Thoughts on the recent Supreme Court decision banning affirmative action in college admissions.

It is absolutely the right decision, and I expected it. However, I also expect the stubborn, unprincipled educational establishment to violate this law by adopting one workaround after another.

The University of Texas, Austin, some time ago, did that effectively by admitting the ranking top 10% in any high school graduating class across the state, disregarding the quality of the school. Discrimination against whites and asians is perhaps even worse under this workaround than under transparent affirmative action. It should be challenged.

To clarify my position: I think affirmative action is immoral, paternalistic, and unconstitutional. In my ideal world, to the extent that Harvard is a private institution, I think it ought to be able to discriminate if it wants to. But, insofar as affirmative action is actually affirmative discrimination, I think it violates anti-discrimination law, and thus violates the 14^th Amendment requiring “equal protection” of individuals under the law - (even though I do not support that law - Title VII of the Civil Rights Act). If Harvard is allowed to discriminate, then anyone should be allowed to discriminate against whomever they want. The law should not be confined to preventing discrimination only against certain groups, while allowing and encouraging it against others. 

Meantime social media is abuzz with this, "reporting" on how bad it is, without any clue about the facts and the principles involved. They claim the moral high ground for an immoral cause.
