And more importantly, what California saw was a sharp increase in the graduation rates of Black and Hispanic students throughout the system, including in those more difficult STEM fields, computer science, engineering, physics, and so forth. Much, much higher GPAs, much, much higher graduation rates because kids were being better matched with schools.

And so my point is that a policy that was put in place to help increase the ranks of the Black middle class, at the end of the day, was resulting in fewer Black doctors and Black lawyers and Black engineers than we would have had in the absence of the policy.

And I think one of the real tragedies here, Megan, is that when you look at these Black kids who are admitted to some of these selective schools with lower standards, what you find is that they have higher standards than the average college student in this country. They're just lower than they are for students at those more selective schools. So these kids would be hitting it out of the park

academically at a less selective institution. I mean, if they're going to Michigan State instead of Michigan, if they're going to North Carolina State instead of UNC, exactly, you're gonna have them graduating with the degrees they want. It's not that these kids are unqualified for college, it's just they have been put into a situation where they're in over their head

academically, where the pace that classes are taught at is much faster than they're used to. So you're turning really smart kids into artificial failures in the name of helping them. Oh, so interesting. And so good riddance to affirmative action is what I say.

Yeah, exactly. You have not only turned a lot of kids into artificial failures, the ones who are successful on their own merit, their success is somehow tainted by these policies. No one wants to be, and what self-respecting person wants to be the token on campus or in the workplace? And that is what affirmative action has done.

It's also reinforces stereotypes and the justices got into this in the majority opinion. If you go to an elite school and you're surrounded by minority kids who clearly don't belong there and are struggling in class and so forth, you leave college with a certain view of the intellectual capabilities of minorities. That's what these programs are doing.
