Yes! California Lawmakers Respond to Supreme Court Ruling by Ending Legacy Admissions | WATCH
Story by Fisher Jack • 12h


*This may seem to some as another “woke” move, but In a bold move aimed at leveling the playing field for all students, California has enacted a groundbreaking law that forbids private colleges from favoring children of alumni and donors in their admissions processes.

Authored by California Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) and signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in September 2024, this law will take effect in September 2025 and comes in response to the federal Supreme Court’s decision to overturn affirmative action in June 2023.
 
Assemblymember Ting voiced his concerns regarding the inequalities in college admissions during a recent interview with Ethnic Media Services. “If you can’t offer preferential treatment based on race to address past racial discrimination, why would you continue providing preferential treatment for the richest Americans?” he questioned, pointing out the inherent advantages that legacy admissions offer to wealthy applicants.

The discussion around legacy admissions gained momentum following Justice Neil Gorsuch’s remarks during the Supreme Court ruling, wherein he remarked that such practices “undoubtedly benefit white and wealthy applicants the most.” The law seeks to eliminate this bias, following a broader trend to scrutinize admissions practices that favor affluent students.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

End the current way of doing it, maybe.  But commiecrats don't give up that easily.  My guess is they'll just find a different way to hide it.

While I do not favor "Legacy Admissions", do the State of California or US Government have the Constitutional authority to forbid private colleges and universities from such admissions?

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
