[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family is not a big donor, so really no skin in the game. That said, is any one concerned states are overreaching into private schools?

How can a state mandate a private universities admissions process? What’s next? Making private universities be non-religious? Or making sure a private school accepts so many first gen students?[/quote]

This.

This is huge overreach by the state and social engineering in a private entity.  [/quote]
A private entity that gets tax exemption status and government funds.[/quote]

All non-profits are tax exempt.  Is that really our criteria?

Feds to the [___] art museum:  Starting today, you may no longer "reward" big donors -- including donors who gave you painting -- by gifting them hard-to-get tickets for hot special exhibits like the Impressionists.

Why: "it's not fair.  Because too many white people, and a smattering of Asians.  They're overrepresented in the museum donor class and, since [b]we know how to run your non-profit better than you do,[/b] we insist you privilege more Black people or poors when it comes to deciding who gets to see the Impressionist exhibit. "

Repeat with every single non-profit you can think of.  The Cub Scouts, Girls on the Run, the Leukemia Walk on the Mall, Sons of Italy ... come to think of it, the Sons of Italy have waaaay too many men.  And just about all of them are white.

I will go propose some targeted legislation !

Do museum donors expect their kids to get some special consideration?   Ridiculous comparison.[/quote]

It's a solid logical hypothetical.  Museum donors expect something in return.  Since you're so literal, let's say they expect impossible-to-get tickets [i]for their young adult kids[/i]. But wait, here comes California telling the Getty Center that they can't do that.  Because so unfair!

Their kids already have so much.  So legislators in Sacramento have decided they the Getty can dole out prizes, but the legislators are gonna tell them the parameters of who gets the prizes.   Nevermind that the Getty wasn't violating the Constitution (as it would be if it only gave tickets to white people, or heterosexual people)[/quote]
