Ham Egg Justice

Written by

In so-called “deals” with Columbia and Brown Universities, T**** demanded that they publicly share data about all applicants, including their standardized test scores, grade point averages, gender and race.

Linda McMahon, the education secretary, said this would ensure that “aspiring students will be judged solely on their merits, not their race or sex.”

To which I ask, if race and sex are not to be included in these considerations, why is the government demanding that information in the first place? But I digress.

Parental income is a major factor influencing students’ chances of being admitted to college. Studies show that these parents generally spend more time and money on their children’s education throughout their formative years, so by the time they apply to college they tend to have higher test scores and other qualifications colleges, especially elite colleges, seek.

In effect, the administration’s efforts to prioritize standardized tests and G.P.A.s in order to ‘level the playing field” is another gift from Donald T**** to the wealthy above and beyond their billion dollar tax breaks, etc.

For in truth, this move would further entrench the advantages the children of wealthy parents already enjoy. It would not reduce bias, because colleges would, presumably in order to receive federal funding, and so on, be forced to used standards based primarily on the economic advantages of an applicant’s parents when considering college admissions.

In truth, the T*** administration is not interested in leveling the playing field. It is trying to cement the already uneven uphhill that poor and minority applicants already face. This move by the Department of Education is just more of T****’s anti-“woke” agenda and must be seen for the racist and elitist BS that it is.

It is also a prefect example of what the Reverend Jesse Jackson used to refer to as “Ham and Egg Justice.’ After all, the premise seems sound. It would looks to be fair because it applies to everyone equally and there should be plenty to go around
.
However, in order to make it, the chicken leaves and egg and it goes on about its business. But the pig leaves a leg, and it ain’t goin’ nowhere.
