Jean Guerrero: The Supreme Court is waging war on young people

The Supreme Court's right-wing majority seems to be declaring war on young people.

In recent days alone, the court has halted affirmative action in colleges, derailed student loan debt forgiveness and approved discrimination against LGBTQ+ couples in certain cases. The conservative justices seem hellbent on making the country a more hostile place for Gen Z and millennials, the most diverse voters in terms of race, ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation.

Many young people are wondering if they'll ever be able to afford a house or a safe and comfortable life for themselves, let alone their children. They're less inclined to have kids at all because of the high costs of living and other concerns. They see in the Supreme Court an older, mostly white and male cohort hoarding power in defiance of America's shifting demographics.
