Do Democrats actually care about educating minority kids?
Leftist outrage greeted the Supreme Court’s recent ruling banning affirmative action. That anger is misplaced; it should be directed at the failing inner city public schools that graduate generation after generation of Black and Brown children incapable of succeeding in college, or in life.
If every child in the United States were receiving a decent education, we would not need affirmative action.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in her dissenting opinion that the court’s decision blocking race-based admissions "creates a leadership pipeline that is less diverse than our increasingly diverse society, reserving "positions of influence, affluence and prestige in America" for a predominantly white pool of college graduates."
