SCOTUS Banned Affirmative Action — Except At Military Service Academies

Gene Demby and Lori Lizarraga, co-hosts of NPR's Code Switch, dive into the Supreme Court's contentious ruling against race-based affirmative action in higher education. They explore the surprising exception for military service academies, where the majority opinion deemed diversity a 'battlefield issue.' The conversation includes personal insights from Mary Tobin, a Black West Point graduate, who shares her views on the ruling's impact. The discussion highlights racial disparities in military leadership and the historical context of these policies.
