The Racial Preferences Dead Weight on Democratic Politics The Democratic Party's continued promotion of racial preferences in college admissions and government contracting is a self inflicted wound that threatens to undermine their chances of recapturing the White House and reclaiming the Senate.
Many well intentioned Democrats push for policies that explicitly favor underrepresented groups, but they are out of touch with both the law and public opinion.
The Supreme Court's 2020 ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard declared racial preferences unlawful, yet some Democratic lawmakers and officials have studiously ignored this decision.
