[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does the majority think it's OK for the military service academies to still use race in admissions?

Justice Jackson knows why:

[quote][b]The Court has come to rest on the bottom-line conclusion that racial diversity in higher education is only worth potentially preserving insofar as it might be needed to prepare Black Americans and other underrepresented minorities for success in the bunker, not the boardroom[/b] (a particularly awkward place to land, in light of the history the majority
opts to ignore). It would be deeply unfortunate if the Equal Protection Clause actually demanded this perverse,
ahistorical, and counterproductive outcome. To impose this result in that Clause’s name when it requires no such thing,
and to thereby obstruct our collective progress toward the full realization of the Clause’s promise, is truly a tragedy
for us all. [/quote][/quote]

She’s right![/quote]

Who did she consult for her opinion?[/quote]

History, facts, you know things that matter.[/quote]
