why do they write such bastard essays about zoya kosmodemyanskaya and such a wonderful essay about olgatart with such treat. this kind of music makes my head hurt. and buzova turn it on dance to buzova this is because you loved to tell a lot of anchors how you didn’t watch tv, didn’t follow the top of yandex and weren’t subscribed to instagram you may not have been but buzova 15 million. -2 victoria boni or a video with her immediately gets more views and likes than all together, collected and smart lectures that are on youtube and when i read how these magical women express their thoughts. i understand with horror that my seven-year-old daughter, it turns out at least three times more difficult , keeping an eye on what these vicki and nicky write on instagram from tens of millions of daily likes and tens of millions of girls who design life, so the model, and i sincerely i wonder how you can live. twenty to thirty to almost forty years old , having never once been able to formulate a single reasonable thought at all, except for one, you think i am a strong woman. and i'm looking for th

in the essay talk about their life experience, what they learned.re might be a way for many minorities to include that experience in those essays. now the court addressed that somewhat i guess. >> they did. neil: they're free to say and point out what they want without pointing out the obvious, aren't they or are they? >> students are free to share whatever experiences they have and majority opinion says they can't use this as a workaround for what we have today. you can still have the essays they can benefit the student, benefit the school, looking at a holistic approach but you cannot use them in a way you're looking at the essay, ah, this person is a specific race, let's make this specific decision. the court warns schools about trying to do an end-run what the heart of this decision was today. neil: got it, shannon, thank you so much. shannon bream at the supreme court weighing in on this. there is that one big decision we're waiting on tomorrow. now of course will be on the president's 400 billion-dollar college loan relief program. up to the j

is it okay to raise race in essays, because raising race in essay raises the possibility that the admissions office may rely on that factor, and any other number of alternatives that the schools are considering that are subject to judicial challenge. and again, today, universities have to be concerned about the whole person, and holistic analysis, and it is not fair for the majority of decision was to be a decision based on a number of different factors. and so, what is going to happen, i think that besides judicial challenges affected at unc and other places because of the essays, i think that you will begin to see the universities trying to raise more money for students so that they can provide scholarships to promote diversity. that is ak factor, and as noted before by richard when example at a great place by berkeley who has diversity from racial minorities and one other thing is that berkeley has less money to try to get people. there is intense competition, and already intense competition for students of all kinds. and that competition is going to be incredibly intense. >> if you are a

way essay america first which some i essay america first which some overseas — essay america first whicho do when i find that the wall streetjournal and i'm sure someone here from there and other publications talking about biden economic system i did not realise i had bidenomics was going on. but the fundamental point is the changes taking place international trade, nobody or at least very few in the us and i suspect from around the world knew what the supply chain meant or what they were talking about with the supply chain. wheat found out during the pandemic that the reason why we could not bill automobiles was because the outfit that we got our semiconductors from in southeast asia had shut down because the pandemic. we realised that i decided that no longer will be rely on one sinner of the support for any of the things that are needed for our economic growth. and i made it clear to all our nato allies and our partners as well that although we were going to generate a for example ai capacity here, excuse me, a semiconductor capacity here in the united states, attracting literally sev

for example, you can write an essay. you can articulate your answers to certain short-form questions. universities are going to have to figure out, how do they try to get at the individual story? what is clear is what the court has said is that the explicit use of race as a factor, the explicit use, the question regarding race and the determination of that as part of the process, that strictly understood needs to end. they have to figure out how they assess what an individual brings to the table in a holistic form. >> okay. thank you for weighing in on this from stanford university. this has had a ricochet affect. we have heard from republican presidential candidate and former vice president mike pence. he made a surprise visit to ukraine. he has addressed this breaking news from the supreme court as well. let's go to dasha burns who is traveling with pence. she's joining us from kyiv. talk about what mike pence had to say. >> reporter: alex, mike pence makes this visit here to ukraine at a significant moment with all of

by looking at things like their essay. he's saying, look, if someone has encountered adversity are where they've had to find courage because of their race, they should absolutely write about that in their essays when applying to college. it's just that race shouldn't be considered on the college application as a factor on its own. so there are a lot of factors where they're trying to bring in other ways that student bodies can continue to look at, whether it be socioeconomic diversity or the way race impacts a student or applicant's life. and that i find over and over in his opinion. i also just wanted to point out how many people wrote on this. it was justice thomas writing the majority. we also saw gorsuch and kavanaugh concur and write their own opinions, and then we saws dissent from sotomayor and chief justice jackson wrote her own dissent, of course just in the unc case because she is recused from the harvard case. a lot of people with a lot of opinions adding onto this. there was another piece in the concurring opin

an example would be the essay a student presents as part of their application.ent coming in against that notion is now students will be forced to write about race in an essay in order for that to be taken into account. deeply personal reactions on all sides of this. we've been hearing already within moments of this decision coming down. i want to bring in a couple of our contributors. donna brazille, contributor to abc news. donna, what do you make of this decision? >> it's a very sad day. i agree with the student who said i shouldn't be surprised. but i am shocked by the fact that in the majority opinion they basically whitewash, whitewashed the constitution in a way that basically says that we were right all along, the 14 amendment, equal protection clause will guarantee us a color blind society. when slavery ended jim crow began to take root not only in the south but the rest of the country. took the civil rights act of 1964 to eliminate the racism. now the most effective tool, an affirmative tool, to eliminate barriers. a tool that would give us opportunity,

it could then come down to those essays if you have ever applied to college, sometimes they say the essay matters, sometimes more the grades. and that would be the thing that would determine whether you get in to a school or not. what do you put in those essays to sort of influence an ivy league school. nicholas, let me ask you. if the focus now is on these essays that a lot of kid write as they put their applications together for college, you don't have to say you're a minority. you can say about your journey and what got you here and make a reference to that where there's an understanding that you're not used racing but you're using the experience maybe inclusive of race to get some special attention. is that so wrong and does that really change? >> well, you're right. it creates this back door approach. we have to understand that race-based admissions is insulting. it insipates that minorities can compete with counter parts. 50% of my students are minorities and they perform just as well as white and asian counter parts. we need to stop what the racism of low expectations. that's what

so he's both trying to suck and blow on this sort of essay escape hatch. and again, justice jackson, justice sotomayor call him out for it. i think there's a way in which he's thinking if you're an applicant to any university now i think you're supposed to hint at your racial history and your identity the same way donald trump declassifies classified documents. you can sort of do it with your mind and hope that the colleges figure it out.gu i mean that's clearly to the extent there's an escape hatch here, i guess that's it. but, again, i just think to melissa's point, the utter cynicism of saying, you know, that this is what, you know, the reconstruction amendments that the radical abolitionists who wrote those amendments were trying to do, the congress that passed clearly race conscious remedial efforts and the entire history, justice jackson's minority dissenting opinion here is a master class on the history of racism, red lining, the g.i. bill, getting loans, share cropping. it's all in there, and the idea that all of that just goes away, poof, because

you cannot consider race but feel free to put it into your essay because that is your lived experience. so, you say that this could spot a cottage industry of litigation. like what? >> here's a great example. again, imagine a kid puts in a college essay, my parents are from senegal, i am black, i am also a champion soccer player and my dad have been to go to this university. right? there's a number of factors that are going to affect them, and maybe they consider that students race, right? so, has the school violated the law by thinking about this person's race? to the cottage industry point on this, i do wonder if you are a nonprofit opposed to the use of race in admissions, why are you not suing every university over the coming years, to get the records of their admissions decisions, to try to figure out how these essays or whatever, information, zip codes or magazines of options, whatever they are doing to try to figure out what people's race are, why are they not suing them? and they absolutely could. cottage industry, that is my term that is a little bit cute, but it is. why would

they just consider race itself. >> bhought you said both essays might be entirely appropriate for the university to consider, correct? >> there is no federal statute about what essays university consider. >> are you just objecting to checking a box officers can look at? >> we arobjecting to the use of race as a plus or minus in making -- ihink the district court made clear the finding that checking the box alone is not what got anybody in. it was a holistic enterprise that looked at everything the candidate did, and race migh have been one among many factors. there is a lot of hispanics and blacks who have higher gpas than many whites who do not get admitt they are not looking at just being black and white, they are rejecting a lot of the 10% applicho have higher numbers then i guess whites and asian american >> there is a finding from the di court in our favor and page 116 of the index that harvard can award a ra preference is to checkbox alone, whether or not applicant writes about it or indicas that is important. >> that finding was made in an undisputed finding by the district cou

this book has several essays in it. one of these essays asks the question should we keep or should we dissolve the black church. [inaudible conversations] >> well -- [laughter] dismantle it, throw it away or is it salvageable, right? another question asks will we ever get too the place where we believe that black people are beautiful? not we can get beautiful when we get dressed up. but can we be beautiful. which i think is a different kind of question. another essay asks the question of maybe integration wasn't such a good idea. so maybe i'll read a little bit from that. right. around here with our great friend in america. [laughter] i'm going to open with the opening'ses say, the reasons i write -- the opening essay, the reasons i write. i write because i believed i was ugly. then i wrote myself into beauty. i write because i hated who i was, then god told me i was divine and shame had no place in a divine soul. in exchange, i promised god to tell the truth, the real, naked, glorious that we are all god made in the im

>> imagine a kid puts in a college essay, my parents are from senegal, i am black, i'm also a champion soccer player, and my dad happened to go to this university. there are a number of factors that are going to affect them, and maybe they consider that students race. so it has the student violated the law by thinking about this person's race? for the cottage industry point on this, i do wonder if you are a nonprofit that is opposed to the use of race in admissions, why aren't you suing every university over the coming years to get the records of their admissions decisions to try to figure out how these essays, or whatever information, zip codes or magazine subscriptions, whatever they are doing to try to figure out people's race, why are they suing them? they absolutely could. the cottage industry, it was my term and it is a little bit cute, but it is. and why wouldn't it be? i think it would be the smart thing to do if this is how you are aligned as an organization or a nonprofit. >> thank you very much. richard, thank you very much for your perspective it is really interesting to he

they write their essays, the old fashioned in longhand on their they have enough access to research to help them, but not so much that they're overwhelmed and they're not being constantly distracted by sort of flashier things going on in their lives. what do you think prisoners are getting from the classics, from john locke from tocqueville, etc. ? i think they're getting exactly what i got in college in the 1970s, which is a expanded view of. the world and our relative small place in it. the idea that the brilliant ideas think we have are not that we all that people have been to all these places before and have had very sophisticated and complex and interesting thoughts. we need to be aware of before we wade the same waters philosophically, intellectually, historically. you know, i, i think the history of teaching is going to teaching. history has gone down the toilet. don't know any young people who know any history. now at all. and you know how that comes back. i'm not sure. part of the problem i think is, is the fact that school boards are locally influenced and there's no sort of

, the essay can include a reference to his or her race. >> one would hope so. one would hope that students would be able to talk about who they are and where they came from and their experiences. so i think there was no way they could not make that carve out. but what, to me, all of this represents is this is a proxy discussion for a broader conversation that's happening in this country about whether the consequences of systemic barriers for people of color, specifically for black people in this country, still mattered today. for some conservatives, they have been saying not just in 2023, but for many m decades, there should be no consideration of systemic barriers in college eadmissions. but today where we stand now, i think the discussion has broadened beyond education. this is the longest fight that has been being fought. but we're going to see this conversation expanding in other aspects of life. i don't think -- just before you jump in, we do need to recognize that what we're talking about here when it comes to education is not just what is an individual s

end of the opinion, he tried to say, look, you know, you can bring in race as an experience in your essay. justice sotomayor joined by the other liberals. they seized that. she said that falls way short of bringing diversity on college campuses. she wrote the supposed recognition that universities can in some situations consider race in application essays is nothing but an attempt to put lipstick on a pig. she said this decision will somewhere a devastating impact, and it could be overstated. the two african american jurists on this court sitting on polar sides of the issue. we heard from justice thomas. what was unusual here, he read hi concurrence from the bench. that rarely happens. he basically said he is painfully aware of the history of racism in this country, but he thinking everybody needs to be treated equally. justice jackson on the other side, her first term, she said the court's own missteps are both especially memorialized and excruciating plain. the schools wanted diversity, they felt like their schools are a pipeline to society, and the conservative challenges here, it was

not only as a a essay or an exhibit or book, but i think of it as an ongoing documentary project, an evolutionary project. i will be doing this photography until i die. and so where the photographs that i have devoted most my time to tell this point in my life have been of the poorer classes of. i am also photographing what is commonly known as the middle class, the upper middle class and the rich. in many parts of the world. the images that people have of black americans are generally just the images of the downtrodden, the poor, the dope addicts and pictures are seldom ever shown of the people are prospers and who are making it and who are sharing parts of the american dream. our objective in america was to become educated and to move into mainstream america. our objective was to get a good education and to get jobs. and we are now doing that black in america are probably making more headway as far as equipping themselves to deal with the times in which we are living than a lot of the brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. that's only because we have access to so much. i

i think my entire essay was the problem. the fact that i was against transgenders competing in female sports but if i were a pro, then probably would not have been an issue. >> so this is exactly the wording that we got from your -- from you, university of cincinnati professor detailing the explanation for this 0 on your essay. olivia, this is a solid proposal however the terms biological women are exclusionnary and not allowed in this course as they further -- i don't have the second full screen here, can we put it up -- i believe the issue here is that he believes this is excluding people in general to use the words biological woman. so, what do you plan to do about this, getting a failing grade it has serious consequences. >> yeah, i actually had a meeting with the school where another professor has been assigned to grade my homework, or the assignment and all future assignments in the class. nothing has happened with the professor as of yet, so -- >> sandra: so what actions do you plan to take? >> honestly, i just want t

we now have fighting opinions and dissents about whether you can put in an essay for college admission background and how that has changed you, and literally, the fact that we are in an essay-off, about the question of constitutional 14th amendment doctrine shows you how utterly really murky and weird this majority opinion is. >> so, laura, why make it so murky? they had the majority on their side. why not be decisive, why not be clear? >> it's a great question, and we'll chalk it up to roberts being roberts, and this is his effort to have it both ways. i don't know. you would think certainly for many of the conservatives on this court, certainly justice thomas, this has been sort of their life's work and project that they haven't been shy about. justice roberts has gone on the record many times with this, you know, clear feelings against how race is used in college admissions in this way. i don't know what the move is to not just be explicit about it. but i do think that the output for the public understanding this when it's a time when the courts institutional integrity is in a delic

but despite assertion to the contrary universities may not be established through application essays or other means the regina we hold today. what cannot be done directly cannot be done indirectly. it is confusing. >> reporter: it can be. remember when people are talking about affirmative action there seems to be a very growing trend where people are talking about one thing or another but never quite how affirmative action actually works. the president of the united states actually alluded in his own speech it's not that you begin with race of an applicant and then decide whether their qualifying at that moment. it's about the qualifications of the actual applicant whether they are already otherwise qualified on a merit based and albeit subjective set of criteria and then race is often use in terms of the admissions process as it was articulated in the arguments before the court in briefings and amicus briefs and beyond as a way of looking at similarly students or those who have similar test scores particularly similar geographic or other things and then to what extent one applicant

the essays will still identify the race of the applicant. and i expect that high school admissions officers are taking these three lines from the opinion and saying write this. write about your struggles. so there is going to be a displacement factor here. for chief justice roberts it is an amazing moment. he feels it is still important to say it's wrong to reduce people to a box. it is wrong to try to lower the number of asian-americans admitted because they are asian-americans. that is going to be a lasting and important part of his legacy. >> dana: indeed it is. roger severino still with us, i imagine? >> yes. >> dana: roger, when it comes to what schools might have been already doing, i assume that they were watching this very closely. they were planning ahead. and as ken markus said they might have been trying to figure out a way to get around it. what is the mechanism to see if schools will figure out a way to be in line with what the supreme court has now said is unconstitutional? >> one of the troubling developments we've seen is tha

this supposed recognition that universities can in some situations consider race in application essays is nothing but an attempt to put lipstick on a pig. what she was referring to is the fact that the chief had said well, you know, they can't give their race and classification boxes that you check off normally on applications but a student could maybe refer to race and any racial difficulties in the essay, but even then, the chief said in his opinion that it couldn't be, he suggested it couldn't be contrived. race would have to be woven into an essay to show how that was part of a meaningful experience of someone. he stressed that he didn't think that colleges and universities who tried indirectly get around something that they had directly been doing before. really momentus decision. >> historic, indeed. you were there in the room as it was being read, in fact. and we'll discuss that. stay with us. don't go too far away. we've got more to discuss in a few minutes. let's go to the white house and get president biden's reaction. jeremy dimon is joining us with more on that. tell us wha

needed >> i find the college essay component to this, as you described, so confusing. having had to seniors who have just gone through this, the college essay is about your lived experience, or it supposed to be, to shed light on who you really, are beyond your test scores. and, so what justice roberts said about it, i'll just read to everyone. he says, nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicants discussion of how race affected his or her life. be a true discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise. but despite the dissent's assertion to the contrary, universities may not simply establish, through application, essays or other means, the regime we hold unlawful today, what cannot be done directly, cannot be done indirectly. it is confusing. laura >> it can be, and you look at how do i really actually carry this out, without either offending the ruling, or the constitution as the majority is holding here. so remember, when people are talking about affirmative action, there seems to be a very growing trend, where peo

. >> the path forward for colleges is still murky, the court says schools may consider an essay from a student about the impact of race on one's life, the three discrimination, inspiration or otherwise. justice souter my or reading her dissent from the bench for nearly 20 minutes calling the essay suggestion and attempt to put lipstick on a pig. now, colleges are left with a new world order, navigating how to recruit minorities and comply with the law. >> for those who don't want to visit their own systemic barriers that they presented, we're putting them on notice. they want to continue those legacy admission programs, we will challenge them. >> i told you it was a big night, today at the white house president biden criticize the ruling and he said he believed in efforts to push for diversity. >> i strongly, strongly disagree with the court's decision. discrimination still exists in america. today's decision does not change that. we cannot let the decision be a permanent step back for the country. >> is this relevant for the court? >> this is not a normal court. >> gop presidential

i wrote an essay at school. i would tell these facts about my mother being invited. uh, then uh to socialize. to school in what party? where does he get such data from, and my grandfather said that they raked people, and it doesn’t matter who was there, when they just raked them, and because of this, a bunch were at the level of the second third floor of houses, that we won this battle once again i say that our people cannot be broken somehow here before. they showed everything and the truth, probably, about the war. as it seems to you, now the time has come to reveal it all to raise to the surface the same was. he also did not tell everything , he had two orders of glory, two orders of the red star in combat, and i just read in modern times, when the feat of the people the internet resource appeared and only the tan really found out what he got them for. time has passed now. we need some additional emotions, what can we get from this in order to understand, to realize, to pass on to the generation? i came home from work triangle of hope. this is a fountain. letters

organization of stone and concrete schools until the end of 1439 for a few months the theme of the essay on the open stone lesson is not resistant . a small-scale school of shoba petrochemicals will be started. we have an understanding with benefactors, which will help . 123,123 usually benefactors and petrochemical social responsibility institutions show interest. it happened that the school was a concourse out of 1,500 classrooms to deliver students. this is a big event . we can't say that deletion is not a correct interpretation, because again , we prioritized organizing a concourse with teachers and students above ten. this is the first school, and after that, the addition is added. with the help of provincial resources, we can sort it again. we have a changing population . when we register, we find out the number of students who have migrated to australia . the government has organized these two issues like a clay school. congratulations to the school. in the previous period, god willing, by the end of the fiscal year 1403, what is the organization of the unit? in less than a minute

into an interesting and exciting one there were rumors about the coming end of the world and in his essay about the expected rain of fire. youth. i tried to give an explanation of this phenomenon from a scientific point of view, the text was written in the form of a casual conversation, successfully combined with historical digressions and vivid comparisons afterwards. this style of writing became a hallmark, perelman, already students of the forestry institute, yakov and sidorovich , began to write for the journal nature and people , at first its topics were limited to astronomy, but gradually they began to expand and to touch on mathematics, physics, technology, much of what was published in the journal later in perelman's first book. entertaining physics, the publication was a resounding success, and perelman subsequently wrote many more books among ordinary readers and professional scientists. in russian alone, they were reprinted more than 300 times with a circulation of almost 15 million copies. in addition, his books were printed in many foreign languages ​​​​on perelman’s account,

but is it very obvious if you just ask chatgpt to write an essay and the essay is written?ly incredibly difficult. there has been some really interesting early research that suggests that basically no one can tell if it's written by human or if it's written by an a.i. bot of some sort so this is incredibly difficult to figure out one way or the other and a lot of the services, i think turn it in has a service that says it can tell if it's a.i. generated or not and my understanding is that those are not particularly accurate. but again, i think that what we're really looking at here and i think what's really interesting about all these new technologies and the way i'm using them is kind of like for a first draft. it gives you the basic idea or gives you a basic outline of something or a basic outline of a topic to talk about but it's not going to get into the knity gritty and the stuff that matters and is interesting. those sorts of elements you've got to do the extra research. ni'm in a very specific area, public policy research which is different than the political science

you agree with respect to the essays, whether it is ce counselors or students, can choose to express about their own racial exper equal credit to an asian student who write an ebout overcoming discrimination, that is overcoming discriminat which which justice scalia wrote is not al classification. >> it's one th to say yes it shows resilience and you've written about overco discrimination and a student c write about any number of obstacles they hav overc down the line.disabilities on what about the last argument about pride, what if an applicant wrote an essay about how integral the racial ethnicity was to them as a source of pride, and racial heritage were important? would that be ok, if it intimately tied up with traditions of a mexican family? if the answeo, that cannot be extricated from race, why would e different than someone writing about how important it was t to have a passion for music in their life love music? t it was to them to have a passion for music in their life, they love music? >> culture, tradition and heritage are notffimits for students to talk about and for uni

the chiefjustice said that if a student writes an essay and mentions his or her background in that essayis ri . ht. selective admissions. that is right- the — selective admissions. that is right. the reality _ selective admissions. that is right. the reality is - selective admissions. that is right. the reality is we - selective admissions. that is| right. the reality is we cannot embrace race. for a student to create an application that would be devoid of their lived experience, informed by their race or ethnicity or national origin is folly and it is really impossible to do. i think that was discussed during oral arguments for both cases, that this is something that would be necessary. so even separate, i don't put too much purchase with the opinion of justice thomas because it is a concurrence but in terms of what the majority says, they do look to the notion of diversity as being a commendable goal but the court, and maybe this gets your point, the court speaks about, really, an issue of their own competence. the competence of the court to determine and measure when a couege determin

i interviewed for the essays in the book. it just gave me a great foundation to to understand where they were coming from and to know what it was to ask them about which which i hadn't. i mean, it's great that these two things in my life dovetail at the same time, because that wasn't something that was planned. so you follow these three teachers. can you tell us a little bit about your reporting process where you sitting in their classroom? because i felt like you were in the book. oh, thank you. no, i wasn't. for several reasons. one, with the pandemic, it was harder to get into school buildings. schools were you know, you have to show id, you have to be approved to get in. and so that's not something that i wanted their administrators. or parents or community or students to know about, because these teachers, they really bared all in their personal lives and their professional lives, and they wanted to be completely, 100% candid. and for them to do that, they couldn't be outed. so their schools couldn't know they were parti

but that you could maybe look at the essays talking about the impact of race on people's lives.r not do that. it's a feast for the lawyers at the universities. it's an example of how the supreme court in its actions can up end the lives of millions of people. this affects all schools across the country. and what has changed? the facts haven't changed. the country hasn't changed except its grown more sdiverse. what's changed is who is on the court. you now have six very conservative justices on big cases like this moving in lock step. that has turned out to matter more than the doctrine or the cases that are brought. that way it's kind of significantly political decision. i think it's going to be super charged on both sides in the political debates going forward. >> happen to have in my inbox a statement from harvard here on this. it's very long. they say, we will certainly comply with the court's decision. they go on to say, we affirm that because the teaching, learning, research and creativity that bring progress and change, diversity and difference are essential to academic ex
