Newjack88,

If being “done here” means you have no further defenses to your claim that interests can indicate an applicant’s ethnicity, then by all means, feel free.

In one of the dissents to Parents Involved, Justice Breyer criticized his colleagues in the majority for overruling Grutter, which dealt with universities and not high schools. Clearly, Justice Breyer disagreed with you that Parents Involved had no connection to universities. Furthermore, you still fail to understand that renaming is what doesn’t work. Renaming changes the external appearance but leaves the internal workings unmodified. That is why something that is patently un-Constitutional will always be patently un-Constitutional regardless of what it is called. That is what is applicable to future cases.
