Mike Pence recently announced that he was going to make a run for president in 2024.
That being the case, we are going to hear a lot more from him than usual.
To that point, he recently commented on the affirmative action ruling handed down by the Supreme Court.
Needless to say, his support of the decision did not sit well with Democrats and liberals.
The Right Decision
The court ruled that affirmative action on college admissions was not constitutional, and I agree with that ruling.
One could easily make an argument that it was needed at one point to level the playing field, but that day has passed, which was at the center of Pence’s argument.
He stated, “I mean, there may have been a time when affirmative action was necessary simply to open the doors of all of our schools and universities, but I think that time has passed.
“I really believe that the accomplishments of America’s students, particularly our minority students, the great achievements that African-Americans have reached in this country on that educational foundation, I think tells us that we’ve opened those doors and minority students on our campuses have excelled and I’m confident those doors will remain open.
“And we’ll continue to move forward as a colorblind society, which is really, the aspiration I believe of every American.
“I really do believe that we can move forward as a country and embrace the notion that we’re all going to be judged not on the color of our skin, but on the content of our character, and in this case, on our GPA.”
Democrats called the decision racist, which we fully expected to happen, but minority conservatives were ecstatic with the decision, not looking for a handout and wanting to earn their way.
Democrats, however, love those freebies and rely on them to stay in power, so of course they were upset with the decision.
