Reeling from the SCOTUS’ overturn of affirmative action, the DOJ and the DOE have released guidance to help schools maintain “diversity.”
From The Epoch Times. President Joe Biden’s administration is circulating new guidance for how colleges and universities can promote diversity after a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down race-based affirmative action admission policies. …

On Monday, Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta announced the Department of Justice and Department of Education would begin circulating a cover letter and Q&A document (pdf) that instructs institutions of higher education on how they can still factor race into their admissions policies. …
Federal Guidance
The Q&A document states that “universities may continue to embrace appropriate considerations through holistic application-review processes and (for example) provide opportunities to assess how applicants’ individual backgrounds and attributes—including those related to their race, experiences of racial discrimination, or the racial composition of their neighborhoods and schools—position them to contribute to campus in unique ways.”
The guidance document described specific permissible admissions scenarios, such as a university considering an application that describes what it meant for the applicant “to become the first black violinist in their city’s youth orchestra,” or “how an applicant conquered her feelings of isolation as a Latina student at an overwhelmingly white high school to join the debate team.”
The DOJ-DOE document further stated that colleges and universities may use admissions practices that consider “the full range of circumstances a student has faced in achieving their accomplishments, including financial means and broader socioeconomic status; information about the applicant’s neighborhood and high school; and experiences of adversity, including racial discrimination.” …
The document goes so far as to say colleges and universities “may direct outreach and recruitment efforts toward schools and school districts that serve predominantly students of color and students of limited financial means.” …

We must begin to pray for Godly people to be in charge of the school that concerns you and your family. Be diligent and stop scatter shooting but be determined. Each of us has authority by God over certain mountains of influence in our area and we must pull down evil strongholds from these. God has someone chosen to head every mountain and if we will dig in and find out who He has chosen for our area and do what is necessary to put them in charge. Scatter shooting is only hope but a weapon with a scope will hit the target with faith. It will probably take boots on the ground also, but God will guide us for our area of influence.
