[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]until it is test required and names plus race removed during application evaluation, it isn't truly meritocratic.[/quote]
Of course it is. You just can't accept that others define merit differently.[/quote]

There is a pretty well accepted definition of merit.
It doesn't include skin color or family wealth.
It usually includes objective criteria.[/quote]

Wrong. Wholistic is the opposite of objective and most schools prefer wholistic. They want the actor with dyslexia, and the artist who isn't great at math, and the writer with ADHD, and the high SAT future physics professor, and, and, and, etc, etc. etc.[/quote]

Yeah but they don't want a sh*tty actor with dyslexia or the bad artist that isn't great at math, or the incomprehensible writer that has ADHD.  They want the good actor and the good artist and the good writer and there is objective evidence that they are good at these things.

And it's spelled holistic.[/quote]
