The article proposes, among others, that students whose parents are poor are given an applications boost by setting a lower bar for admission using SAT results.

I'm sitting here, peeking at DCUM, while my middle schooler works on her school work on a Saturday and practices her EC.  Outside we can hear lower-income kids play ball. The same kids bully my child on the school bus as a nerd. In school, they are given lunch ISS during which time they throw their food in my child's path. Now, according to the New York Times, these students are to be given a lower bar - perhaps this way, they can continue bullying my hardworking child while in college.

That these ideas are seriously entertained is beyond me - but needless to say, those on the receiving end will remember how they were treated by progressives.

If your kid lives near and goes to school with lower-income kids, your kid should be eligible for many of the preferences described in the article.[/quote]
