Sept 22 (Reuters) - A non-profit group opposing race-based education policies has filed more than a dozen U.S. civil rights complaints this year against universities, challenging the legality of offering minority scholarships, summer study and residency programs to promote racial diversity.
The challenges are part of a growing campaign against diversity initiatives after a U.S. Supreme Court landmark ruling in June outlawed use of race in college admissions, commonly known as affirmative action. Conservative activists say the decision should extend to all educational programs, and some groups have also challenged corporate diversity policies.
That’s a lot of words to say “racists”.
Like, I know they don’t teach the Civil War and Reconstruction with any nuance in the South and most rural counties, but damn. And I say this as someone who grew up in North Carolina. It took me an embarrassingly long time (early 20s) to understand why AA was important. But it’s 2023 now; it’s a lot easier to get that info.
