The Supreme Court is about to hear her case, which has largely gone unnoticed. A thread.

I'll take this one.

The idea that affirmative action or diversity, equity & inclusion policies equal lower standards is something that a lot of people believe.

Instead of citing what 'I believe' like Elon did, let's use facts & a something I like to called 'math'
