hurts Black Kids With Hopes & Dreams …
… By Not Accounting For The ‘Original’ Rational for the 1868 Post Civil War & Slavery Implementation of the 14th Amendment To The U.S. Constitution …
… While Correct … Also Heartrending …
