Led by Chief Justice John Roberts, the conservative justices formed a strong majority. The dissenting voices, Justice Sonya Sotomayor, Justices Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, clearly failed to understand the importance of equal treatment under the law. They continue to cling to a flawed ideology that promotes identity politics over merit.
SCOTUS holds that race-based college admissions policy violates equal protection.

Chief Justice Roberts, in his majority opinion, emphasized that while race-based admissions had been allowed in limited circumstances, it was high time to put an end to this practice. The admissions programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina, however well-intentioned, failed to meet the necessary criteria. It’s about time these universities are held accountable for their discriminatory practices.
The Supreme Court’s decision builds upon a long-standing commitment to racial equality. Since the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, the court has been steadfast in its dedication to dismantling discriminatory laws and practices. Now, they are upholding the Constitution’s pledge of racial equality once again.
Conservatives applaud the court’s ruling, which affirms that universities cannot use race as a defining factor in college admissions. Each individual should be evaluated based on their merits, abilities, and character, not the color of their skin. This decision strikes a blow to affirmative action policies that only serve to perpetuate racial divisions and undermine true equality.
It is worth noting that the majority opinion makes it clear that universities can still consider an applicant’s personal experiences with race. The court recognizes the significance of race in shaping an individual’s life. However, using race as a determining factor for admission is a line that should not be crossed.
Overall, the Supreme Court’s rejection of race-based college admissions marks a significant step toward a fairer and more inclusive society. It is a victory for those who believe in equal opportunity and merit-based admissions. Conservatives can rest assured that this decision brings us one step closer to a color-blind society where individuals are judged on their character and achievements, not on their skin color.
