.SpeakerMcCarthy praised the Supreme Court’s decision to ban the consideration of race as part of the admissions process at colleges and universities. 'Now students will be able to compete based on equal standards and individual merit,' he tweeted.
McCarthy said in a tweet that the ruling would ensure no American would be denied educational opportunities because of their race.“Now students will be able to compete based on equal standards and individual merit. This will make the college admissions process fairer and uphold equality under the law,” his tweet read.
Affirmative action had been in practice since the 1978 case Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, which upheld race-conscious admissions at universities.Other House Republican leaders have also praised the decision, which was released Thursday. “A major victory for the American Dream and all students,” House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik said in a tweet. “Today’s SCOTUS decision correctly rules that in the United States of America, every individual has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of background or race.”
