- The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of equal rights and against race-based affirmative action in college admissions.
- The decision is seen as an important first step in returning to America's values of equality and rejecting endless pursuit of diversity and equity.
- Over the past 20 years, several states have backed measures to prohibit racial discrimination and preferential treatment for minorities.
- Some pushback is anticipated following the ruling, as change after 60 years rarely comes easy.
- The decision is celebrated by those who believe in the ideal of equal treatment for every person.
