Students at Boston University’s School of Law are being offered therapy over the recent rulings by the United States Supreme Court. We haven’t seen anything like this since Trump won the 2016 election.
Don’t schools and students find this kind of thing embarrassing? To the fainting couch!
FOX News reports:
Boston University law students offered therapy in response to recent Supreme Court decisionsBoston University School of Law students were offered therapy after three controversial Supreme Court decisions this week about affirmative action, religious freedom and student debt forgiveness.The BU Law Student Government Association’s (SGA) statement, sent out to law students Friday afternoon, denounced the three Supreme Court decisions of the week: Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, 303 Creative LLC. v. Elenis and Biden v. Nebraska.In an email obtained by Fox News Digital, the student board began by lambasting the Supreme Court’s decision in the Students for Fair Admissions case, which declared race-based affirmative action in college admissions is unconstitutional.”[The assenting judges] went so far as to say that the race-based admission system uses race as a negative and operates it as a stereotype,” the letter stated. “They may couch their opinion in legal jargon, but we all know what this opinion aims to do: advocate for a ‘colorblind’ admission process.”…”As a reminder, BU also offers a number of wellness resources that are willing and able to help students navigate these times.”
Progressive fragility seems to be a thing.
Angela Onwuachi-Willig, the dean of the BU School of Law, released a statement:
Today, the US Supreme Court issued an opinion that holds that Harvard College and the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill violated the Equal Protection Clause in their use of race in their admissions processes. To say that we are disappointed by this decision is an understatement. The Court’s substantial narrowing of nearly 50 years of precedent is a grievous step backward, but it will not diminish our longstanding commitment to prepare “a diverse body of students for the ethical practice of law around the globe at the highest levels of quality and integrity.”This commitment is part of our institutional DNA. More than 150 years ago, the founders of Boston University School of Law (BU Law) broke with this nation’s then widely accepted, but unjust norms of racial segregation to welcome students of all races, genders, and religions. Precisely because of our founders’ commitment to diversity, BU Law has produced an impressive roster of alumni, diverse across many dimensions, who have literally changed the course of history…We have no intention of rolling the clock backwards vis-à-vis our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
That last line really gives the game away, doesn’t it?
