US Supreme Court decision on quota admission divides America: Who said what
Hindustan TimesThe US Supreme Court's striking down of race-based admissions at two universities has drawn contrasting reactions from Democrats and Republicans. Demonstrators protest outside of the Supreme Court in Washington, Thursday, June 29, 2023, after the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in college admissions, saying race cannot be a factor. Who said what: Joe Biden The president said the Supreme Court had “done more to unravel basic rights and basic decisions than any court in recent history.” “I just find it so out of sorts with the basic value system of the American people,” Biden said in an interview. Now it’s up to all of us to give young people the opportunities they deserve — and help students everywhere benefit from new perspectives.” Kamala Harris US Vice President Kamala Harris said the court's decision to end "affirmative action" in college admissions is "a denial of opportunity". Mike Pence Trump's former Vice President Mike Pence, who is Ron DeSantis Trump's top election rival Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, said the ruling would end what he described as race-based "discrimination" in university applications.
