[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess in this day and age, I would be concerned about any HS student that couldn't share their own experience or perspective on question #2, or who wouldn't be comfortable going to an educational institution that acknowledges the value of various perspectives and life experiences. I see the answer as simple as "I know it when I see it kind of thing and here's what I think."

As i read the question, they are not asking about their perspectives. But rather, their experiences. And if they have not experienced it, how are they to answer it?

Look, I get that kids struggling with that are privileged. That includes my own child (who is not in HS yet).  And I don't have an issue with wanting a diverse student population. But, I don't know that we should be dinging kids who have had the benefit of not experiencing discrimination. We should also hope that NO ONE experiences discrimination. I realize that is not the case. But, I'm not sure how this questions contributes to that goal.[/quote]

Totally agree.  It seems like now a good discrimination/victim hood anecdote is the golden ticket.  And this should be the last thing we should be hoping for.[/quote]
