That is false. To the contrary, the Supreme Court addressed exactly that issue. This is a quote from the actual decision from Supreme Court’s government website, not a news organizations spin on the decision. “Universities, may not simply establish through application essays or other means the regime we hold unlawful today. What cannot be done directly cannot be done indirectly” So the Supreme Court itself has specifically said that the applicant for admission cannot simply write an essay “or other means” as a way to get around the decision. It followed up by saying that if you cannot do it directly, you cannot do it indirectly, which is what the notion of an essay or similar means would attempt to do. Not only does it not allow essays or some other minority base discussion on an entrance application, the decision strikes down the blanket acceptance of race, national origin, sex, etc. as a means of allowing entry that might otherwise be denied. To that extent, it seems that it would now allow what previously was not allowed and that is to have individual student applicants file a lawsuit for discrimination if denied entry based on race, etc. Prior to this decision, a university could accept a possibly less qualified applicant and if another applicant disagreed, the university could fall back on the law, saying basically, oh, well, we can do it. Now they likely can’t without risking continuous litigation.

They want us to know what pronoun to use but they themselves don’t even know what they are.

Ashly reported on everything from High School to little league he will be missed from that aspect but on top of that he is a world class human being and in my experience that's rare in the media world

[Hidden Content] Going to miss @AshlyKBMT. He was great at his job. Hardin-Jefferson getting a good one.

Poll taxes in disguise.

Liberals at its finest just causing more red tape law should be made for lying about what gender you really are….the one your born with.

This is true. But, the word I am getting is if the kid from West Brook were eligible, the QB job would be his hands down.

Some believe racism just affects one color. I ll be sure to write about mine

[Hidden Content] Congrats to the young man! I had a feeling that he and Miller would go to the same school. Huge additions for the Aggies!

AWESOME! You just personally validated that SCOTUS made the right decision! No need for continuing PRIVILEDGES for your race! Thank you!

You have PTSD from something that happened to your mother?

You went.to college? Dang, where did you go? You need a refund.

You and I disagree… I think that your success comes from your actions, and from having a firm foundation of people in your family as examples. I think that most people who are successful and people who are unsuccessful both get there via their own actions and the support given to them by their families. A person’s race has nothing to do with it. If we can accept that a lot of white people are screwups and make absolute wrecks out of their lives, then why is it not okay to admit that the same is true for some black people? “No, it’s racism.”

No doubt, Race , Gender or Religion shouldn’t matter. Hire the most qualified. Never understood as a young applicant forty years ago why that mattered.

Man, it takes a real POS to have kinfolk who were supposedly hanged (for what?) and instead of keeping them in your loving memory, you try to see how that can benefit you. You’re a real pip. I knew we would hear about your college career for the umpteenth time. Funny how your life is a total contradiction to your supposed oppression. You are proof positive that success can be handed to some and they think they earned it. I got into college because of my SAT scores. My Dad had passed and my Mom tried to foot my bill with her SS while I worked at a fast food place. Don’t scream that white privilege crap at me ever again. Go ahead and toot your freakin horn. I had nothing handed to me. I earned it. Something you can never say.

If you kept going backwards you’d find someone someplace. That’s why the “descended from” argument is such a joke. You have two parents, four grands, 8 great grands. The average person is seven generations removed from the time of slavery. Every person seven generations removed from the time of slavery has 128 direct ancestors from that single generation… 256 if they’re eight generations removed. And we’re surprised that one of those 256 people may have been a slaveowner (or slave, for that matter). Im just trying to figure out which one of my ancestors were enslaved so I can get my reparations, too.

So as long as your kinfolk get into college simply because they’re black, you’d be willing to forget this? If you’re telling the truth about your uncles, that was terrible. However, I still owe you nothing. Carve your path like everyone else. Don’t expect others to carve it for you.

Right the WB kid is a dangerous duel threat QB. He has a great arm and is fast as lightning. But Mikey is going to do a great job. It's going to be a fun year for us Tiger fans.

November 6

The move in Mikey is the new QB. He was putting the ball on the money at the 7on7. The other QB from West Brook isn't eligible to play yet.

Same words Fauchi used in the late 80s about AZT when they knew it was a lie. We’ve been lied to for decades about the efficacy and safety of vaccines from our own government.

It seems like a stupid law but using the “wrong” pronoun is not a crime in the proposed law. If it was, it would be nullified by the First Amendment. Basically they want to add pronouns to hate crimes.

Congrats to Orangefield (#16 in 3A) Lumberton (#19 in 4A) and Huffman Hargrave (#22 in 4A) for finishing the year in the top 25 in their divisions for the Lone Star Cup! The Cup represents overall athletic excellence across the board (like the NCAA’s Director’s Cup). Well done to the athletes at these schools. [Hidden Content]

I think that is correct however that is a state level issue, not from SCOTUS. If the federal government passed a law next week (and they obviously don’t have the numbers to do so) about not carrying a firearm without a license, those state laws would be overturned unless SCOTUS stepped in.

Said while looking into a mirror?

Was not done like a reg. 7 on 7. Each team run Offense plays against defense and worked on defense against offense plays. Coach said it went well considering the ath. Pa had.

That is a big DUMPSTER fire.......

Need to remove the race box on job applications as well hire the most qualified no matter the race

The Supreme Court actually brought that up in their decision. From the Supreme Court website: ”Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it”. I believe that affirmative action had its place. Three generations later it seems to be time to move on. The Supreme Court agreed

No Joke! What took so Long? You can’t beat racism with racism. Smh Today was a horrible day for Progressives in America.😁 So let me get this straight … Democrats want to cheat to get into college, and once they get accepted, they want you to pay for it? Uh….

Affirmative action, not really. There is a stipulation that states that a minority can write about life experiences and how racism has affected him. This will be taken into consideration by admission committees.
