Racial Justice

For John, BLUF:  The US Supreme Court came down on racial quotas in college admissions, and rightfully so.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Senator E Warren on SCOTUS on Affirmitive Action

From Twitter, by Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democraft from Massachusetts.  "Blue Check"

Here is the Tweet:

@SenWarren

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.

I accept the second sentence as written.

The Senator rails against the upsetting "of settled law".  But, what if it was wrongly settled?  Does she scorn Brown v Board of Education because it overturned decades of settled law??

I am not sure what Senator Warren's vision is for racial justice when she says the decision "rolled back the march toward racial justice".  Does she want a country where the percentsges of people in different positions, and at different levels, match the percentage of that group across the nation, down to a low margin of error?  Do we want to shoehorn people into such a representation of equality?

The Senstor writes about the Supreme Court decision:  "narrowed educational opportunity for all."  All?  It seems to have opened up opportunities for those Asian Americans who had sued Harved.  Unless Harvard is expanding its student body, it is a Zero-sum game  That is, you win, I lose.  Even Senator Warren's former colleagues from Harvard should understand that.

I believe Students for Fair Admission v Harvard♠ was properly settled and I hope to see all progress, based on their individual merit.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.

♠  And, the sister case, Students for Fair Admissioon v University of North Caroina.
