Wealthy MAGA have inherited money and go to elite colleges.


This is the point right here. They will continue to send there kids to elite colleges while the idiots who are worshipping them don’t. Wealthy MAGA are making things easier for themselves.


Uh, no. Applications at the Ivys are way, way down. Applications at SEC schools are way, way up. This isn't 4D chess. People don't want to pay for their kids to become Marxist domestic terrorists at some northeastern college when they can go to Duke or Bama or Ole Miss.


Nope.

This is absolute BS.

99.99% of human beings, if they have a shot going to Harvard, will go to Harvard. The number of people who could go to Harvard, are republican, have money to afford Harvard, and care enough about this Petty BS to then decide not to go to Harvard is so minuscule as to be completely irrelevant to anything ever.


It's always interesting to me that the middle class believes they have more insight into how the rich think than the rich do.

Let's let people chatgpt this and come to their own conclusions.

We do take note of indications of anti-white bias or anti-wealth bias, and generally speaking, more conservative campuses are free of this. Our kids deserve to be in an environment where they are welcome and included. We visited one state college in the south and eliminated it as an option based on the tour guide's repeated emphasis on all the offices and services devoted to minority students (I don't see why my kids should be the only race on campus not to receive these services- we will pay the same tuition and deserve the same services).


Is this your kid??

Win win!

That’s why nonprofits are going to start paying taxes. Abused donations for lifestyle living and ponci schemes


As someone who worked for non-profits for near poverty level wages for years, the amount of ignorance (and brainwashing) in this post is astounding.

Next time your community deals with a natural disaster don't call the Red Cross. You think they are pointless.

And your dear leader already hobbled FEMA, so good luck with them.

Trust fund lib or have five housemates or rich hubby in finance?


This was in my youth and DC rents were cheaper. No trust fund. No rich spouse. Just an earnest commitment to making the world a better place. Believe it or not, that's what motivates some people.

Are you at Red Cross? What’s your overhead? What do you think of how BLM was run and their overheard %?

I worked at Gates Foundation before moving here, we donate with an ROI lens.


Congrats. Gates Foundation staff are known to be arrogant. Checks out.


Lol. A donor is arrogant because they want 90-95% of their donation to go directly to the cause, supplies, service programs instead of paying you to go to boondoggle conferences, travel, bloat admin, and overpay yourself for being a middleman?

How old are you? You have teens or college kids at these misguided colleges now?
Did you know your Windrow Wilson school and Kennedy school are all canceled and renamed. Pretty cool progress in donor land.

My salary working for non profits ranged from: volunteer to 65K. Very few non-profit staff earn even a fraction of what they could easily earn in the for-profit sector.

Sorry what’s your org’s overhead, travel
Costs, expenses, conference hit rate?
I don’t care if you’re 70 yo talking about the 1990s.

And by the way, I worked for a donor org as well. The Gates Foundation staff were just, generally, not very humble. Which, BTW, is not a requirement of working for a funding org.

I run in these circles and no, we aren’t allowing our kids to be indoctrinated at those schools. We are wealthy and connected already and don’t need to have our kids mix and mingle at northeast elite colleges where they have no intention of making their lives. Back in the day, Ivy etc was all about networking and maybe spending years in Chicago or NY etc but now we feel the cohorts there aren’t people valuable to get to know.


Wealthy MAGA here also, and this is exactly right. Short of some kind of Shakespearean tragedy, my kids have access to the best networks. They have jobs waiting for them due to family connections. We are looking for schools that will teach them to make good decisions, to work hard, and to present well. You cannot find such an education at the Ivys right now. They are dedicated to churning out zealots. And I say this as an Ivy Leaguer. Those schools have absolutely nothing to offer us anymore.


well said. and I wonder when "go woke go broke" will begin to affect formerly elite colleges like the Ivies and NESCAC. I'd be willing to bet the family described above is full pay, while the DEI admits are mostly on scholarship. if they drive away conservative families, who will subsidize the scholarship students?

Send your kids to whatever college will give them the desired education. Are you such a weakling that if someone other than yourself values some ivy league education or some nescac education, you can't even handle it?

I may not want to send my kid to Maga University, but you go ahead. I can handle it. I don't need to go out and destroy Maga University.
