I'd also be curious as to any evidence that the quality of education has suffered. Admissions doesn't reflect that nor do college outcomes or test scores.

They certainly aren't cutting their athletics budget! What evidence do you have that they are making budget cuts and what further evidence do you have that an increase in financial aid is to blame?

One problem with maret is that they give so much financial aid that they have to cut expenses everywhere else, and the quality of education is not so good.

As someone who has recent first hand experience with this school, this quote is so different from what I have seen there. I would offer that there are remarkably supportive teachers/admin and also amazing students.

DEI?

Would you choose a middle class black student lacking educational qualifications over a rich well qualified black student based merely on income?

Well, the Supreme Court eliminated race-based admissions and encourage universities to have objective criteria for admissions. What is wrong with that ?

Being fair to our anti-DEI crusader, plenty of mediocre white men have told him via rampant propaganda that being a mediocre white man is harder than it used to be. And being mediocre, he lacks the critical thinking skills to recognize he's falling victim to confirmation bias preying on his mediocrity and insecurity.

TLDR, not all his fault that he's a 🤡

There is not a single school that teaches the bolded. Not one. Teaching about white privilege has nothing to do with whether someone is good or bad.


Well, defining privileges based on race maybe was true in the 1950s not anymore. I wonder why those schools completely ignore poverty among white people, and moreover, they use the label MAGA to describe them.


Do you like beating that straw horse? Again, you are completely misrepresenting how schools talk about privilege and oppression. Everyone has multiple axies of identity, some that bring privilege and some that don't. And, again, nothing to do with anyone being good or bad.


The only thing that I know is that DEI is destroying merit-based societies, and is creating a generation of students thinking that your identity or race are more important than merits or hardworking.


"Merit based society" of yore = no competition for mediocre white men.

Ahhhhh, yes, the DEI boogeyman that has swooped in to destroy the previously just and wholly merit based US society. The society that must have already been unraveling when you were in grade school learning grammar.
