How black graduates responded to a key Supreme Court case

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is taking heat for comments he made from the bench that some are calling racist.

In response to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s controversial comments during recent arguments in the Fisher v. University of Texas case, many are responding in support of the school’s initial decision.

Scalia said, “There are some who contend it does not benefit African Americans to get them into the University of Texas, where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less advanced school, a slower-track school, where they do well”.

Of course, this drew out criticism from the NAACP and Democrat leadership that Scalia’s racial comments mean that he is pushing for blacks to be admitted to lesser schools than UT Austin, based exclusively on their race. Maybe it ought to have fewer.

Students and the administrator alike all saying where someone goes to school, and whether of not they succeed is up to the individual. “I have just unbelievable relationships, and so many positive things have happened”, Trump said.

To his credit, Gregory G. Garre, one of the attorneys representing the University of Texas, immediately challenged the core of Scalia’s argument.

In other words, it is better to graduate with an A average from a lesser university than a C average from a swanky college.

“If the mounting empirical evidence is correct-as we believe it is-the nation now has fewer African-American physicians, scientists, and engineers than it would have had using race-neutral methods”, the brief says.

“I was outraged, I knew that it was definitely unfair”. Associate Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself has said that only an “ostrich” would think that the Texas Ten Percent Plan is race-neutral. “This finding holds for all groups of students examined, including underrepresented minorities and students with weaker academic preparation”.

Mr Oren Sellstrom, one of the lawyers on a brief attacking the mismatch theory, called the theory paternalistic.

“We reject the premise that the presence of minority students and the existence of diversity need to be justified, but meanwhile segregation in physics is tacitly accepted as normal or good”, the scientists wrote.

Most students at the university gain admission through a scheme that automatically admits Texans who graduate in the top 10% of their high school class.
