Warren, Markey Reject Ted Cruz Amendment To Stop Asian Discrimination In College Admissions

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) wanted to end discrimination against Asian-American students in college admissions based on race, but none of his peers on the other side of the aisle supported his endeavor. That includes U.S. Senator Ed Markey (D-Malden) and U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Cambridge)
Cruz submitted Amendment 1456 to the COVID–19 Hate Crimes Act (S.937) that aimed to prohibit federal funding for "institutions of higher education that discriminate against Asian Americans."
