How about that? The Supreme Court ruled that racism is wrong. Duh.
In the case of the white New Haven firefighters , they were denied promotions based on the color of their skin, even though they passed exams to be promoted. This is wrong. The Supreme Court ruled as such. They seemed to understand that racism, even if it's meant to diversify the workplace, is wrong.
Hopefully, with this ruling, society will begin to reverse a trend towards lower standards in the workplace and education, all in the name of correcting past racial injustices. If you really want to have a truly diverse and equal society, a quality education for all is the answer. Fighting racism with more racism just demeans us all.
