Title: U.T. Slapped by U.S. Supreme Court
Topic: Discrimination

Discussed by Cherylyn LeBon
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)

How did Martin Luther King say we should be judged?

Senator Ted Cruz stated: “In recent years, universities have made major strides to expand admissions for minorities and low-income students, working hard for the American Dream. Universities should continue to do so, expanding opportunity for everyone, but that can be accomplished without discriminating on the basis of race.”

Project 21 Co-Chairman, Cherylyn LeBon, is a former senior counsel for the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. Project 21 is a leading voice of black conservatives and is also sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research.
