[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]

Yeah. In reality, any measure is subject to discrimination, exploitation, and privilege.  It's just that traditionally, if your goal is good academics, you're probably much better at coming up with fair, objective [i]academic[/i] assessments than you are at coming up with fair [i]non-academic[/i] ones.
