[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a NYT article about the U Texas/SCOTUS case.

Note the following statement from the U. Texas:

Gregory L. Fenves, the president of the University of Texas at Austin, said his school’s admissions program was lawful.

“Under the Supreme Court’s existing precedent, the university’s commitment to using race as one factor in an individualized, holistic admissions policy allows us to assemble a student body that brings with it the educational benefits of diversity for all students,” he said in a statement. “Our admissions policy is narrowly tailored, constitutional and has been upheld by the courts multiple times.”

This is not only an admission of racism, it's being shoved down our throats as "for our own good".

I hope SCOTUS rules in favor of Abigail Fisher.  These nasty progressive policies will bring what makes our country strong, down to mediocre levels, where hard work is frowned upon and increasing handouts are touted as beneficial.

Want to know how that worked out for other nations? See Venezuela. See Greece.[/quote]

Yes, I do think Fisher II will be ruled in favor of her. Scotus wouldn't agree to rehear the case only 2 years after hearing it for the first time unless they were dissatisfied with how the lower court/utexas proceeded.

IMO what you will see is affirmative action being barred for any public college across the country. [/quote]

Good. Minorities are plenty smart enough to get in on their own merit. Only racists feel African Americans and Hispanics don't have the brains to make it on their own.
