Affirmative action being discussed this morning on C-SPAN Washington Journal. The Supreme Court recently ruled that 400 years of slavery, discrimination, and persecution do not matter and do not require compensation. #cspanwj #politics #racism #scotus #affirmativeaction
But SCOTUS didn't outlaw race as an admission criterion. The legislators that we elected did that.
It's crucial to make this point because we can change things if we want. We need to stop electing and reelecting the legislators who wrote these laws if we want the laws to change.
We should not let those legislators point fingers at the Supreme Court for the laws they themselves are responsible for. We can change things as long as we hold them accountable.
