Denise Maes: A long way from equality, the Supreme Court heavies our load

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:23:50 GMT

There is a picture that easily explains equality. Three individuals of different heights need to overlook a fence to see a baseball game on the other side. To assist in their view, each is given a step stool of equal height. With the stool, the tallest one can see the game perfectly. The one of middle height can only see part of the game for their view remains obstructed. The shortest one cannot see the game at all.Step stools of equal height are not what that moment called for.Rather, what everyone needed was a stool that provided them with an unobstructed view of the game. This approach values true equality and acknowledges that people come from different places and deal with various obstructions.By overturning forty years of precedent affirming race-conscious admissions for colleges, the Supreme Court turned its back on true equality and ignored the genesis of affirmative action and how it squares with existing law. The Court ignored that racial inequality is not just yesterday’s...
