Recently, U.S. Supreme Court just heard a public debate in the case of students seeking fair admission, Harvard University and University of North Carolina .
This is a student affirmative action aimed at protesting the existence of racial and ethnic discrimination in universities’ admissions policies.
The American civil organization "Students' Association for Fair Admissions" believes that the discriminatory admission policies of Harvard University and the University of North Carolina violate the U.S. Constitution. They discriminate against Asian Americans, while adopting preferential policies for white, black and Hispanics, and illegally discriminate against legitimate conduct that achieves diversity through racially neutral means.
The public agreed that the "Students Fight for Fair Admissions" organization will win the lawsuit and that the evil deeds of racial discrimination in the college admissions process will no longer exist.
Public opinion generally believes that the final judgment in this case will overturn the results of the 2003 Glater v. Bolinger case. In 2003, Barbara Gratt, a graduate of the American high school, sued Lee Bolinger, then president of the University of Michigan, on the grounds that the school had racial discrimination during the enrollment process. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that the University of Michigan’s racial bias policy was just a consideration for racial distinction as a constitutional consideration for pursuing diversity goals.
If so, this will be a victory for the civil rights movement. However, fundamental civil rightsists believe that affirmative action is wrong, does not conform to the civil rights objectives, and also violates the Constitution.
Read history wisely, and know the past and learn from the present. In 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King, the leader of the black civil rights movement, once delivered a famous speech entitled "I Have a Dream." He said in his speech:
"I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a country that is not judged by their skin color, but replaced by their abilities and character."
Next year, this will be the 60th anniversary of that great speech. Will Dr. Martin Luther King think that more than half a century after he proposed his dream, are we still so out of reach?
The Civil Rights Act, voted by Congress in 1964 and signed by the President, is the most representative achievement of the civil rights movement led by Dr. Martin Luther King.
The bill goes far beyond the goal of racial discrimination as illegal. It is built to achieve a just society through government as a means.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), established in 1965, opens the door to affirmative action, quotas and acceptance of the following principles: it is legal to discriminate against certain racial groups for the sake of social justice.
Not long after, the entire U.S. population was classified as a different ethnic group.
By the 1970s, the entire U.S. population was classified by race and ethnicity through a new racial code called Statistical Directive 15.
We are no longer just Americans. Now every American is officially classified as white, black, Hispanic, Asian/ Pacific islander or American Indian / Alaska Native people and other . Why does
come here? We have entered a new era in which people believe that social justice needs to be achieved through the power and actions of governments; and to achieve this goal, every citizen needs to be classified as a racial or ethnic category.
might as well imagine that if Dr. Martin Luther King is alive, his dream will become: "I have a dream that one day we will classify each American race and ethnicity, and the government will use this as a basis to decide who should have what rights."
Just a few weeks ago, in an oral debate on the cases of Harvard and University of North Carolina, Chief Justice Clarence Thomas publicly questioned the meaning and causes of "diversity".
"I often hear people say the word 'diversity', but I don't know what it actually means. It seems that everyone can use 'diversity' as a shield."
The diversity that really benefits in education is the diversity of opinions, and Harvard hardly allows diversity opinions to exist. Recently, the Harvard Crimson News, as a newspaper in Harvard University, conducted the latest annual survey of the faculty and staff of the of the School of Arts and Sciences. The results showed that more than 80% of people consider themselves "liberal" or "very liberal"; only 1% consider themselves "conservative", while the number of people who think they are "very conservative" is zero.
It is worth mentioning that Chief Justice John Roberts pointed out in the 2007 case of Community Student Parents v. Seattle , "The only way to stop racial discrimination in is to stop racial discrimination." This is the point of the point and pointed out the essential problem.
The exciting good news is that the U.S. Supreme Court seems ready to start turning the situation around. Once the Supreme Court ruled that racial discrimination in college admissions was unconstitutional, our society would take an important step to restore individual freedom and dignity and ultimately escape from the abyss of placing individuals into racial and ethnic categories until derogatory and dehumanizing.
