Fox News: Footnote in Supreme Court’s affirmative action ruling excludes military academies
The Supreme Court's decision on affirmative action excludes military academies from the ruling due to their unique interests. Justice Sonia Sotomayor argues that this exception shows the arbitrary nature of the majority opinion. Liberal members of Congress also criticize the decision, suggesting that it undermines diversity and full participation in society. Some experts are disappointed that the court did not address the issue of race-based admissions in military academies, but believe it may be addressed in the future. The ruling, which rejects the use of race in college admissions, is seen by Chief Justice John Roberts as a rejection of the idea that an individual's identity is defined by their skin color. Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson also expressed their support and dissent, respectively.

Fox News: RFK blames Supreme Court student loan handout smackdown on Biden's 'failure'
Democratic presidential candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. criticizes President Biden for failing to unite Congress and allowing the Supreme Court to strike down the student loan forgiveness plan. Kennedy believes that Biden's plan was ineffective and only appeared to take action. He promises to galvanize public support to pressure Congress to provide meaningful relief for Americans burdened with student debt.
Kennedy also suggests reducing education costs and making college virtually free in the United States by reallocating funds from the military budget. He views investing in higher education as crucial for America's future. The Supreme Court's ruling prevents the White House from providing federal loan forgiveness to millions of borrowers, which is seen as a significant setback for President Biden's campaign promise. Some Republican presidential candidates, such as Senator Tim Scott and former Vice President Mike Pence, support the court's decision.

Forbes: Meet The Index Laggards
Corporate governance has become focused on issues like board composition and executive compensation, but has it lost sight of the main metric: chronic underperformance? CALPERS used to release a list of underperformers, putting pressure on them to improve. I have identified 37 S&P 500 firms that have not kept pace with short-term US treasuries over the last decade. These underperforming companies, including AT&T and IBM, may have had less incentive to restructure without the demand generated by passive investing. The board of AT&T, for example, has a long average tenure, independent directors, and appropriate committees, but there is no shareholder proposal questioning the company's poor performance. It's time to refocus on the basics and hold companies accountable for their returns.
