In the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling ending race-based college admissions on Thursday, Republicans championed the decision decided by the court’s 6-3 conservative majority as Democrats lamented the end of the decades-long precedent.
, former First Lady Michelle Obama detailed her own academic journey as “one of the few Black students” at Princeton University in the 1980s, when she wondered “if people thought I got there because of affirmative action.”
“So often, we just accept that money, power, and privilege are perfectly justifiable forms of affirmative action, while kids growing up like I did are expected to compete when the ground is anything but level,” she continued. "I believe our colleges are stronger when they're racially diverse," Biden said. "We cannot let this decision be the last word. We cannot change what America stands for."
“Picking winners and losers based on race is fundamentally wrong,” said Nikki Haley, the former U.N. Ambassador and governor of South Carolina, in a statement. Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and conservative firebrand vying for the GOP nomination, went even further, describing affirmative action as “one of the worst failed experiments in American history” and warned universities may adopt “shadow” racial quotas “that benefit perceived ‘marginalized’ groups.”
