[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of these cases will affect private schools.

I have a DD in 11th grade who is at the beggining of the process and I absolutely want schools to use "affirmative actIOn" for boys. I can't imagine a more unhealthy social dynamic than one where the girls far outnumber the boys and therefore the boys can treat the girls badly because they will still be in demand. This is an example of how affirmative action helps everyone. I feel the same way about other forms of affirmative action. I do not want my daughter going to a monolithic school.[/quote]

considering that SCOTUS is picking up another AA case just after fisher v. texas, the atmosphere seems ripe for a broader AA ruling...i.e. affecting private schools if they get federal dollars/funding...which they get hundreds of millions in the form of research and grant money. [/quote]

The new case the Supreme Court is hearing is a ridiculous one where the Sixth Circuit held that a state was not allowed to ban affirmative action via a referendum.  (I.e., that it is unconstitutional for a state to have a law requiring it to treat people of all races equally.)  It is such a bizarre result that the court's taking it doesn't say very much about where it is going in Fisher or on AA more generally.  [/quote]
