2023 ruling against racial preferences is becoming a landmark
ruling carrying immense consequences for many people.
On June 18 the infamously left-wing Wisconsin Supreme Court
ruled unanimously (!) that a state program that issued scholarships
based on race violates the U.S. Constitution, and the lefties are
climbing the walls and crossing the ceilings all over the country.
I saw in the Wall Street Journal (weekend 6/20-6/21) opinion section
that Justice Annette Ziegler wrote the majority opinion for the court
that the Constitution requires "that every person 'must be treated
based on his or her experiences as an individual --- not on the basis
of race,'" and that the state cannot "use as a factor in affording
educational opportunities among its citizens."
The liberal majority on my home state's top court are still suffering
a combination of shock, horror, and conniptions in reaction to the
surprise ruling. This case was brought by the Wisconsin Institute
for Law and Liberty (WILL) against a 1985 Wisconsin law that
reserved need-based scholarships via a grant program for "Black
American," "American Indian," "Hispanic", and a sprinkling of
Southeast Asian undergraduate students in Wisconsin's private
and technical colleges.
Earlier this month Iowa's supreme court ruled that a scholarship
program reserved for black University of Iowa students studying
physical sciences was "Impracticable" under the SFFA (Students
For Fair Admissions vs. Harvard College) ruling (2023). Given this
trend, it would behoove state governments to repeal these grant
programs and end the discrimination brought about by them or
else the courts will. Either way, this type of discrimination will
soon be gone and good riddance.
