Supreme Court Ends Affirmative Action At U.S. Colleges

The Supreme Court has ruled to overturn affirmative action in college admissions, ending universities’ decades-old ability to make race a deciding factor in the admissions process. Six justices voted against such programs, calling them a violation of the Equal Protection Clause in the Constitution. Conservatives have celebrated this court decision as a major victory as Democrats criticize the result, with President Biden calling the decision a “severe disappointment.” FOX News Sunday Host Shannon Bream joins the Rundown live from Capitol Hill to discuss what factors led the court to make this ruling, how colleges could potentially try to circumvent the affirmative action decision, and the impact this may have on diversity in America’s higher education system.

The Canadian wildfires continue to wreak havoc on the United States, with the heavy smoke causing several American cities to be rated in the top ten for worst air quality. Approximately 100 million people from the Midwest to the Carolinas are experiencing severe air quality alerts and are advised to limit their time outside. The CDC warns that wildfire smoke carries particulate matter, which can travel into the lung tissue and cause a number of respiratory illnesses. FOX News Senior Meteorologist, Janice Dean, joins to talk about the risks the smokey air poses to at-risk individuals, how the air quality will affect summer travel and activities, and why the severe heat wave in the south is more dangerous than people care to believe.
