The Constitution is written for “individuals”... without specificity of race, etc. This is crystal clear. Creating “diversity” (e.g. - simply based on skin color or race or created identities) through gov mandates, etc., simply creates inequality and is unconstitutional. This should never have been allowed, ever. My question is how long until DEI/ESG are similarly eradicated based on it’s own racist ideologies. The number of friends, including myself, who have had to sit through DEI “trainings” is vast. The effort to propagandize and destroy the workplace is WELL underway.
The next logical question, is how will this affect hiring practices, or promotion & advancement? Especially in government institutions. But also corporate America too. The leftist are far from "color blind" and actually are the real racist, in many of life's aspects. Without their separate group ideologies, how can they continue to pander to various groups for support?
In these times I never thought we’d see a decision that supports equal opportunity over equal outcomes. Absolutely stunning! The fact that this is stunning shows how far we had fallen to date. Let’s stay on this course. Someone please hold the rudder firm.
Many colleges, including Harvard, have already junked SAT and ACT scores as criteria for admissions. These crafty "outcome equality" warriors are already searching for other ways to implement DEI in admissions you can be sure.
Fascinating but not surprising that the minority feels obligated to fight racism with more racism. It’s ok for the Left to allow racial profiling for college but not for cops.
"“One of the principal reasons race is treated as a forbidden classification is that it demeans the dignity and worth of a person to be judged by ancestry instead of by his or her own merit and essential qualities.”
“Many universities have for too long wrongly concluded that the touchstone of an individual’s identity is not challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned, but the color of their skin. This Nation’s constitutional history does not tolerate that choice.”
“We have time and again forcefully rejected the notion that government actors may intentionally allocate preference to those “who may have little in common with one another but the color of their skin.” Shaw, 509 U. S., at 647. The entire point of the Equal Protection Clause is that treating someone differently because of their skin color is not like treating them differently because they are from a city or from a suburb, or because they play the violin poorly or well."
“…the Harvard and UNC admissions programs cannot be reconciled with the guarantees of the Equal Protection Clause. Both programs lack sufficiently focused and measurable objectives warranting the use of race, unavoidably employ race in a negative manner, involve racial stereotyping, and lack meaningful end points. We have never permitted admissions programs to work in that way, and we will not do so today. “
But hey - they'll still make sure as many LGBTQ people are guarding our nukes as possible-
Would that they would've made this ruling decades ago, and we'd have been spared both the 0bamas, the poster children for what happens when AA consumes even law schools, and neither of whom would have been accepted and given JDs without the duress of Affirmative Action *scholarship*. Ditto Kamala Harris.
Wow! What a great decision. Finally, we have something to cheer about, at least for a little while. Thank You Very Much, Technofog for sharing with us all.

Well it's about damn time...
Here are some of the highlights:

This is best thing to happen since Roe was (correctly) overturned.
Affirmative action should never have been allowed to start with.
From Bakke to Fisher. Finally. As the vegetable-in-chief once said, “this is a big f*cking deal”.
Hallelujah, thank you for the succinct wrap up.
Finally, ration instead of ‘passion’.
This country has always been based on effort and hard work.
". . . we can be sure many universities will used some sore of pretext as a substitute for race-based admissions." Yes, they will.
Would that they would've made this ruling decades ago, and we'd have been spared both the 0bamas, the poster children for what happens when AA consumes even law schools, and neither of whom would have been accepted and given JDs without the duress of Affirmative Action *scholarship*.

THANK GOD!!! Finally!!!
