Rather than focusing on the joy of reading, you’re focused on censoring the books on my shelf - Meili Powell, @edtrusttn’s assistant director, Advocacy & Engagement,

Join us on August 24 for a deep dive into the recent decision by the Supreme Court of the United States impacting race-conscious affirmative action. RSVP here: https://t.co/Ji9LIOtUPt

[EdTrust @EdTrust]

Today, #SCOTUS ignored the plight of more than 40 million student loan borrowers w/ a ruling that not only strikes down Biden’s debt relief plan but turns a blind eye to the crushing effect these loans have on families & our country’s economic prosperity. https://t.co/nRzTTrUlgd

[This Is Nashville @ThisIsNashville]

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled affirmative action in higher ed unconstitutional ... meaning universities & colleges must stop considering race in admissions.

Listen back to our in-depth episode on what this ruling will mean for Tennessee. @WPLN

NEW: The recent Supreme Court decision to end #AffirmativeAction in college admissions is not only counterproductive to equal opportunity & diversity in higher education but raises concerns about the erosion of democratic values in our society. @edtrust https://t.co/LdL27ZnLWZ

[Meili Powell @meilicpowell]

AA has been an instrument that colleges can use to ensure that students of color receive fair consideration for admissions given systemic barriers, underinvestment in schools, inequities in access to advanced classes, & non-academic factors that advantage White/wealthier students
