The conservative-dominated Supreme Court could put an end to the practice of factoring race into college admissions, after agreeing to take up a pair of court challenges claiming affirmative action is unfair to white and Asian American students on Monday.The high court said it will take up lawsuits claiming that Harvard University, a private institution, and the University of North Carolina, a state school, discriminate against Asian American applicants.The suits claim that affirmative action gives an edge to African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans over Asian students.

All references to an applicants race should be removed from applications. The applicant should be admitted on their merits (all judged equally), not skin color. If that means that 50% of the freshman class is Asian, then maybe the other people need to study a little harder. I would also love to see legacy admissions removed. Just because your parents went there doesn't mean their kids should. Also get rid of admitting kids of the rich and famous because of who their parents are. I find it hard to believe that almost all children of US Presidents and actors have kids who are smart enough to get into Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, yet somehow many manage to do so.

Imagine laying on a gurney in a trauma hospital, your life oozing from your injuries. Up walks the emergency doctor. What's the only important characteristic concerning you as your very life hanging in the balance. I know I will ask if the doctor had a diverse medical class with plenty of lesbians, homosexuals, transgenders, blacks, Mexicans, atheists, Muzzies and Chinese. And hopefully no white males! Lord knows one doesn't care about competence as diversity is what makes a doctor great.

Asians work hard & are family oriented so are the new Jews to the Ivy League. So 5-4 or 6-3 for SCOTUS to B-slap Ivy.

I think admission should be based on their height. "Your admission has been declined because.....you're too short!

Harvard has forever destroyed their own reputation as a first class school where only the best and brightest are welcome. That is punishment enough. Let them continue to run under the delusion that educating ten low IQ students is better than making a smart one smarter. They will no longer be able to charge those outrageous prices for Climate Change classes. Removing the race checkbox from the application form fools nobody if the name is Demetrius or DeShawn, unless it's a previous Harvard grad reading the form.

Ha! How about if each applicant is given a number. The applicant names are each replaced with a unique number. The reviewers will not be able to judge the applicants by the names. I worked with a black lady. Her sons do not have ethnic names. She doesn't want them to be judged by their name on a job application etc.

Even if the SC rules against the college they and others will continue to discriminate.

I suspect that the allure of an Ivy League diploma has faded. I recall when I was impressed, many years ago, before I figured out that their students might be “strange” but not necessarily “smart”, talented or otherwise extraordinary. Before long, Harvard and etc. will be advertising to Asian students.

Meanwhile, over on the West Coast there's UCLA: the "University of Caucasians Lost among Asians." 40% Asian undergrads in Westwood, while down the coast at UCSD - 50% (compared to 23% white). Works for me. They've earned it, based on what I see of the grads that I work with. As for the Supreme Court, O'Connor opined in 2003: “We expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary.” In other words, it wasn't time yet and - per her timetable - we're still not there.

ALL "affirmative action" is systemic racism. There should be no info on race in any college applications.

Joe Biden’s kindly uncle routine has

For 50 years, Joe Biden cultivated an illusory image of being a kindly — if dimwitted — uncle: someone whose terrible politics and inappropriate malapropisms were tolerated because he said he meant well. What a farce. Uncle Joe — now firmly in grandfather territory — was never that guy. Long a fantasist who recounts fake stories years after they’ve been debunked, Biden was always a hit-and-run liar. He was also always a hack and a jerk, with an anger that betrays the arrogance of a corrupt elite. This week, he called Fox News reporter Peter Doocy

President Joe Biden said there would be enormous impacts in Europe should Russia invade Ukraine – and said such a move would bring 'severe consequences' for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Biden made the sweeping statements at a Capitol Hill gift shop, as he began to make good on a pledge to get out into the country more, although in this case just minutes from the White House. He issued stark pronouncements bout the global stakes after examining gifts for family, speaking to the national media in front of a tote bag featuring a blue whale.

Michael Rapaport filmed the moment a brazen thief sauntered out of a Rite Aid in the Upper East side of New York City with two shopping bags full of stolen goods, calling it 'pathetic' that brazen crime continues to spiral in the Big Apple because of soft-on-crime policies.The actor and comedian, who posted footage of the incident on Instagram, told DailyMail.com that he was ‘disgusted’ and ‘surprised’ when he saw the thief stocking up on items from three different sections of the pharmacy before deciding he was satisfied.

NEW YORK— The stock market is losing crucial support from the Federal Reserve. Omicron is causing havoc at businesses around the world. And Russia just might be preparing to invade Ukraine, creating more uncertainty and raising the prospect of even higher oil prices. No wonder investors are freaking out — and selling stocks.

A Harvard Law professor compared the January 6 Committee to a tactic used in the 1950s to oust accused communists who had no actual ties to the party. Legal scholar Alan Dershowitz said the panel is not a valid congressional body and it’s actually in violation of legislative rules “It reminds me a little bit of McCarthyism, where you had committees like the House Un-American Activities Committee, which didn’t have an appropriate legislative purpose,” he explained. “They were just trying to subpoena people for political and ideological purposes.”In a recent interview with Breitbart, Dershowitz said the panel is being used by Democrats to target political opponents similar to

Fox News reporter Bill Melugin caught Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration allegedly releasing a large group of single adult illegal aliens into the United States in Texas.“Fox witnessed men go into a small, unmarked office, then re-emerge moments later as multiple taxi cabs then showed up to collect the migrants — who were then shuttled off to nearby Harlingen Airport. There were no children or migrant families among the groups,” Fox News reported. “Several of the migrants told Fox that they had crossed illegally that morning, paying approximately $2,000 per person to cartel smugglers. They also said they were flying to destinations including Miami, Houston and Atlanta.”

As Vladimir Putin has deployed 100,000 Russian forces to the Ukraine border and continues to stoke fears he will invade, the U.S. may have to ready its troops and its cache of arms situated throughout Europe, including 40 warships, 175 aircraft and 90 tanks.

People who harass or bully others do so in order to validate to themselves that they are somebody. They learned this behavior from role models in their environment. Most often, they were harassed or bullied during their childhood or adolescence and they act out their hurt and frustration by treating others the way they were treated. It is a defence mechanism. “I will put you in your place and show my power over you, before you do the same to me,” is the unconscious thought process behind bullying. By doing this, the bully, in fact, feels safe.

One of the points I’ve been making over the years of political writing is that leftism has driven young white women crazy. (snip) A recent video, however, indicates that it’s not just young women whom leftism has driven insane. The video seems to show two older women, upon finding an unmasked young Black man on an elevator, wildly attacking him as they try desperately to get him and his unmasked self off the elevator. (snip) One of the women then hit him and, when he called her on it, she began chanting “Black lives matter,” while her companion continued to insist that he leave the elevator.
