[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you understand holistic admissions and its benefits for building a balanced community. I think want a school where people get admitted off of only strict quantitative instead of qualitative measures. That’s fine. You’re free to start a school for find one that suits your preferences. To demand private schools do x,y,z kind of reminds me of the communist style school system my family purposely moved to get away from.[/quote]

Then government should abolish the equal opportunity housing laws. If a tenant is rejected because the landlord doesn’t like the way she dresses, then it’s ok to reject the application. It’s ok if you don’t like tge law but is the law for many economic transactions like housing and job applications. What you are unable to explain is why schools are different. There is such a thing as consumer rights in capitalist countries for your information. [/quote]

Ok, let me get this straight. You want to apply the exact same requirements as the housing laws across all transactions?  First, yes, I think housing is a fundamental need, and that your access to housing, if you can pay for it, should not depend on how you dress or whether you are funny, charming, witty, etc. But you want to apply this across all transactions in society? So that includes, for example, if I want to walk into a fancy restaurant wearing a bikini and sandals, the owner has no right to deny me service? Or if I show up to prep school wearing a clown costume instead of my uniform, the principal has no right to expel me? I agree with consumer rights, but this country also reserves freedoms for providers of services as well. There is in fact, a difference between equal access to housing vs. equal access to every single service you want. [/quote]
