“My heart breaks for any young person out there who’s wondering what their future holds,” the former first lady wrote.
“So often, we just accept that money, power, and privilege are perfectly justifiable forms of affirmative action, while kids growing up like I did are expected to compete when the ground is anything but level,” Michelle Obama wrote in her statement. “So today, my heart breaks for any young person out there who’s wondering what their future holds — and what kinds of chances will be open to them.
The court’s gutting of affirmative action programs, Michelle Obama wrote, was a reminder of not only the importance of policies that reflect principles of equity and fairness, but also the importance of making “those values real in all of our schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods.” “Now it’s up to all of us to give young people the opportunities they deserve — and help students everywhere benefit from new perspectives,” the former president wrote.
