[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The federal district judge seemingly faithfully applied extant S.Ct. law.  Ultimately, the S.Ct. May have to weigh in on whether “strict scrutiny” has, in effect, been treated like “rational basis” review in  this context.  But opponents of affirmative action need to recognize that by the time a case gets to the Court there will be a 5-4 Dem majority.  [/quote]
Why do you assume a liberal majority? RBG will not last another five years, sorry - and Trump will be appointing another conservative.

Very few Republican politicians care about this issue anymore. In fact, very few white people care about it.  The only ones who do are those whose ox was, in effect, gored.  And by that I mean the parents of the marginal kid who was rejected by, say, UVA, and lash out in embarrassment and anger.[/quote]
Except it's not necessarily the marginal kid, but you'll keep telling yourself that. It's the kid with the 3.6 who didn't get in, whereas black kids are getting in with a 3.2.

It's happening, but the only way the posters defending the racist AA policies is to convince themselves it's only impacting the marginal kids. Very good white students are being rejected because these schools are allocating space for more black kids, and that means lowering the standards for them. The white kid with excellent grades is SOL.[/quote]
