Phoenix, AZ - Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09) issued the following statement in response to the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions Inc. (SFFA) v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, and SFFA v. University of North Carolina (UNC):

“The decision handed down by the Supreme Court regarding the pervasive and systemic racial discrimination engaged in by Harvard University, the University of North Carolina and most other colleges in the United States is a resounding win for all students and parents who have long known that racial classifications for college admission is unconstitutional.

All citizens are equal before the law.  The High Court wisely struck the racist practices engaged in by woke college admissions panels and noted that diversity, inclusion and equity violates the Constitution.  No one should be discriminated against in this country because of their race.  The shameful affirmative action practices of the last 50 years have been a blight on this country and an affront to the Constitution and the rule of law.  

At long last we should start to see universities, corporations, schools and agencies finally focus on merit, not race, and achieve a color-blind society as mandated by law,” said Congressman Gosar.  

Background:

In its decision, the Supreme Court struck down on a 6–3 vote the use of racially discriminatory admissions policies that colleges and universities have been engaged in for over 50 years, largely directed at White and Asian students, and found this systemic racial discrimination violated the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause.
