"Trump's Shifting Stance on Affirmative Action Sparks Controversy and Confusion"

Former Vice President Mike Pence endorsed the Supreme Court's decision to eliminate affirmative action programs in colleges and universities, stating that he does not believe there is racial inequality in the American education system. Pence argued that affirmative action was a temporary solution and that its end is a testament to the accomplishments of minority students. However, education and civil rights groups warn that this ruling will worsen inequality, as institutions in states that have already banned affirmative action have struggled to enroll diverse classes. Other Republican presidential candidates, including former President Donald Trump, also praised the decision.
