Aw, poor baby Today, the Supreme Court of the United States did a very good thing. They ruled against Ms. Abigail Fisher and her moronic lawsuit against the University of Texas, where she claimed she was not admitted because she was white. The vote was 4-3, as Justice Elena Kagan recused herself and Antonin Scalia is quite dead. The unsurprising dissenters were Roberts, Thomas and Alito.
Your kids study habits should still be encouraged when you wrap your head around how this dimwit would have won AUTOMATIC admission to UT if she had been in her school's Top 10%.
She wasn't.
That means she didn't study hard and thus was not the kind of elite student that UT was looking for. It meant she had to muck it up with all the other "second-tier" students and hope her other virtues could win her admission.
She was probably just as much of a loser in her extracurricular life as she was to file this suit rather than sucking up her failure and resolving to study harder in the future.
Abigail Fisher's lawyer has filed suit against UT again. This time he's saying her not getting into law school violates the Texas state constitution and not the federal one.
She sued once and the SC kicked it back to the lower court to look at UT's process again. The Fifth Circuit looked at it and said, "Yup, still equitable" and now the SC says, "K, just checking."
I used to be like you, and I would have said similiar nice sounding stuff. But the truth is, you and I being white DOES make our opinions less valid in this case, on account of lack of experience on this subject.Ignoring the fact there are different races of people won't make the problem go away, as long as there are racists who know very well how to play those 'egalitarian' arguments in their favour.

Try to keep up.
Not really. A tie would have reverted it back to the lower courts, which ruled against the idiot snowflake.
again, Aquaria and Wonkette: https://youtu.be/GD6qtc2_AQA
anyone else having Disqus issues?
When worked in TX, they wouldn't hire UT grads.
When I worked in AZ, they wouldn't hire UA grads.
When I worked in Michigan, they wouldn't hire UM grads.
Patterns, hmmmm

The "network" isn't as strong. Plus she's lost out on purring a UT alum bumper sticker on her minivan.

White is the new Cardassian.
I can reverse it, and it's still true. No matter how sexy he is, some woman (or man) just kicked him to the curb.
I find her not unlike a slightly, smaller-nosed Miss Piggy, only without any joie de vivre.
Dead Scalia has done more good jurisprudence this last month or so by abstaining, than throughout all the rest of his career.
