USA: The end of affirmative action based on race in college admissions

Joe Biden considers the US Supreme Court’s decision to be wrong, which ends university admissions procedures that use positive discrimination based on race.

According to the president, this threatens to limit minority access to higher education.

Biden fears the end of social equality.

“While talent, creativity and hard work are everywhere in this country, equal opportunity is not everywhere. We cannot let this decision be the last word. We cannot leave it at that.” – confirmed the chairman.

The court’s decision has already sparked protests and threatens to further divide the country after tightening the abortion law last year.

Portland woman worry that Because of this, America will go backwards, and limit opportunities for people of color. The development that has taken place in recent decades has stopped. So, I’m worried.”

However, the founding president of Students for Equitable Admissions believes so “Eliminating racial preferences in college admissions is an achievement that the vast majority of Americans will celebrate. No university has true diversity if it brings together students who not only look different, but have similar backgrounds and ideas.” he argued.

Kamala Harris, the first black female vice president of the United States, called the court’s decision “a denial of opportunity in many ways.”

The Supreme Court’s ruling by six conservative justices against three progressive justices was based on the alleged unconstitutionality of the quota system, impeding the principle of equality for all citizens of the United States.

According to former President Donald Trump, “This is an important day for America” that “the system is entirely meritocratic” again.

Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy also praised the Supreme Court’s decision to allow students to compete “on the basis of equal standards and individual merit,” and added, “which makes the college admissions process fairer.”
