SCOTUS Refuses to Take “Race-Neutral” School Discrimination Case – Justices Alito and Thomas Blast Decision
There are a growing number of such discrimination claims around the country, as Critical Race activists demand elimination of standardized test and other academic scores even at the high school level in order to achieve “equity” of racial and ethnic groups. Overwhelming public evidence exists that the new TJ admissions process was adopted with the purpose of disadvantaging Asian-American students and reducing Asian-American enrollment at TJ. As such, these changes violate the Equal Protection Clause.
Virginia High School Admissions Changes That Severely Reduced Asian Student Enrollment Upheld By Appeals Court, here is also another method that entities bent on the improper use of race can use to racially discriminate; namely, the use of some sort of supposedly “race-neutral” means or scheme to enact the same sort of racially discriminatory school admissions that we saw at Harvard….

“Asian-American students, many of whom are immigrants or the children of immigrants, have often seen admission to TJ as a ticket to the American dream,” Alito wrote in his dissent.
