[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does the kid blame affirmative action rather than legacy admits? It’s pretty offensive.[/quote]

Both need to be fixed[/quote]

Only one is blasted all over the news. Everywhere I look I see the headline "blames affirmative action" but no mention of the fact that ~30% of these seats go to legacy admits.

How in the world can you get your face plastered all over the news blaming affirmative action which might (at best if you REALLY stretch) account for 5%-8% of elite school admissions - while ignoring the ~30% set aside for legacy admissions.

This!!! A thousand times[/quote]

Yes, ALDC is next.

According to others in this thread ALDC can't be touched because it is completely legal.

Of course the SC has before made legal things into illegal things and vise-versa. That isn't hidden knowledge.

So what they are really saying is, "You people who work for a living can't touch us. You can't afford to wage a 20 year campaign in the first place. Even if you could, we have a 200 year head start."[/quote]

If the voters and the society wants, government has weapons.
Government can withdraw any sort of aid, and also start charging taxes.
I think it'll eventually happen someday.
