Now let’s ban it throughout American society.
So it begins. The colleges will do everything in their power to give racial preferences clandestinely. But this is the first step. Lawsuits will have to reinforce the decision and some will be handled by SCOTUS as the only way to force compliance. https://t.co/BtNZr6wic6

Trump’s SCOTUS just keeps paying off.
True. This decision will kick off a massive reaction in the colleges to call affirmative action something else.

Next let’s see them ban government coercion for affirmative action in corporations.
But, Diversity is our strength!
I know because my employer keeps saying that.
The control that these corporations have over their managerial personnel is creepy. A very humorless and usually honest engineering manager was forced to say that there was a study that proved scientifically that diversity increased productivity. That must have been humiliating for him. But he did it. Gotta pay the rent.
I think that diversity can increase productivity – Diversity of thought and diversity of experience. If I have a team with a linear thinker, I know he’ll (probably) get an answer – eventually. But if I pair him up with a person who has a completely different way of looking at things, I may get a better answer – faster! If everyone trying to solve my problem approaches it from a synthetic chemistry background, we will miss an engineering solution. (Actually lived this one. The Chem E thought we were all blind.) But if I’m just putting together a team… Read more »
Oh, I agree. Complementary skill sets are a great way to build teams. My experience in personnel selection based on melanin density is one of disastrous consequences. One particular case was so comically mismatched that it is still a byword for ridiculous mismanagement amongst my peers.
