In the Texas case, the high court reversed a lower courts ruling in that case and remanded it with orders to apply the standard of strict scrutiny to the schools race-conscious admissions policy. That decision is pending, but the Harvard case is different because it focuses on affirmative action’s negative impact on a minority group. foxnews/us/2014/11/17/rejected-asian-students-sue-harvard-over-admissions-that-favor-other-minorities/?intcmp=latestnews Racism, (no matter what form its in), does NOT bring us closer to the concept of...
