Let me get this straight. SCOTUS says
colleges can't take race into
consideration during admission....
But they can give preference to
"legacies."
Since non-white students were barred
from most colleges for 200+ years,
legacy students are by definition most
likely white.

The Supreme Court's ruling against
affirmative action pretends to make
college admissions "race-blind," while
preserving systems built to specifically
advance white students (and the
wealthy) over all others.

The conservative majority's decision to
ignore the role that race plays in our
nation, and how it shapes our institutions
and who is allowed to participate in them,
is a major setback to decades of progress.
We can't create a more just, inclusive, and
equal education system (and society)
without reckoning with the reality of our
nation's past.
