The Omaha Bugle Makes an Offer to Taylor Swift. . . . The Supreme Court Ends Affirmative Action Programs in College Admissions

The Board of Directors of the Omaha Bugle authorizes Jeff and Adam to offer $1,000.00 to Taylor Swift, an up-and-coming singer-songwriter, to compose a new overture for the show.  Adam even tries to sweeten the offer by offering to give Taylor a few master-class guitar lessons.   Jeff and Adam then discuss the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down affirmative action programs in college admissions.  Jeff believes that this impact will be felt more at the most prestigious schools because most second-tier colleges are having difficulty simply filling up their classes and will likely admit almost anyone who can "fog a mirror and write a check. " Jeff also argues that there is no codified discriminatory laws in existence that would support any claims that America is systematically racist.  Indeed, the Supreme Court seemed to view affirmative action as having outlived its usefulness because there is no logical endpoint to these sorts of preferential programs.
