‘This is not a normal court': Biden blasts affirmative action ruling

President Joe Biden slammed the Supreme Court’s ruling undercutting affirmative action programs in higher education during a speech at the White House on Thursday.

“This is not a normal court,” Biden said in response to a question from a reporter following his remarks.

“The truth is, we all know it, discrimination still exists in America ... today’s decision does not change that,” Biden said during his White House speech. He proposed “a new standard,” within the college admissions process, “where colleges take into account the adversity a student has overcome,” and pledged to have the Department of Education look into ways to promote diversity within the country’s education system.
