Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) rebuffed criticisms of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision striking down race-based affirmative action admissions policies at U.S. colleges, arguing that students ought to embrace more merit-based measures for systems and educators should raise their K-12 education standards, especially in inner-cities.
In an interview with “The Hill” on NewsNation on Thursday, Buck said future generations of college students could look to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) as “role models who didn’t need affirmative action.”
