The US Supreme Court on Thursday struck down affirmative action in college admissions, ruling that consideration of race during the admissions process is unconstitutional. The loss of affirmative action could be devastating for Black, Latino, and Native American students, who have historically been left out of higher education in America and faced systemic barriers in the education system. #AffirmativeAction #EqualOpportunity #DiversityAndInclusion #NCEquality #FairHiring #EqualRepresentation #Inclusive #NCProgress #NCJustice #EqualAccess
