[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Posters in here want students to do the Native American land acknowledgement spiel with their legacy status. Sorry. Not going to happen. Kids worked hard and got in. Shame about those that didn’t, but there’s a college for everyone.[/quote] No, we just want people to stop pretending there isn’t a benefit to it when we all know there is. More generally, we want people in positions of privilege to stop pretending that they earned everything by themselves and have the perspective to understand the privilege they were born into.[/quote] Why?[/quote] Because nobody likes liars. Also, we can then more accurately value college degrees and kids will have more honest assessments of the likelihood of admission. This mass gaslighting that legacy parents insist on helps nobody.
