Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and Virginia Lt. Gov Winsome Sears, each the first black lieutenant governor of their respective state, have joined forces to pen a brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Asian-American students suing Harvard and UNC-Chapel Hill. Carolina Journal was present at the Lieutenant Governor\u2019s Mansion on May 19 at a press conference where the North Carolina Asian American Coalition (NCAAC) thanked Robinson for his support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The students in the lawsuit accuse the institutions of discriminatory admissions practices, where they are held to a higher standard during consideration because of their race. The Robinson\/Sears Amicus brief was filed <a href=\"https:\/\/asianamericannewsnetwork.com\/ltgovernorsfileamicus\/\">May 9th<\/a>. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cWhile it can be argued that these policies had a role in helping many Americans overcome the persistent effects of historical and past discriminations in higher education, those effects are becoming less impactful the further we travel from the dark days of state-sanctioned discrimination,\u201d said Robinson at the event. \u201cInstead, they now function to unfairly discriminate against and deny opportunity to other ethnic and racial groups. Discrimination on the basis of race or ethnicity is immoral in all of its forms, and we can do better. We must do better.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The nonprofit group Students for Fair Admissions filed the original suit in 2014, but when it was ruled in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carolinajournal.com\/unc-chapel-hill-affirmative-action-case-heads-to-u-s-supreme-court\/\"> November 2021<\/a> that Chapel Hill could continue to use affirmative action in their admissions, the case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>College admissions should be based on merit. If a student is admitted because of race or ethnicity and does not have the ability to do college work, the student is being set up to fail. No one gains by doing that. I hope the lawsuit is successful and we go back to rewarding people who work hard and stop rewarding people or punishing people for something they have no control over.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, The Daily Caller reported the following: University of Michigan professor Mark Perry told The Daily Caller News Foundation that he filed a Title VI complaint over a program application at the University of South Carolina that was restricted &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/?p=45777\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[12032,10909,15328,15329,274,12860,7015,15327,15326],"class_list":["post-45777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-college-admissions","tag-harvard","tag-north-carolina-asian-american-coalition-ncaac","tag-students-for-fair-admissions","tag-supreme-court","tag-the-carolina-journal","tag-the-daily-caller","tag-unc-chapel-hill","tag-university-of-south-carolina"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45777"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45777\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45781,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45777\/revisions\/45781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
