The Left will do anything to keep their grip on power, even if it means hiding the truth. Now, a judge has stepped in to delay President Trump’s efforts to bring transparency to college admissions.
- Judge halts Trump admin data request.
- 17 Democratic attorney generals sued to block policy.
- Colleges might not be fully complying with the SCOTUS ruling.
A Bush Appointee Sides With the Woke Mob
A federal judge in Boston, appointed by George W. Bush, has temporarily blocked President Trump from requiring colleges to hand over detailed data on race and student admissions. This is a win for the 17 Democratic attorneys general who sued to stop the policy.
Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV issued a temporary restraining order, preventing the administration from immediately demanding this information from universities nationwide. This comes after Trump’s push to ensure universities aren’t using race as a factor in admissions, following a 2023 Supreme Court ruling that banned “race-conscious” admissions.
Colleges Resist Supreme Court Ruling
The Supreme Court ruled that race-based admissions are unconstitutional. Many colleges had to change their admissions process for the first time in decades. However, Trump and many Republicans believe that some universities haven’t fully complied.
Trump’s memo directed Education Secretary Linda McMahon to require colleges to report more data to the federal government. The goal was “to provide adequate transparency into admissions.” All universities that receive federal funding were ordered to submit race and gender admissions data dating back years.
Democrats Cry Foul, Claim Partisan Aims
The Democratic attorneys general argued they didn’t have enough time to gather the data, which spans roughly seven years. They also claimed the Trump administration is trying to turn the Education Department’s statistical agency, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), into a tool for law enforcement and partisan policy.
Judge Saylor’s order extends the deadline to March 25, giving the court time to consider the states’ arguments. It remains unclear whether the Trump administration will appeal the order.
What This Means for Our Future
This delay is a slap in the face to fairness and transparency. The Left knows that if the truth about college admissions comes out, their affirmative action schemes will be exposed for the discriminatory practices they are. They use the courts to slow-walk any effort to hold these institutions accountable. Colleges should be looking at merit, not skin color. This delay allows them to continue hiding their biases and perpetuating a system that rewards anything but hard work and achievement. It is a sad state of affairs when a conservative Supreme Court ruling is undermined by the very institutions it sought to correct. Will we ever achieve true equality of opportunity in education, or will the Left continue to manipulate the system for their own political gain?
