When Chief Justice John Robers exempted the military academies from the decision to overturn affirmative action in universities, a chain reaction began. The door was opened that allowed for litigating service academy affirmative action in the courts. The National Association of Black Military women filed a brief in support of affirmative action.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From the Military Times:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the fall, Students for Fair Admissions, the same anti-affirmative-action advocacy group that successfully challenged affirmative action in civilian universities, turned its attention to the service academies. It filed lawsuits against the Army&#8217;s U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York, and the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, for what it characterized as unlawful racial discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>The National Association of Black Military Women, the American Civil Liberties Union, the New York Civil Liberties Union and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund argued in a friend-of-the court brief filed Nov. 29 that affirmative action at the U.S. Military Academy, which educates future Army officers, was &#8220;critical to the success of Black women in the military and to the military&#8217;s success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Friend-of-the-court briefs, also known as amicus briefs, are filed by entities that aren&#8217;t directly involved in a case but share their insight or expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly the same set of groups, with the difference being the addition of the ACLU Foundation of Maryland and the subtraction of the New York Civil Liberties Union, on Dec. 6 filed a similar brief in the case against the Naval Academy. That academy educates future officers for the Navy and Marine Corps.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Military Times has additional information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/education-transition\/2023\/12\/14\/black-womens-group-defends-affirmative-action-at-military-academies\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Association of Black Military Women, allied with leftist legal organizations, supports affirmative action at &hellip; <a title=\"Black women&#8217;s group supports affirmative action at service academies\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=150976\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Black women&#8217;s group supports affirmative action at service academies<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-150976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=150976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150976\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=150976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=150976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=150976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
