Can private K-12 consider race in admissions after the Supreme Court ruling?

[Anonymous]

I’m not sure the ruling applied to k-12 schools or just to post secondary institutions

Huh? Ignorant. Are you ok with sexism? Admission based upon Gender is ok. Legacy admission? Let’s look at legacy admissions. RACIST… blacks and browns have historically prevented from generational wealth that allowed attendance of the parents, grandparents and great-grandparents of legacies.

Where’s our 40 acres and a mule for building this country?

How do you feel about legacy admission preferences for the children of black and brown Harvard alums?

I’m fine with it all actually. Just don’t clutch your pearls for one preference and not the other. It reeks of racism.

When preferences have different bases and different rationales, it is perfectly rationale to “clutch your pearls” about one preference but not another. The rationale for your own rant is muddy - in contrast to your post saying legacy admission is racist, now you are actually fine with legacy admission for some.

This is America. Very few things in America lack a racist tilt. Legacy admission. Home ownership. Education. Employment. Social organizations. There is little to nothing in America that indigenous black people have not been wrongfully excluded from or sidelined.

I’m ok with ensuring that women are fairly represented. I’m ok with diversity and all places and spaces reflecting all of us.

I’m ok with legacy admission because someone has to ensure that the money continues to flow in.

Just like those who think that doing away with AA is their ticket to HYP, the top 50, whatever else their privileged selves have failed to gain entry to, doing away with legacy admissions is still not going to get your precious Johnny or Susan in. I can’t wait for you all to find that out! Lol

DP. I am totally in favor of removing both AA and legacy. I think one real downside to AA is that when a URM has great credentials is accepted into a good school, everyone else thinks that they only got there on the basis of race.

A lot of elite K-12 private schools partner with non-profits like Black Student Fund, Latino Student Fund, Emerging Scholars, etc.

Even if a court were to hypothetically bar them from using race in the process, I doubt their diversity is hurt that much because they have "feeder programs" to diversify their schools to begin with.

No. A loan is not a grant. Keep up.

The “federal funding” is the tax exempt status. That’s what makes Title VI applicable. So yes, private schools will potentially be subject to it since they are tax exempt.

Incorrect. You’re obviously not a lawyer. Churches are tax exempt and definitely don’t have to follow non-discrimination laws.

The whole point of privates taking these kids is bc colleges want them and it boosts the privates matriculation stats. If colleges stop recruiting them privates will too. Same for legacies and URM.

Sure - according to the Supreme Court ruling, just have your pre-K write an essay dropping hints about his/her race and describing how he/she overcame discrimination or something like that. It's a wink-wink way to get the same results while technically complying with the Constitutional prohibition on race-based discrimination.
