A number of SCOTUS decisions are being made prior to the 4th of July weekend.

Here's an overview of our common sense take...

The decision is limited to admissions and does not apply to other areas like scholarships or job promotions.

The court ruled that race can be considered as part of a person's story in admissions, but cannot be the sole factor.

The hosts debate the effectiveness of affirmative action and the use of standardized tests in admissions.

They argue for a holistic approach to admissions, considering a student's overall qualities and background.

Concerns are raised about admitting students who may not have the intellectual capacity to succeed in certain institutions.

The hosts mention the importance of addressing underlying issues that contribute to disparities in test scores.

Concerns about the fairness of affirmative action and potential discrimination based on race are expressed.

The importance of treating individuals as individuals and protecting individual rights is emphasized.

The historical context of the 14th Amendment and its original purpose of protecting the civil rights of black people is highlighted.
