re: Quick tip: SC Affirmative Action Ruling means nothing

I thought libs simply ignoring SC rulings was a recent cultural thing. But last Sunday at church someone mentioned the SC outlawing prayer in schools 60 years ago. Many members of our life group class mentioned they were still praying in their schools in 1980 ( in the south). So, even conservatives were also doing it many years ago. ??

Not even close to the same thing. And, furthermore, they didn’t say “you may never pray in school.”

Till the universities get shred for the potential lifetime earnings of a student who didn’t get in, while a lesser deserving student did…and the difference is race. That’s when the practice will stop.

This, you guys need to stop with the negativity. When schools have openly stated they will defy the order and continue to be racist, it wont be too difficult to prove it in court if they continue business as usual.

And the lawsuit will be that I was deprived of an education to have a career as a hedge fund operator where I would have amassed a wealth slightly north of 2billion in net present value....thats my story and Im stickin to it.

Where the "RACE" box used to be there'll be a single question:

When eating chicken wings, which dip do you prefer?

A) Hot Sauce

B) Ranch

C) Sriracha

D) Ewww... I'm vegan.

Percentages added/deducted from scores:

A) +20
B) -10
c) -20
D) +5

Jim Crow gonna Jim Crow...

You’re a fool if you believe every school won’t go out of their way to still keep the practice. Nothing will change in this race obsessed current culture we live in.

What is does is create an avenue for lawsuits. This will eventually wear them down financially

I think what it does is opens up the school for lawsuit if it’s proven that admissions show preference for race over merit.

Meaning - white/Asian students are systemically turned away while others with the same or lesser merit are accepted.

Can they still do it? Sure. But it’s not without risk. There’s no legal safety net.

What if you like them coated in hot sauce then dipped in a side of ranch?

You're white.

Maybe not but it gives people the right to sue if they find out that it's still going on I would think. I guess they would have to prove they were harmed and as a direct result of the schools race based application process.

That's what I think too.

The best that can happen with the ruling is that it provides a legal basis for stringing up those who get caught by their buster-browns.

The other thing it does is provide at least the beginning of a legal basis for challenging the advancement of university employees on the basis of AA, which is where you will see lawsuits.

I personally know people in that situation. I know one guy who was the only professor qualified to teach a certain class or series of classes but was being paid below his classification to teach them and was told straight up that he wasn't being paid the appropriate scale because there were two other professors in his department (neither of whom was qualified to teach the classes) who were black females and the person in charge (also a black female) wasn't going to pay a white male more than she was paying the black females.

It's been a while since the details were told to me and I may have butchered them to some extent, but that's the gist of that story, the point being that sex/race discrimination happens in universities all the time. Quite out in the open.

IME it's only a matter of time before this decision becomes, "If it's unconstitutional to discriminate on the basis of sex/race for admission, it's also unconstitutional to do it when it comes to employees."

Plus, someone will be a whisteblower somewhere. Somebody is going to secretly record a meeting at Harvard or somewhere in which it is obvious that they still admit on the basis of race.

Having a spouse in academia I can tell you that those people in general think they are above the law because they are a university. Not just Harvard...all of them. They'll be stupid and not careful, because they think they don't have to be, and this ruling will end up providing the basis for the fall that follows their pride. Mark my words.

You'll have to be more specific. They didnt "outlaw" prayer at school. Anyone could pray whenever they wanted. They "outlawed" school sponsored prayer. That's a big difference.
