Boston University law school students are being offered THERAPY to help them 'navigate these times' in wake of three major Supreme Court rulings on race, religion and students loans.
Students at the Boston University School of Law have been offered therapy to help them 'navigate these times' in the wake of three controversial Supreme Court rulings.
The BU Law Student Government Association's statement was sent to law students on Friday denouncing three major Supreme Court decisions from this week.
These concerned the court outlawing race as a factor in college admissions, quashing President Biden's loan forgiveness plan, and siding with a Christian graphic designer who refused to create a website for a same-sex wedding.
In a letter, first obtained by Fox News, the student board began by slamming the Supreme Court's decision in the students admission case.
According to Fox, it reads: '[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 continued: 'They may couch their opinion in legal jargon, but we all know what this opinion aims to do: advocate for a ‘colorblind’ admission process.
'However, as many of our students know and Justice Sotomayor says in her dissent, ‘ignoring race will not equalize a society that is racially unequal.
'As a reminder, BU also offers a number of wellness resources that are willing and able to help students navigate these times.'
The university's law school is not offering specialized counseling for its students, but the SGA recommended resources that are already available.
The organization also said: 'These three decisions form part of a lengthy sequence of this court's ruling which steadily erode the rights of marginalized communities and undermine the very diversity upon which our nation was built.'
