Lawmakers applauded the U.S. Supreme Court's decision rejecting the use of race as a factor in college admissions, in a landmark opinion released Thursday.
"For decades, the Court turned a blind eye as higher education prioritized illegal social engineering over merit. Today’s rulings make clear that colleges may not continue discriminating against bright and ambitious students based on the color of their skin," McConnell said in a statement."Now that the Court has reaffirmed that commonsense position, students can get a fair shot at college and the American dream on their merits.
"Today the Supreme Court has ended our country’s long and failed experiment with racial quotas and government-sanctioned racial discrimination, and, in the process, restored some measure of objectivity and fairness to the college admissions process," Cruz said in a statement."This is a great day for all Americans."D-N.Y., on the other hand, slammed the Supreme Court ruling, calling it a"giant roadblock" in the country's efforts to achieve racial justice.
Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra shared similar sentiments, stating the ruling"weakens efforts" to make education more accessible"to members of historically underrepresented groups."
