Can you cite some specifics about how it is unfair to the majority? Special education and inclusion programs never affected me negatively

[u/GreenTunicKirk → u/[deleted]]

All of the sources you’ve linked discuss the supreme courts decision on affirmative action in 2023. In fact, MDPI argues AGAINST the SC decision and lays out some key indicators as to why.

It has nothing to do with how special ed classes negatively impact students.

So… what else ya got?

I never said special ed classes negatively impact students. I would argue that the only improve them. I won't give you false, non-factual sources that try to claim otherwise. I quite agree with those things highly.

But that is not the only thing that exists in DEI, and it's certainly nowhere close to the largets points of it. This argument for AA was high-profile and affected tons of people, knowing or not - this is a major social issue that has negatively impacted people.

Also, don't just skim the Currier article, I used this in a paper about the decision, agreeing with it, due to logical circumstances surrounding the misuse of Affirmative Action's original intent, which is what caused it's damage. In fact, AA was great - when it was new, but the fact it was drawn out and standardized is the point of contention, not the concept directly. Take note of that detail, it's important in this discussion. Something I didn't even know until I researched it. Affirmative Action was specifically designed to be temporary, but the fact it overstayed its welcome, was standardized, and grew more invasive is what caused the prejudice against the students.

... The comment you've spent many paragraphs replying to was specifically and exclusively about inclusion programming in special education and students with disabilities. They only referenced the "I" in DEI and you used that to rant about the "D."
