00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.900
Today, the court once again, walked away from Decades of precedent

00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:08.900
and make as a descent is made clear to the Saint States,

00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:15.100
decision, quote package of precedent and momentous progress.

00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:18.400
And the quote, I agree with that statement from The Descendants

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:20.100
are from The Descent.

00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:23.200
The court has effectively ended affirmative action in college

00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:27.100
admissions. My strong strongly disagree with the Court's

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:30.300
decision. Many people wrongly believed that affirmative

00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:34.500
action allows unqualified students unqualified students

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:35.000
to be admitted.

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:36.600
He had to qualify students.

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.700
This is not, this is not how College admissions work.

00:00:40.700 --> 00:00:45.100
Rather colleges set out standards for the mission and every

00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:49.000
student every student has to meet those standards then.

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.400
And only, then that's the first meeting the qualifications

00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:55.000
required, by the school to college, for the other factors

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.500
in addition to their grades such as race.

00:00:58.500 --> 00:00:59.900
I've always believed.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.300
One of the greatest strengths of America you tired of hearing

00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:03.600
me. Say it is our diversity.

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.100
But I believe that if you have any doubt about this,

00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:08.400
just look at the United States military.

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.500
The finest fighting force in the history of the world.

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:14.800
It's been a model of diversity.

00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:17.500
And is not only been Army donation,

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:19.000
better stronger, but safer.

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.900
I believe the same is true for schools.

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:24.900
I've always believed that the promise of America is big enough

00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:28.800
for everyone to succeed and that every generation Americans

00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:31.500
we have benefited by opening the doors of opportunity,

00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:35.000
just a little bit wider to include those when I left behind.

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.000
I believe our colleges are stronger.

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:39.400
When they are racially diverse.

00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.800
Our nation is stronger because we use will be because we are

00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:47.300
tapping into the full range of talents Nation.

00:01:47.300 --> 00:01:50.100
We cannot let this decision be the last word.

00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:51.000
One of them.

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.500
We cannot let this decision be the last word.

00:01:53.500 --> 00:01:55.100
All the court can render a decision.

00:01:55.100 --> 00:01:58.300
It cannot change what America stands for.

00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:02.500
America's an idea, an idea unique in the world.

00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:06.900
My dear, hope and opportunity of possibilities.

00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:08.700
I'm giving everyone a fair shot.

00:02:08.700 --> 00:02:11.200
I'm leaving no one behind it.

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:14.200
Never fully lived up to it, but we've never walked away from

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:16.900
it either. We will not walk away from it. Now,

00:02:16.900 --> 00:02:20.600
we should never allow the country to walk away from the

00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:25.500
dream upon which it was found that opportunity is for everyone.

00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:28.200
Not just a few, we need A New Path forward,

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:31.900
a path consistent with the law that protects diversity,

00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:37.000
and expands opportunity, and should not have been as should

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.900
not have been in their commitment to ensure student bodies

00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:44.200
of diverse backgrounds and experiences that reflect all of America.

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.400
When I proposed consideration is a newsstand or colleges

00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:51.400
take into account, the adversity.

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.000
As soon as overcome When selecting among qualified applicants,

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.700
let's be clear to standard.

00:02:57.700 --> 00:03:00.600
This is what's true under the earlier standard students,

00:03:00.600 --> 00:03:03.700
first have to be qualified applicants because the truth is,

00:03:03.700 --> 00:03:09.700
we all know it discrimination still exists in America discrimination

00:03:09.700 --> 00:03:13.900
still exists in America discrimination still exists in America.

00:03:13.900 --> 00:03:16.700
Today's decision does not change that.

00:03:16.700 --> 00:03:20.700
So, simple fact, it was student has has,

00:03:20.700 --> 00:03:23.600
overcome had to overcome adversity on their path,

00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:26.500
education, should recognize in value that.
