‘Obsession with race’ that ‘belies reality’: Sotomayor and Jackson slam Thomas for equating affirmative action with slavery and Jim Crow

An advocacy group has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take its recent ban on affirmative action programs one step further — and extend its ruling from the context of college admissions to the high school arena.

In late June 2023, the Supreme Court eradicated affirmative-action admissions policies at the collegiate level when it ruled that race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution.

The non-profit Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), which regularly advocates for libertarian or conservative causes, now asks the justices to reverse a lower court decision that allowed an elite Virginia high school to consider race in its admissions decisions.
