Diversity is a Compelling State Interest
As Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote in the Grutter v. Bollinger Decision:
"Major American businesses have made clear that the skills needed in today’s increasingly global marketplace can only be developed through exposure to widely diverse people, cultures, ideas, and viewpoints. High-ranking retired officers and civilian military leaders assert that a highly qualified, racially diverse officer corps is essential to national security. Moreover, because universities, and in particular, law schools, represent the training ground for a large number of the Nation’s leaders, … the path to leadership must be visibly open to talented and qualified individuals of every race and ethnicity. Thus, the Law School has a compelling interest in attaining a diverse student body."

However, due to liberals who control the educational system in America, we now teach to the lowest common denominator. This, unfortunately, means our brightest get no education , become board and hate school, those who are not as advanced struggle because they have no support network at home and end up dropping out. Hence, no one gets educated. Or, we teach crap like safe sex instead of reading, writing, and math. Then, when people like me want to hire a qualified applicant, I can not find one.
