Ron DeSantis: Affirmative Action Ruling Paves the Way for Merit-Based Hiring<\/h2>\n<p>In a recent interview with Salena Zito, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) shared his thoughts on the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling on affirmative action. He believes that this decision could potentially lead to corporations adopting a merit-based approach to hiring, rather than considering race.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I think the idea that we should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/christiana-kiefer-biden-admin-forces-professors-to-fall-in-line-with-radical-gender-ideology\/\" title=\"Christiana Kiefer: Biden Admin Forces Professors to Fall in Line With Radical Gender Ideology\">treat students based<\/a> on race rather than merit violates the law and the constitution,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;I think this decision may open the door for more equal treatment in Corporate America because I think Corporate America divvies up based on race.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis pointed out that General Electric, JetBlue Airways, and Google have already expressed concerns about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-news-workplace-affirmative-action-up-next-after-race-banned-in-college-admissions\/\" title=\"Supreme Court to address workplace affirmative action following college admissions race ban.\">undoing affirmative action<\/a>, as it could impact their ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-lauds-end-of-affirmative-action-with-hopes-corporate-america-is-next\/\" title=\"DeSantis praises end of affirmative action, urges Corporate America to follow suit.\">attract highly qualified individuals<\/a> and meet diversity goals.<\/p>\n<h3>Championing Merit and Unity<\/h3>\n<p>As a Harvard alumnus, DeSantis acknowledged that while universities have aimed for diversity in race, there has been a growing conformity in thought. He expressed pride in his state&#8217;s decision to eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices in schools.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Look, we&#8217;ve got to focus on merit, focus on achievement. There&#8217;s so many things that can unite us. When you elevate things that divide, that&#8217;s not healthy for society,&#8221; DeSantis emphasized. &#8220;And so I think this whole project of trying to kind of socially engineer a superficial diversity has not worked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis believes that prioritizing merit and achievement is crucial for a healthy and united society.<\/p>\n<h3>Supporting Responsible University Practices<\/h3>\n<p>DeSantis also celebrated the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling against President Joe Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/browbeating-the-white-house-stacey-abrams-warnock-pushing-biden-on-student-loan-forgiveness-to-fire-up-base-report\/\" title=\"\u2018Browbeating The White House\u2019: Stacey Abrams, Warnock Pushing Biden On Student Loan Forgiveness To Fire Up Base: Report\">student loan forgiveness plan<\/a>.
