Stephen A. Smith recently appeared on “Fox News Tonight” to discuss the recent US Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action in colleges. He expressed his opinion that removing race as a criterion for college admissions may not have been entirely fair.
Affirmative Action Policy
The Supreme Court’s ruling on June 29th effectively ended the practice of affirmative action in college admissions. This policy was intended to address historical injustices and inequalities faced by minority communities by using race as a criterion to promote diversity in universities.
Systematic Inequalities
While the initial intention of affirmative action was to rectify past injustices, it has been argued that it has inadvertently perpetuated systematic inequalities. Critics believe that race-based criteria may not be the most effective means of promoting diversity and addressing disparities in educational opportunities.
