The statement about Brown v. Board of Education is false as the case sought to end segregation and the principle of "separate but equal." The Bakke case did not outlaw affirmative action entirely but did set limitations on the use of race in admissions. The Holtz case is fictional as there is no record of such a case. The University of Michigan cases (Gratz and Grutter) did result in the Supreme Court upholding moderate and flexible affirmative action programs.
