Liberals in the United States had a collective meltdown Thursday after the Supreme Court rejected Affirmative Action at colleges and universities across the country.
An extremist Supreme Court has once again reversed decades of settled law, rolled back the march toward racial justice, and narrowed educational opportunity for all. I won't stop fighting for young people with big dreams who deserve an equal chance to pursue their future.

Yet sadly, today's Supreme Court ruling narrows access to higher education & the crucial ladder of opportunity that it provides.
Its impact will be felt imminently, diminishing hard-fought progress for racial justice.
If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.

70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn’t touch that – which would have impacted them and their patrons.
For decades, the Supreme Court recognized a college’s freedom to decide how to build a diverse student body and provide opportunity.

Today, the Court walked away from precedent, effectively ending affirmative action in higher education.
I strongly disagree with this decision.
This is a developing story…
