The Supreme Court's Decision On Affirmative Action Could Affect More Than Just Admissions

• Last week, the Supreme Court decisions not only reversed decades of racial discrimination in college admissions, but they also halted Biden’s attempt to abuse executive power and cancel student loan debt for 40 million borrowers.
• Don’t expect woke elitists to give up on either issue. Several universities like Harvard have already signaled that they are looking at workarounds on racial preferences.
• Lawmakers should end these massive changes to the “income-driven repayment” program and end college accreditors’ monopoly while ending the federal government’s hold over student loans. 
• They also should push for other factors to be considered when dealing with education disparities, such as more education freedom and the home environments and family makeup of students.

Gender Ideology Is an Incoherent Kludge of Concepts, Not Sound Science or Philosophy

• Gender ideology is even harder to define than most terms because it refers to a protean postmodern confection. If you try to collect all the claims of its adherents over the years into a single long conjunctive proposition it looks downright incoherent.
• Rather than denying the reality of sex outright, gender ideologues employ the now-ubiquitous substitute, “sex assigned [or registered] at birth.” They thus avoid using the word “sex”—the real biological difference between male and female human beings—and posit, instead, a mere social construct. It's no wonder normal people are confused.
• Gender ideology is the source of the belief that children can be born in the wrong body, it fuels the spread of concepts like “gender identity”—including the many new supposed identities such as non-binary and pansexual—and the telling phrase “sex assigned at birth.” It inspires opaque proclamations like “transwomen are women.”
• When you see these confusing terms deployed to explain away what you know to be true, you can be quite sure you’re not dealing with sound science or sound philosophy, but with an incoherent kludge of concepts that we may rightly call gender ideology.

Supreme Court Student Loan Decision Will Keep Tuition Prices From Soaring Still Higher

• Taxpayers can be grateful that the Supreme Court struck down President Joe Biden’s unconstitutional student loan bailout. The justices saved America from not just a massive expense on the current federal balance sheet, but excessive borrowing and higher tuition costs in the future. 
• Biden’s student loan amnesty plan was a misuse of the 2003 HEROES Act and would have put taxpayers on the hook for up to $20,000 per student loan borrower.
• If the Supreme Court had gone along with Biden’s unconstitutional bailout of student loan borrowers, then future borrowers would expect some amount of “forgiveness” too. That provides an additional incentive to borrow money.
• But we’re not out of the woods yet. The Biden administration is still trying to bailout student loans through other means, like changing borrowers’ choice of repayment plans.
