Justice Thomas rejects lawyer’s rationale for using race in admissions for diversity: 'Don't put much stock'
Fox News
SCOTUS Justice Thomas said he doesn't put "much stock" in the argument that affirmative action policies are needed to create "diversity" during a case before the Supreme Court on Monday.
"The mechanism there is that it reduces groupthink and that people have longer and more sustained disagreement, and that leads to a more efficient outcome," Park said. Tyler Olson is a reporter covering the Senate for Fox News Digital.
Thomas responded, "I guess I don't put much stock in that because I've heard similar arguments in favor of segregation, too."
"I've heard the word diversity quite a few times, and I don't have a clue what it means. It seems to mean everything for everyone," Thomas also stated during his line of questioning.
