Supreme Court Strikes Down University Affirmative Action Programs
The United States Supreme Court ruled on June 29 that considering race in college and university admissions violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. Since 1978, the court has allowed institutions of higher learning to use racial quotas for student admissions. This policy has been criticized for making it easier for blacks and Hispanics to get into school than it is for whites and Asians.
The court’s decision was hailed by conservatives, who say the Constitution should be “colorblind,” but condemned by liberals, who say affirmative action is necessary to combat historic racial discrimination.
Racial quotas: Barack and Michelle Obama are prominent critics of the court’s decision. Barack Obama tweeted that affirmative action gave “generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions … the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.”
Michelle Obama tweeted that “my heart breaks for any young person out there who’s wondering what their future holds—and what kinds of chances will be open to them.” Both politicians want American universities to accept blacks and Hispanics whether or not they score as well on admission tests as whites.

Race-baiting: Data from the National Study of College Experience shows that whites need to score 310 points higher on their sats than blacks to get into college. So it is not black Americans who are discriminated against by university admissions boards.
The Obamas want black Americans to feel like the Supreme Court is out to get them because this belief motivates blacks to vote for Democratic politicians. Such radical politicians engage in race-baiting to get votes, yet numerous biblical prophecies (Deuteronomy 28:43; Isaiah 1:7; Ezekiel 5:12) indicate this strategy will get out of hand and cause violence.
