Avast, me hearties! As the Supreme Court be decreein' to put an end to affirmative action in college admissions, the legendary NBA buccaneer, Charles Barkley, didst amend his will to bestow a treasure trove o' doubloons to his alma mater, arr!
NBA legend Charles Barkley has made a humorous amendment to his will in response to the Supreme Court's decision to outlaw affirmative action in college admissions. The court ruled in a 6-3 decision that the use of race as a factor in college admissions is a violation of the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause. This decision outraged Barkley, so he has decided to leave $5 million to his alma mater, Auburn University, in an effort to ensure diversity at the school. Barkley stated that he wants to make sure "Black folks always have a place at Auburn." Currently, only a little over 5% of Auburn students are Black.Barkley is not the only one who criticized the Supreme Court's decision. President Biden also expressed his strong opinion on the matter, stating that the court has walked away from decades of precedent. The NAACP also condemned the ruling, calling it "hate-inspired" and a "dark day in America." They believe that affirmative action is necessary because colleges, universities, and employers cannot be relied upon to embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion. They argue that race plays an undeniable role in shaping the identities and quality of life for Black Americans.
In addition to the affirmative action ruling, the Supreme Court also rejected Biden's student debt handout. These decisions have sparked controversy and highlight the ongoing debate surrounding education and racial equality in America.
