This will help them & their families w/ housing, utilities, & copays. I hope they treat themselves to a nice dinner after they recover from their🫀 transplant ☺️

The Latino Surgical Society (LSS) issues this statement to express our collective sentiments regarding the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn affirmative action policies. Read the full statement here:

Affirmative action was never about admitting unqualified Black kids. It was always about ensuring qualified Black kids could also get accepted despite a world of systemic racism.

The “unqualified admission” you’re thinking of are legacy students—like how Kavanaugh got into Yale.

This is very disappointing. The United States was made weaker today. I love this country but today, I’m embarrassed…again.

But then again…look at the birth rates…we’ll see you real soon 😉
