The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:
5:05pm- John O. McGinnis—George C. Dix Professor in Constitutional Law at Northwestern University—joins show to talk about his recent Wall Street Journal editorial, “Amy Coney Barrett’s Modest Way to End Racial Preferences.” In the editorial, Professor McGinnis writes, “Grutter v. Bollinger… held the pursuit of diversity satisfies the strict scrutiny required to overcome the constitutional presumption against discrimination under the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. But the justices can put a stop to racial preferences without reaching the constitutional question. Universities are required to abide by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is unambiguous about preferential admission on the basis of race.”
