    I'd rather we both smash these racist affirmative action policies and utterly smash the push of college education in the first place. The majority of people have no reason to go to college and will end up in jobs where their degrees are useless. we should be encouraging tech and trade schooling over college for kids.

    In 2017 research led by Raj Chetty found that students from families in the top 1 percent of earners were 77 times as likely to get admitted into the Ivy League than students from families making less than $30,000 a year.

    As most of those from families making less than 30k a year come from single parent (mother) households, that's not particularly surprising. Interesting, though that you directly jumped from affirmative action to being poor. Sounds kinda racist.

    You know what the single greatest factor for success in life including student achievement is? A two parent household.

    The entire article is about economic class being far more important than race.

    What's your point?
    The point is that jokers like you would NOT have been able to even attend junior college if the "elitist" in this country had their way.


    During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
