The Court's conservative majority manipulated the term race, departing from the historical implications of racial segregation cases like Brown v. Board of Education, while also leveraging claims of discrimination by Asian Americans to undermine affirmative action as a whole.
These decisions distort U.S. race relations history, embedding falsehoods into law that could facilitate further attacks on racial justice across various sectors like voting rights, employment, housing, and criminal justice.
Chief Justice John Roberts misinterpreted the NAACP's argument in the Brown case to support a stance against using race as a factor in providing educational opportunities, reflecting a disingenuous view of historical precedents.
These Supreme Court decisions have significant implications beyond affirmative action, shaping the trajectory of racial equality in various societal realms, potentially making it easier to undermine justice in critical areas such as voting rights and criminal justice.
