[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump made many life long Republicans vote for Biden. This nonsense has made me - a life long Democrat think about the Republican party. Or should I try to push for more moderate Democrats who believe in merit and less pandering? Quite a struggle.

I feel just the opposite. I strongly support giving all children a fair chance at these opportunities, not just those who prioritize expensive prep classes. It's clear-cut. Despite people screaming merit, what they mean is they want an unfair advantage. Now I don't think it's possible for any system to completely level the playing field but the changes seem like a good start.[/quote]

No, seriously - we really do want objective merit.  Why is that so hard for SJWs to grasp.  So stop with the "experience factors" and life hurdles and non-traditional schools and get back to pure objective merit admissions.  I am not looking for an unfair advantage for my kids, I just want an objective merit based admissions systems where being affluent and Asian are not considered.  I am fine with resources to help kids get on the playing field, but when its time to play, I want a purely objective merit based process to take place.[/quote]

So you want admissions to let your kid benefit from the advantages you could give them? [/quote]

So it’s a school’s job to subjectively try and assess who had the harder breaks and try to keep those out who might benefit too much from amorphously defined privilege? Would just simply letting merit and a test help let everyone who can do well on it gain admission? There is so munch obfuscation over what is really a quota system now.[/quote]
